Raptor Resource Project is a non-profit organization that specializes in the preservation of falcons, eagles, ospreys, hawks, and owls. They were established in 1988 to establish and strengthen breeding populations of these raptors by creating, improving, and maintaining nests and nest sites. Currently they are managing over twenty-three falcon, eagle, and owl nest sites.
They also provide training in nest site creation and management across the United States. More than 85,000 people each year are reached through their lectures, education programs, and their website. They have developed an innovative program in nest site management and viewing that bring people closer to the world of raptors around them.
At this time they have set up a web cam on a mother bald eagle in her nest high up in a tree at a fish hatchery in Decorah, Iowa. This web cam is available for online viewing 24/7 and at night an infrared light allows for continuous viewing also. The eagle cannot see the infrared light so it does not disturb her.
The world watched as she sat on her eggs and as they hatched one by one. Now that her babies have all hatched, all eyes are on mama Eagle as she guards and keeps them safe and warm. It is also fun to see her feed her hungry babies. Never before have we been allowed a birds eye view like this. It is the use of technology at it's best!

No words to say how it makes me feel <3<3<3
I heard about this on Klove radio. Believe was on the 30th. They mentioned was on Ustream & was supposed to hatch between the 30-1 month. I had to see it. I had it shared on my fb wall so easier to get to & shre with others. I got to see b4 they hatched as well as after & everything in between. As far as the hatching I got to see the first egg start hatching. Its been awesome to see all this. I want to thank the people for making it possible to see this. This is so awesome watching one of Gods most sacred animals. Its like looking out own window & seeing in own backyard.
it's awesome and wonderful!

This is so Beautiful and amazing and wonderful to watch. Thank You for sharing. Joyce in Pa.
What's that grey clump next to her? Anyone?
I have the same question... I'm concerned... is that gray clump one of the babies???
One of the baby is dead ? OMG
I have been watching for 2 days, and find this so heartwarming! I am an
IOWA girl, watching the progress from Arizona. God bless and keep the new
family safe.
The chicks are ok. It's something she killed for food. I saw her feeding them from it earlier.
I am an IOWA girl watching the new family for 2 days, from Phoenix, AZ.
God bless them and thank You for Your miracles!

What attacked the nest last night does anyone know?
Wow! this makes zoo's seem a bit redundent :-)
aw this is fascinating. What a fabulous view of her. Just look at htose georgeous baby chicks. Well done to who managed to set this up.coool...
It's a pretty awesome comeback these majestic raptors are making. Here in Northwestern Pennsylvania we are seeing them more and more often. Two weeks ago I photographed one flipping a Canada Goose onto it's back and started eating it before I accidently scared it off to a nearby tree. This live feed you have set up is just amazing and I thank you for sharing it.
-thank you for providing such a wonderful part of life.. judith :)
It looks like the light is bothersome. Other than that this is a great pleasure to see.
Is that the Dad nesting with them now
goodness me snow snow snow go away.... judith:)
Looks like some pretty nasty weather... they are such great parents .
Bless their hearts - that is some miserable weather to have to sit through. Next time I have a bad day with my kids, I'm going to remember what these eagles are suffering through for their babies. Thanks so much for sharing this.

Che spettacolo!!!! Barbara
Does anyone know why the male eagle doesnt sleep with them at night?
It is amazing to be able to see how fast beautiful these babies grow!
Meegwetch for allowing us to watch <3
AMAZING,,,,,she a good mother.
I have never seen anything so breath taking and awe inspiring! Thanks for sharing with all of us! I read somewhere the male goes to hunt at night for himself. Not sure how true this is...
This is unbelievable and amazing...what I want to know are the parents in the nest at night too...I never see them, but then, I only just discovered this? It's just incredibly awesome.... Thanks for making this possible! 8)
Can you please move the lens back so we can see the whole nest and the 3 birds. They are getting so big and spreading their wings. Thank you for this experience. What are the sites for watching more live shots?
Where is the third baby?
How old are they now and when will they be ready to leave the nest?
The eaglet just woke up and did it's business over the side of the nest! How neat is that. Almost lost it's balance but didn't fall. All is well. Wish the flies would leave them alone.
Where is the mother. I have been watching on and off for hours and have not seen her. I feel so bad when they cry.
What a sight, all 3 of them are out of the nest!! AWESOME
This is truly a gift... what great parents... such a beautiful farm.
Nature and technology.... magical!!!
How wonderful and educational it was to watch the babies grow up. But I will surely miss watching them. That was one of my highlights of the day (or night).
Have not seen the 3rd baby for a couple of days. I saw one on the ground and the horses were going to check it out, wonder if something happened?
There is a black spot on the ground to the right of the barn that is where the baby was the other day. I wonder if that is the baby laying there?
they have grown, so big, I adore you, white Wolf, beautiful spirit, you, have , one love, forever, no matter what or who?
dang it! I missed the babies hatching!
