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.

E3 - 8 days old and E4 - 7 days old.
The second week of development, eaglets gain roughly two pounds, experience rapid growth in features like beaks, culmens, and footpads, start replacing their white natal down with thicker grey thermal down, and begin exploring the nest. Although they aren’t yet standing on their toes, they are able to sit up – way up! – for feeding and shuffle around on their metatarsi. Their eyes are wide open and fit more comfortably in their eyesockets, features like brow ridges are beginning to appear, and their legs and footpads are turning from pink to yellow.
