I have enjoyed watching the live cam in the den of Lily the black bear for the past two winters as she birthed her cubs. The bear family left the den this week and are now living out in the woods of Minnesota out of range of the camera. Luckily, I have found this live video stream of a bald eagle family in Decorah, Iowa to fill their place. The video quality is amazing, and the camera pans and zooms.
Eagles mate for life, and both mom and dad sit on the eggs before they hatch and help with raising them until kicking them out of the nest. This couple has three eaglets born last week, and you can watch them feed (fish and small prey the adults have caught) and keep warm under mom and dad. This is definitely suitable and educational for children of all ages.
The eaglets aren’t nearly as cuddly looking as Faith and Jason Bear.
No, but they aren’t going anywhere for a while, and isn’t the picture quality pristine? Did you check out the hatching videos? The links are below the live stream video.
Yes, they are so clear, much better than the bears. I watched the other videos, but have not yet bonded with the eaglets–maybe sometime.
Donna, your new theme is nice but almost impossible to read on an iPhone. I went back to an old style because I couldn’t even read what I wrote!
I wonder if you could use a blog reader on your iPhone? I bet that would solve those problems for you. You don’t see anyone’s theme, just their content in your feeder page. Google has a good one. (Richard uses a reader, and so does Robin.)
Here you go, Dale.

I think I like the eagles better than the bears.
You patriotic guy!
