Enjoy. You can also pull back on the time (red line to the left) at each video, to stop at a better viewing interval.

My wife took up eagle cam watching a few years ago.

When she told me I did a little research to confirm what I suspected to be the case.

I warned her that statics show only 60% of eaglets survive and she should be prepared for when they don’t.

Also, something I wasn’t even prepared for was eagles are indiscriminate with what they kill and bring to the nest....domestic animals are not off the menu and I’ll leave it at that.

I do have a question for you though......we notice when fish are brought to the nest they are always headless.....you have any idea why that is?

I’ve been watching the one at Big Bear Valley in California; unfortunately, they lost one of their 3 hatchlings in a big storm:

Cool.

I have a hawk family nearby. Not sure what exactly. Not redtail but smaller. Momma just grabbed something out of the yard and flew off. Sparrow hawk maybe?
