    Default Bald Eagle Nest Web Cam with Chicks

    This is pretty cool. For the first time in several decades, a pair of bald eagles have nested in Washington DC. Over the last few days they hatched 1 chick with one more ready to hatch.

    Thanks for posting the link. I googled "Bald Chicks Web Cam" and came up with something different.

    It is fun to watch. The second eagle chick has hatched and both can be seen when the adult stands to reposition. Wait for the online discussion fun when the eagles bring whole rabbits, ducks and feral cats back to the nest.


    We're considering a nest cam for the American Kestrels nesting in our yard. Kestrels are the smallest North American falcon. We'd call it the Kestrel Cam. They began mating last week, copulating several times a day. This will be their third year in a Barn Owl box in the yard. Previously, they nested two years in a box mounted to our house. Here are the chicks from the first brood last year.

    So we should probably get some aerial sharpshooters in helicopters to take them out because these predators are killing animals hunters want to kill for themselves which costs the states money in hunting licenses, and there's a probability of them killing someone's pets or animals they are raising for food.

    Ha! I think there's plenty of rabbits and feral cats for both the eagles and human hunters.

    Our little falcons will take about 500 small rodents, lizards, snakes and grasshoppers in a nesting season.

    Will do. We need to determine whether we can stream the 100 yards from the nest cam to the modem in our house. Our steel roof and siding complicates reception from the verizon broadband. We may need some kind of signal amplifier.
