The eagles of Hornby Island webcam

August · 05-25-11, 05:20 PM

They're doing it again this year. For those who haven't heard of this (you really need to move out of that cave

) a guy named Doug Carrick puts a webcam with a view into an eagles nest. You can watch the two eaglets grow from egg to adult. I find it a nice way to wind down after a hard days work.

It was pitch black when I just looked. All I could hear was a noise like a idling car engine with radiator fan noise. Weird!

That's pretty cool.

We had a guy on another forum who did a similar thing with his cats litter of kittens... oh my! they were cute.

But a word of warning subsim viewers! We trashed this chaps bandwith unmercifully for over a month with the craving for cuteness

How amazing is it that I can be here on the East Coast of the US and see eagles on the West Coast of Canada in as-good-as-real-time?

Thanks for the link - this is just too cool.

Very cool...my daughter is addicted

It's very nice that it has sound. It's nice to just leave running in the background and hear the birds around the nest.
