The Eagle Cam at Norfolk Botanical Gardens is getting
ready for the 2009 breeding season. It appears that the same mated pair has returned to the first nest (they are abandoning the nest of 2008), and are working on it now: . The camera is being moved and updated with better infrared night lenses and a clearer view into the nest than last year's afforded. It won't be long now. Everyone is hoping for a better season with less strife and pain, than 2008 held. This is the main link... .

That is a great idea.
The cam will start shortly...I looked today and it is dark, but active like in the Spring. The weather there is milder than most of the country so we might have eggs in Feb/March. I can't blame the eagles for leaving the other nest. Maybe they knew in some way the baby had a disease..and this is nature's way of avoiding contamination. Not to mention all the other stresses that nest had!

What a coincidence! I was just telling someone about the eagle cam site a couple days ago and thought how exciting it would be when it starts up again!
YIPPEE! Let's hope this year some hussie doesn't mess things up again! .

Alffe, see what you started???? LOL I became totally bonded to that nest-- after all~~ I have done many nest art works (see one in my profile album). This year I even bought an Eagle calendar for my computer room. And we had alot of eagle action up North this summer. Eagles certainly have become a part of our family's life!

I was glued to my dual monitor at work watching all the struggles this pair went through last season. I'm glad that they're back at the old nest. The cam was up for a couple weeks in December and I was watching them bring in the sticks and they were bonding

since I am a Tidewater local who follows this saga regularly, I thought I would share these links:
