HHI Eagle Cam
Follow Along on Social Media
The nest on the Eagle cam is located on private property in an undisclosed area. Eagles can be quite sensitive to human activity while nesting and the nest tree is on private property. This is believed to be at least the 14th season for this pair of eagles. During the 2023-2024 nesting season, the eagles had three eggs with two eaglets fledging. The 2024-2025 nesting season was the first season viewed with the Land Trust Eagle CAM, and we watched two eaglets successfully fledge.

Reminder to Viewers:
Just as we experienced with Harriet and Mitch, we are viewing a wild eagle nest. While we hope that all eggs hatch and grow to be healthy and successful fledges each season, things like sibling rivalry, predators, illness, natural disasters as well as territorial disputes can affect wildlife. Nature may be difficult to watch.
About seeing the nest at night: We have an IR camera using infrared lighting that is imperceptible to the eagles. If you were to visit the nest site in person at night, it would look completely dark.
This Cam does not interfere or intervene and allows nature to take its course. This live stream is intended to educate the viewers by showing nature in an unguarded fashion. You will see nature at its best, and possibly its worst. You will see life being started and sustained, in very natural ways. It is nature at her finest.

Today I rewound the main view to about 0930, and it appears that E3 might be self-feeding, but it has its back to the camera. It appears as though it’s standing on something (using it’s feet to anchor something) and tugging fairly hard using it’s beak. From behind it looks like its trying to eat - but it could be playing with a branch, or the “bedding”. When I went to the second camera view, hoping for a better angle, I was unable to use the rewind feature. It buffered for a few moments but didn’t rewind. Is rewind only for the “default” view? Either way, great to see them progressing and being so well fed. I really enjoyed rewinding yesterday to the “late” feeding when it was already dark. The rewind truly enhances the experience of understanding their activity, and provide freedom to check in and not miss as much action, because we can rewind to see what happened previously (within the limits of the feature). I used to rely on the posts and screen shots if I wasn’t able to view the site for a long period (a full day, or many hours). The posts/screen shots are still wonderful and I luv ‘em, and the rewind takes it to the next level.
As always, thank you so much for allowing us to have this experience!
Difficult for me to tell them apart to say which is self feeding. Very hungry creatures for sure.
George and Gracie are such great providers for the eaglets. Here is a delivery of a fresh fish still flopping around and E4 enjoys almost every single bite. E3 got the first feeding of the morning and now it was E4 turns. https://youtu.be/RZXT8WkxWWU
Can you say "well fed"? and they still want more!
Adult just left after feeding both E's. Check out the crops. 😲
