The first season with the cam saw Liberty and Belle successfully fledge 3 eaglets, Big Boy, Ms Inbetween and Spunky.
Our 2nd cam season was met with great heartbreak as the winter took its toll on Liberty and Belle. They tried to incubate 3 eggs in 2007, but were unable to keep them warm and dry through several snow/ice storms. Consequently, the eggs did not hatch.
Our 3rd cam season saw this seasoned pair successfully incubate, hatch and fledge 3 more healthy eaglets!
Our 4th cam season saw this pair lay another set of 3 eggs, but only one eaglet, Hidey, hatched and fledged.
Our eagle parents, Liberty (M), and Belle (F), have nested here since the 2003-04 season. Once you have joined us, please explore the site! We have pictures of our Eaglets in the Photos Section, documents in the Files section, and links to other Eagle, Osprey & Animal cam
