Outstanding view of a nesting American Eagle

Ther is the greatest site available on the Web. A Web Cam is aimed right at a nesting American "Bald" Eagle near Minoqua, Wisconsin. You may have seen part of this on Fox and Friends on the Fox News Channel this morning. Go Here to watch the show. Or copy and paste americaneagletv.com into your browser.

The eaglets are due to hatch May 1, and the Web cam will be focused on the parents and the nest until the chicks are grown and have flown away. You need Real Player, which you can download from the site. It also helps to have a fast connection.

There is audio with the picture, so I have been running this behind my other work. Every once in a while I hear a little squawk, and I pop the picture forward and find that the nesting eagle is turning the egg or repositioning herself in the nest. Just a little while ago, her mate flew in with food for her. Both birds remained in the nest for about 5 minutes, and then the hunter flew away in his search for more food.

This should get quite exciting next week, so I hope a lot of people take advantage of this opportunity to watch our great American symbol raise a nest of little ones!

Enjoy!

The second chick hatched yesterday. I sure wish the videocam could zoom in for a closer look. The chicks are so small it's hard to see them and they are so close together sometimes you can only seem to see one chick. But, soon enough they'll be getting bigger and I will still be sitting here watching them! :)

Thanks for the update. I have it on my screen every day, but unless you watch it all the time, you miss these events. I've only seen one chick so far and have been wondering what happened to the other one. The Kent eagles have hatched their chicks too, but I haven't seen those yet either. It's all blurry on that camera now because one of the eagles spit fish entrails all over the lens! Click Eagle Cam 2 .

Thanks for the Owl site. That's a keeper! The eaglets have hatched in Minocqua.
