Don't Miss This!

I wanted to share this and keep forgetting!  This has been occupying my computer time.  I even have it up on our Smart Board at school to watch during some lessons.  It is safe to say that I am addicted to this cam.

Follow this link to the Norfolk Botanical Gardens Eagle Cam.  The cam is active from 6am to 9pm (but when it is dark you can't see the eagles.  duh.) and if you read the moderator comments you will learn a ton, PLUS you can see when they last turned their eggs (there are 3 in the nest) and when they do a nest swap.

These bald eagles are totally wild.  They are not banded or tagged.  This nest is in a Loblolly Pine tree -- the tree is 100 feet tall and the next is 80 or 90 feet up, I asked the question on the comments section -- and there are 3 different camera operators that take care of the comments and the view.

As I said, I'm completely addicted to this, and in awe.  I saw a bald eagle in the wild once for sure, and I think one other time.  It was amazing.  Enjoy!
