This camera is located in eagle habitat where the former EagleCam nest had been watched for 10 years. On April 2, 2023, that nest fell. The former pair still visits this habitat occasionally, so we left the camera in place and keep it on line in order to view eagles and other wildlife that visits the area. The camera will remain on a “tour” of the habitat – viewing several pre-set locations for a minute or two, then moving to the next pre-set location.

The new EagleCam was installed on October 7, 2024 at a location near the Mississippi River. The resident pair of eagles has used this nest for at least four years and successfully raised young at this location. Some time after the installation of the camera, the pair began building an alternate nest nearby, which we have located. As far as we can tell, they have not returned to the nest where the camera has been focused. We can’t predict which nest the birds will use this season, so we will continue to monitor the area in person, and pan the camera around as we are able.
We are still experiencing some technical delays and glitches that will be worked out as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience as we navigate this new territory and camera.
Brand New EagleCam for Season 2024/2025 - Watch their Story Unfold!
We are pleased to present a new EagleCam! This new camera is at a nest of a breeding pair of Bald eagles. This pair has successfully used this nest for at least four years. Watch them restore their nest and bond for the coming breeding season.
At the same time, the previous camera remains running in the habitat of the eagle pair that lost their nest in 2023. This camera will remain on a tour view of the eagle habitat, with possible sightings of the previous pair of eagles.
