Live Bald Eagle Nest Cam

[SzczerbiakManiac]

Check out this live webcam of a Bald Eagle's nest (mms://lastream001.galaxytelevision.net/hh001) up in Hornby Island, BC, Canada.

It's an unusual URL and requires Windows Media to stream the feed.

So, I've had the cam on all afternoon. Everytime I glance at it, he's/she's just sitting there like a good parent. However, last time I came in, she had turned around.

Do we know more about this situation? How long has the pair been nesting? When are the eggs due to hatch (I'm assuming they are still eggs)

Sad news (http://forum.hancockhouse.com/article.php/20060430150923711) :(

Eagles and conservation have been the joy and occasional sadness of my life. This is a sad moment. It appears that the Hornby Island bald eagle eggs are infertile. The first egg should have hatched April the 26 and the second egg today. The first embryo, if it developed at all, is surely dead. The second embryo, could still hatch but I cannot see the proper pipping of the egg shell, where the chicks beak has broken through enabling it to draw in air, the precursor to the final struggle for hatching. It does not look good for this pair this year. In fact this is the second year of failure for this nest territory.
