The four views will be shown at the bottom of the screen as thumbnails, and you can simply click the view you want to watch.Īt night, an infrared light is turned on. The four video cam views are accessed by clicking on “Other Views,” located at the bottom right of the screen when hovering over the video screen. If you watch for a while, you may be lucky enough to see eagles flying to and from the tree, and when the eaglets get to a certain size, you will see them begin to branch and ultimately fledge the nest. One cam is mounted on a nearby tree at a lower angle and provides a long range view of the nest tree and the canopy. Three are mounted on the nest tree and provide different views of the nest. One 4K cam and three high-definition cams are available on this page. Teachers across the nation have written us with glowing compliments about the positive impact this experience has had on their students. This has been a hugely successful endeavor, and we have welcomed many classrooms with students of all ages. AEF also encourages students and groups who are studying eagles or related topics to reserve time in the chat where their questions can be answered. Knowledgeable and friendly moderators help guide the discussion and provide insight. To enhance the educational experience, a moderated chat is embedded on the cam page, allowing viewers to comment and ask questions about the eagles. – Baba Dioum, International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. In the end we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we are taught. This project also focuses on conservation, habitat protection, and the dangers that eagles still face in the wild. We will all watch with great anticipation as Samson and Gabrielle write a new chapter in the history of NEFL. This season, we have to abandon our familiar expectations, as there are two new eagles laying claim to the nest. The educational impact of our high-definition nest cams has been phenomenal, providing unprecedented insight into the Bald Eagle nesting process. A pip was confirmed for NE27 on 1/24 at 5:03am, 21 hours later the hatch was complete on 1/25 at 2:24am. On December 20 th at 7:06pm NE27 was laid.Ī pip was confirmed for NE26 on 1/22 at 8:20am, 19.75 hours later the hatch was complete on 1/23 at 4:06am. Gabby laid NE26 on December 17 th at 5:18pm, shortly after Samson flew in with a fish and got his first view of the newly laid egg. They’ve been seen mating and frequency increased as they lead us into the next part of the nesting season. It’s a joy seeing their union grow with the seasons. They’ve frequently roosted through the night at the nest or in a tree together close by. Their nest “renovation” proves the skills they have achieved over the past two seasons.
This is their third season as a bonded pair, and they seem much more relaxed and in-tune to each other. They quickly started their “nestorations”, which is a huge part of their bonding process, delivering sticks, branches, and Spanish moss. Samson returned on August 9 and Gabby returned on September 12. For months, our viewers have called this beautiful eagle Gabby because she is so talkative, and in October 2019 she was officially given the elegant name Gabrielle by the NEFL team.Īs fall approached, our resident pair, Samson & Gabrielle (Gabby), returned right on schedule.
This was not A2.Ī2 continued to be seen with visiting male eagle, Samson, and they evolved into a bonded pair. When an egg hatched on Christmas Day 2018, a female eagle following Romeo to the nest swooped down and took the hatchling. The expectations of the season ended in heartache as Juliet returned to the nest with an injury and was subsequently driven from the nest by a rival just days before the eggs were to hatch, leaving Romeo to do the work of two. However, the 2018-2019 season was very different, as several large mature eagles disturbed the peace and tranquility of this nest. They maintained an unprecedented 100% success rate over 10 seasons, raising 19 eaglets. At the same time, they protected their nest from all intruders, keeping eggs and eaglets safe. The pattern of life in the Hamlet was predictable, with resident eagles, Romeo & Juliet, returning in early Fall to begin a new season, lay their eggs and raise eaglets to fledge. As our viewers will remember, since 2008 Gretchen Butler has been carefully keeping records of this Bald Eagle nest, located in Northeast Florida.
