Deschutes National Forest, Oregon - Bald Eagle Cam

http://www.fs.fed.us/outdoors/naturewatch/eaglecam.html
This is a streaming cam with a 3-minute limit; there's a brief intro before you get to the cam.

The cam is located in Willamette Pass in Deschutes National Forest in central Oregon. The Deschutes National Forest Bald Eagle Cam is provided by the Oregon Zoo, AT&T, the National Fish & Wildlife Foundation, and the USDA Forest Service's NatureWatch Program. The area was first identified as an occupied territory in 1974, and has been successful in producing fledglings in 21 of the years since then. They raised one chick in 2006, and had an early nest failure in 2007. They do appear to have an alternate nest as well as the one with the camera, so we'll have to wait to see which one they use this year.

2007-2008 Season:
  • egg laid: April 19, 6:35 am (unusual in that only one egg was apparently laid)
  • egg lost: parents driven off nest May 11; egg abandoned

Here is Photobucket link to video showing eagles in the nest on Thursday Dec 13, courtesy of Annsva of the Maine eagle forum:

For some reason I can't always get this cam. It's only occasionally I can get a picture. The clock is always running and there is the white bar across the center with the play button. When I hit it it buffers but I don't get a picture. Any hints?

Lolly, I was having trouble too. On my computer at work, I don't have a problem. I have discovered that if I make sure I open it in a "new window" in Internet Exployer, it works much better.

Well, so much for the melting snow -- looks like they got snow last night.

:wave Queenie,
Yes it is. Actually the Eagles have made a great comeback here. We have a Raptor Rescue Center here and they released an Eagle who had injured a wing. I actually went out to the reservoir to watch it. With all of the rivers here, they have plenty of fish.

That is so good to hear. :D
I pm'd you about a couple of lakes near us, one has an escalating eagle program, festival, tours, speakers, films, bird refuge/sanctuary, raptor rehabilitation section, etc. {they have actually stopped the commercial fishing at it}

& the other has eagles, turkey vultures, owls, herons, etc., but you don't hear about them anywhere~~you've inspired me to speak with the rangers at the visitor's center about what the interest is in Raptors, there.

We know how great eagles are, we know a few up close & personal. :mhihi :eclove :nod

:wave Queenie, Well I called the Deschutes Nat'l Forest service office a bit ago as I'm having no luck accessing the cam. The last time I got it was Feb. 10,'08. The guy said they can't get it either and something must be wrong with the cam. I told him that some on this board can get it so I guess it's something odd. They're going to look into it. I wonder if it has something to do with my server.
I'll read your PM.

Hummmm. I have Quick Time. I had to download Flip for Mac in order to get other cams but they come up on the Quick Time player. Like I said, the last time I was able to get it was Feb. 10, '08.
I don't know exactly where that nest is but I'm about 1 1/2 hrs from the Deschutes National Forest. My Granddaughter had a basketball game at a school over there and guess what their school mascot is? An Eagle. They have a big wooden statue of an Eagle right out in front of the school.

Lolly try copying this address from the white box below:
Code:
http://vbxevents.powerstream.net/003/02411/live1/eagle.mov
Then, Open Quicktime and click on "file" and "open URL". Paste in the address and click "OK".
Does that work?
