Blackwater Refuge, Maryland - Bald Eagle Cam

http://www.friendsofblackwater.org/camhtm2.html
The camera has frequently updating still shots, and uses infrared technology to provide "night vision." They hope to have it daily back online around December 10th. It is turned off from 11 pm - 3 am to reduce bandwidth expenses.

The nest is located in the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge on Maryland's Eastern Shore. In the three years the camera has been on line, the pair has successfully raised nine eaglets - three chicks in 2005, two each in 2006, 2007 and 2008.

Based on past experience, look for eggs in late January, chicks in early March, and fledging in mid to late May.

2009 Season:

• adults in area: seen on osprey nest September 30th
• eggs laid: January 23 (~4:30 pm), January 26 (evening)
• hatched: seen Mar 2, 6:32 am (38 days); seen Mar 3, 6:00 am (36 days)
• named: Chesapeake and Choptank
• fledged: ~May 9 (68 days); ~May 16 (74 days)
• last seen: both together, May 18; both likely seen separately into mid-June; one, June 28 (118 days)
