Wow, Eagle, I can tell you are thrilled to have this nest to watch again this season. 

Thanks for sharing the excitement!

The webcam has been up for a day. They decided to have it go live even though there is still some tinkering they need to do to the cam.  They felt that we eagle lovers should see it as they go along instead of waiting til it was perfect for them.  Yes the top cam is Hornby Island and the one below it is the Decorah, Iowa webcam.  The Hornby Island webcam is not in the same tree as the nest. In fact the cam is about 250 from the nest.  None the less it is a different perspective, the anonymous volunteers have taken us on a tour of the island with the cam. We have zoomed up to the nest.  It is wonderful that we are back home in Hornby Island!  It is beautiful scenery where the eagles have nested.  What struck me was watching mom and dad leaving and coming back was absolutely remarkable!  We will get to see the lives of the eagles in the nest and away from the nest.  Enjoy!

Your right about that, rcf, I just realized that a minute ago. I was thinking that there were 2 webcam views at this nestsite when I first went to view it. :-[

It's live now, with a great view of 3 very big chicks! 8) No parents around, at the moment.

You must of been looking at the Decorah, Iowa eagle nest. Both cam views are on that page. ;)

Yes Susha, I was hoping to wait til we know when the cam will be streaming before saying anything, I wanted to surprise everyone.  The cam is and installed and they are testing it now so it will be soon. I will let you all know when the camera is to go online for streaming.

It is too bad that we will no longer have this wonderful Eagle webcam, but Doug & Sheila Carrick have given so much of their lives to these wonderful raptors and I, too, am grateful for all that they have shared with us. I wish them well as they journey on to new adventures and more joy in their lives, whatever that looks like for them. :)

Thanks for the update, rcf.  I can certainly understand their position and am grateful for having had the opportunity to watch this wonderful nest.  "Sanity and well-being" must definitely be a priority to the dedicated folks who provide us with these opportunities.

No problem, I just did a little digging and found the info.  It really is too bad about the camera, but sometimes sanity and well being come first.  :)

I agree with you on both points :)
Makes me glad we have a longish winter  ;)
