baldeagle4eggs2008For all you animal lovers out there!!!  This is a live web cam that focuses on a Bald Eagle’s nest in Oklahoma.  I know there are a lot of these live cams out there, but this one actually works.  This pair of eagles had been nesting in a nearby tree for a long time, but last year the tree fell down.  Well, thanks to a lot of donations, the Sutton Center spearheaded the undertaking to build a suitable nesting site for the eagles.  A pole with a series of “fingers” was erected and, low and behold, the eagles took right to it and built another aerie in the “artificial tree”.  As of this writing, one eaglet has hatched and there are more eggs in the waiting.  It is very interesting to watch Mom and Dad trade places in the aerie watching over their brood, and bringing back sustenance from hunting expeditions.  I have witnessed them bring back large fish, and even another bird once.  This is really a Wicked Cool Site and I am waiting with baited breath to see if the other eggs hatch.

Once the site opens, you need to scroll down a short distance to view the cam.  It may take a little bit for the viewing window to connect, so be patient.  One more thing, the cam is only available during daylight hours.

Enjoy!!!
