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.

Both little chicklets appear to have been well fed.
It appears that there was a food fest. Look at their crops. Even laying down they appears to be quite full.
E3 & E4 taking a nap and looking like a big puddle of fluff! Soon their feathers will change and they won’t look quite so cuddly.
Breakfast delivery
Every time they are left alone, I’m so afraid something will swoop in (or crawl in) and grab one of them. Are they in much danger or are mom and dad watching close by?
Almost bite for bite for each E.👍👍
And the food fight begins.
George just delivered a fish for supper. Yummy!
What should we see in the coming weeks? Approximately at 9 days old, the natal down is replaced by thermal down, which is gray in color and has better insulating properties. By the 15th day of life, the eaglets can thermoregulate on their own. At 3 weeks, the entire body is gray in color. Juvenile feathers begin to emerge but are not readily visible. At 4 weeks, juvenile feathers begin to emerge through the thermal down. The top of the head, back, and lateral tracks are the first to show juvenile feathers. Truly a transformation is front of our eyes.
