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.

Before long we will be on pip watch. What does that mean? A "pip" in an eagle egg refers to the first crack or hole that the chick makes in the eggshell as it begins the hatching process. This initial action is crucial as it allows air which is essential for its development. The process of pipping involves the chick using its beak, known as an egg tooth, to create a small hole, which gradually enlarges as the chick continues to peck at the shell. This action is a critical step in the hatching process, and it can take several hours or even days for the chick to full emerge from the egg. As the crack in the egg becomes larger you can see the chick moving within the egg. So cool!
