Last year, on one of our trips to the Shenandoahs, one of the lodges had a video terminal in the lobby that showed a pair of nesting falcons up on Stony Man. We were fascinated. We also hiked to the summit to see them ourselves.
A couple of weeks ago I stumbled across this cam at the Norfolk Botanical Garden of a nesting pair of eagles with three chicks. Donna is especially hooked now on eagle cam-ing. The website says that the nest is in a 90 foot loblolly pine, and that the home is between 600 and 800 pounds and about 8 feet in diameter.
Take a peek. The parents feed the chicks regularly with fish. Just watch for motion sickness as the cam sways in the wind :)
