    Eagle nest webcam

    Sally has been keeping us up to date with wildlife webcams but while she's getting used to the iPad, I thought I might try posting a link to a webcam showing a bald eagle nest in Pittsburgh. According to the Website there are 3 eggs in the nest, due to hatch in March. in this video you can't see the eggs but you do see one of the parents dropping in for a visit:

    Or at least I hope you can see it. I'm doing this on the iPad as an experiment.

    Hard to believe there are eggs in that nest with so much snow...

    The top one works but not the bottom one. I guess they won't have a feed from the live cam for a while yet.

      Thanks for letting me know, Vicky. I removed the second link--though it had been working well with the iPad as well as with the PC. All it was showing was the snow-covered nest among snow-covered branches but I guess if you're very patient and sit there watching long enough, sooner or later there's some bird activity.

        Mama just flew in, then took off again. I never thought of eagles nesting in trees. I thought it was like on cliff sides. Very cool.

          ((((((HUGS TO ALL)))))) ~

          Thank you for the link to these eagles, agate. I think that this may just be a quick video of the nest, and not a live camera.

          Here's a link to a live feed of our favorite eagles in Decorah, Iowa:

          We've been watching this pair for several years, and they successfully produce 3 eaglets/year. This camera gets up close and personal, and has a panning feature. The parents have begun "nestorations" for their new babies this year. Note the corn husk ~ it's like a rattle! Every nursery has one! They are fascinating and excellent parents.

          We also enjoy watching the Minnesota Bound eagle's nest, which isn't live yet, I don't think:

          And it is quite amazing how these eagles lay their eggs and incubate them during freezing, snowy weather, then raise them during torrential rains, winds, and the heat of early summer. They are incredible.


          Howie ~ Eagles do build nests (or aeries) on cliffs, but they also build in trees. It may depend upon the kind of eagle as to where they nest, I'm not sure. Both the Decorah and the Minnesota eagles' nests are located near a river; Decorah is next to a fishery. It's also situated on farm land, so there is plenty of small wildlife to feed the eaglets.

          I admit the consumption of little critters by the eagles is a tad bit unnerving to me. I call it "nature in your face," and I have to remind myself that this is how wildlife survives. Watching the eaglets hatch, grow, and fledge is a joyful experience, so I can turn away during the "ewww" moments.

          Yesterday, I spotted a pair of sparrow hawks sitting on our back fence, looking over Michael's waterfall (my avatar), drenched in the sunset's glow. Magnificent. Jim observed, "It's mating season!"

          So Spring will be here before we know it! And we'll have lots of birds to enjoy!

          Love & Light,

            Love nest cams! Seven California Condors were recently released near here. Hope to see one of these soaring around one day.

            Speak of birds, DD sent this pic of some fresh wing prints in the snow that they just happened to come across while on a walk around Lake Almanor on Sunday. She said the wing span was huge and judging by the size, was probably from a Golden Eagle like the bottom picture. You can even see where the tail feathers touched down, but something must have scared it off before the landing gear touched down! It doesn't appear that it grabbed something, like a rodent, as the snow shows no other fresh tracks.

              Thanks for the info Rose.

              Nuthatch, I wonder why the lights for the cameras don't seem to bother them, and how in the world did they ever get the cameras right in the position to film there? Magnificent birds!

                We have a Bald Eagle nest that I can see from our back porch. One time (several years ago) I had left a tractor and hay baler in the field on night and going beck out the next day there was an eagle sitting on the baler. It was the first time that I had ever seen one where I had something to compare its size too. They are HUGE!! We have hawks that nest here and they have a wing span that is at least 3 or 4 feet across. When they fly over the barn yard (catching mice) they scream at the cats. And of course the cats run to the house.

                  Even cats can be intimidated by some things!

                  I've seen eagles only in zoos but they were huge. It must be really neat to be able to see a bald eagle nest from your own back porch! Anything happening there at the moment?

                    A bird that could eat a cat. Now that's real karma!

                      Wow Gary! A Bald Eagle nest! Such pretty birds. According to what I've read, they have a wing span up to 7'8". That's BIG!
                      I can't imagine seeing one of these California Condors gliding around. They have a wing span of up to 9'8".
                      We have lots of different types and sizes of hawks and turkey vultures flying around here daily . . . we have good air currents and lots if ground squirrels for them to eat.
                      But a condor would probably catch some attention!
                      I'll be watching the sky!

                        So pretty. Look at how perfectly designed those wings are. It's a flying work of art!
