I have been watching 2 pairs of eagles through web cams for a few years now. I thought perhaps someone here might enjoy watching as well. This pair just laid their 3rd egg this past weekend. Such amazing birds.

I check it every couple of days. But most of the time they show it on the local news. Big Bear were the nest is located is only a hour away. Did you see it last week when they were covered in Snow?

Freedom!

I used to watch Decorah eagles some years back. Maybe it's time to watch another one. Thanks!

The Decorah eagle cam was the first beginning in 2006 and is still active. Fascinating! Their eagles must be at least in the third or fourth generation.

I appreciate you posting this. Thanks !
I’d be interested in knowing how they got a camera way up there !

You're quite welcome. I guess, for the purposes of full disclosure (and maybe just a little pride), I will tell you that's my nephew in the video. He has made quite the career of what he has loved since he was a little boy.

Way to go nephew !!

Every time I look there's a lazy bird sitting in the nest.
I guess the other one is out working.

The other nest that I have watched for years in SW Florida had two young chicks. They both perished this past weekend due to the bird flu. How terribly sad.

The male is an amazing bird. His last wife left the nest to gather some food and never returned. He tended the chicks until they fledged and courted a new lady in the process. She is now his partner.

The eggs are hatching. The first little pips are being heard today. Listen, you can hear it.

So far two out of three.

Exciting News! The third egg has begun to hatch!

Amazing growth in 4 weeks !

It sure is. Look at the size of their talons already. If you watch them awhile, they will spread their wings. Their wings are huge! Pin feathers are starting.

There is a weeks difference in age in these two chicks. Two chicks were hatched a week prior to the third egg hatching. One of the first two chicks died one night. Nobody knows why.

They named them last week. The big one is Gizmo, the other one is Sunny.

Thanks for the up-date. I missed the first 2 weeks. Now I know that Sunny is a week younger than Gizmo which probably explains the difference in their size.
