Not nearly as great cameras, but more local to home, I'm reposting the Catalina cams that we watched last year. There is more than one nest with a cam.

There's a little mouse tempting fate in the Two Harbor's nest about 12" in front of the Eagle at the moment. The Eagle seems....intrigued. lol

Lots of activity tonight- mom moving eggs around a lot, then she falls asleep, then more movement.....could hatch ANY MINUTE! check it out if you haven't already.

The 1st day I had it on there was good audio but since then there's just a lot of noise. Great video

Of course since I posted, mommy hasn't moved an inch. Figures

Wrightwood · « **Reply #6 on:** Apr 01, 11, 08:44:28 PM »

We've been glued to it since you made the post and the soon to be parent only moves once in a while

This is awesome. I read on the site that this nest weighs 1 1/2 tons? Beautiful.

ONE HATCHED OVERNIGHT! More sure to happen today! check it out!!!!

Wrightwood · « **Reply #9 on:** Apr 02, 11, 08:27:14 AM »

It's adorable!
Looks like the other two eggs are partially open.

Wrightwood · « **Reply #10 on:** Apr 02, 11, 08:42:28 AM »

The camera they have installed is a PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) and as soon as the parent moves off eggs they zoom in.

Here's a screen capture I was able to just get:

Where did the rabbit come from?

ForestGal · « **Reply #13 on:** Apr 02, 11, 04:33:20 PM »

What incredibly beautiful birds they are! I had no idea the newborn chicks were so white and fluffy, nor did I know how huge their nests are. This is fascinating!

here, but John, do we get any cams of local Jays or Woodpeckers this spring?

Wrightwood · « **Reply #14 on:** Apr 02, 11, 05:07:34 PM »

I've been noticing Flicker's in the nest box and have to get the camera working.

John: I asked Rennman the same thing tonight! He said it had been there, I disagree. Talk about "breakfast in bed..."

Second hatch 4/3/2011.

I started watching the eagles (and some Barn Owls) on UStream a couple of weeks ago. The reason I like the Decorah Eagles site so much, is how close the camera is to the eagles!

I have been watching the Barn Owls since before they were hatched, now they are six owlets that the parents spend all night bringing food to them, what a hungry bunch! After 7 PM or so, it becomes a very busy owl box!

Looks like one of the parents brought some fresh meat to the nest as I see what appears to be a dead bird.

check out the camera RIGHT NOW. Time for breakfast!
