Wow, thank you for the Kent Eagle Cam. I used to live in Snohomish, and we had an eagle that would drop by my place every fall on his way south from Alaska.

The eaglecam in Minoqua, WI on this thread is only viewable during the day, Central Daylight Time. Although the Kent pictures are closer and clearer, the Minoqua pictures are live streaming video with audio too. They are both exciting sites. It's fun to listen to the eagles call to each other when the male brings food. It's a rather quiet call, but it's enough to get my attention so that I bring the picture forward on my desktop and get to see the action. It really makes a big noise when he takes off from the nest. I imagine that is what angels' wings would sound like! LOL. Whoooooosh!

The Minoqua eagle also has two eggs in the nest, and they are due to hatch May 1. Perhaps we'll have eaglets at the same time in both Washington and Wisconsin.

These two switch off sitting the nest... one comes back and the other will go hunt for awhile. Lately they have been bringing food to each other, but only for the last week or so, maybe expecting the hatchlings will be there and hungry. The Kent cam has been active for three years, and they have produced surviving offspring each year.

Here is the link to the "Notes from Down Under" - the observations and diaries of the couple who own the house under the nest, from the same site. Ooh look quick! - the honey is back! - with some kind of critter to eat it looks like. How nice of him.
