This live cam site was brought to my attention on last nights evening news. A pair of bald eagles named Jackie and Shadow are incubating 3 eggs high in a nest near Big Bear California. It's reported the eggs could begin hatching by 2/29/24.
The eagles are majestic and the scenery when the camera pans out is incredible. It's provided a lovely distraction for us during a difficult time. smile

I watch Jackie and Shadow on YouTube while I await the return of our ospreys. I love the ups and downs of bird life, its such a precarious time when the chicks are newly hatched.
Tha Manton Bay osprey nest is live and has been visited by a pair of Egyptian geese. Someone has been today and put a dustbin lid on the nest to deter them.

MiniMoon I just bookmarked the Manton Bay osprey live and will keep an eye on it as well, thank you! I see the dustbin lid resting on the nest. Do you know why someone would want to deter them?

The returning ospreys would have a hard time taking the nest back from the Egyptian geese particularly if they had laid eggs. The ospreys are expected about the middle of March. They are Maya and 33.

I love those live web can feeds. I even watch the sea at my favourite Cornish beach🙂, but the birds ones are delightful.
