Maine Coast - Bald Eagle Cam

This is a streaming cam with sound and the potential for night vision, although that won't be turned on until the eagles are spending nights in the nest.

The cam is located in coastal Hancock County, and the eagles have nested at this site since 1995 and raised 20 offspring, making them one of the most successful pairs in Maine. This is a beautiful nest on the coast of Maine.

They fledged two eaglets in 2006, but had tragedy in 2007 - the weather was brutal right after the chicks hatched and they lost them. They mated and spent time at the nest in 2008, but did not lay any eggs (taking a year off after a nest failure is apparently fairly common)

Based on past experience, look for eggs in the first half of March, chicks in mid-April, and fledging in early July.

2009 Season:

adults return: The pair was seen on the nest in late September, and have been visiting the nest regularly throughout the fall, leading us to hope they will nest in 2009

Thanks Soph9 :thumbsup

I thought maybe I would have to install something then realized it is night time so it would be a black screen :oops:

Thanks for the show DEF. Was nice to see my Maine eagles! :nod

Would love to see a cam that is at the nest somewhere across the river from us.

Perhaps you can take some pictures of your eagles, Maureen, and post them on the forum. We have special threads for members to do just that.

News on Hurricane Kyle.

Forecasters issued tropical storm and hurricane watches for coastal Maine on Saturday. Kyle, a Category 1 hurricane, is forecast to make landfall late Sunday or early Monday near the border between Maine and Canada.

Stay safe everyone !

Hello everyone.. :wave

My fav nest is back. :clap

Watching this nest for years...I hope Mom and Dad have some chicks this year :heart

Come on guys we need to see you!

eiguoc · **Posted:** Tue Oct 07, 2008 12:58 pm

I'm going to have to start tuning in to this nest again. I was watching at the beginning of the year up untill I needed WMP for the falcons. pity one can't have more than 1 up. It was amazing seeing them in the nest with the deep snow

Sierra · **Posted:** Tue Oct 07, 2008 1:30 pm

Pat if you get Vista they have extra WMP's you can open so you can watch more than one. When it gets busy, I have around 8 open!! LOL

Morning everyone :wave

Sounds of construction in the area persist; can hear people talking periodically too. No visual or audios of eagle activity yet this morning.

Scap taken moments ago

EIGUOC (Pat): :wave

You can have as many WMPs up as you can stand....don't need Vista....I, myself, have WMP 9.....just be sure to open "each" window separately, as opposed to trying to bring them all up in one window. Then, minimize each window on your screen; you will then have a small window for everything you've opened 24 hours a day if you wish.

CIAO~STARR :ecwink

Debs · **Posted:** Wed Oct 08, 2008 6:58 pm

Nice scap Starr

love the new view it is awesome!

Whippets, Sierra....Wow thanks for the suggestion for Vista is it like Windows Operating System? You can have lots of windows up with several cams is this true wow if so. Does Vista need alot of memory :puzzled

whippets84 · **Posted:** Thu Oct 09, 2008 10:52 am

DEBBIE:

VISTA is part of Windows Operating System....don't go buying VISTA....does not have very good reviews from a lot of owners! It was released, in my opinion, without the proper testing time in BETA. Microsoft was soooo anxious to release it, they didn't wait long enough to get all (or most) of the bugs out. Sooner or later (not too distant future), you'll probably have to switch to it because Microsoft is making it impossible to avoid it...they are (I think already have) phased out the "buying" of Windows XP in favor of this flawed system. I'm hanging onto my XP until it crashes on me. You'll find that if you tried to buy a Windows version below VISTA, you can't find a vendor to sell it to you.

You don't need VISTA....all you need is Windows Media Player...what system are you using??

:eclove
