Archived: Minnesota’s DNR Eagle Camera Goes Live

The Minnesota DNR’s popular webcam is back and streaming live video of America’s national bird.

Now coming to classrooms, homes, and local business offices, the DNR has announced their live coverage of a pair of nesting eagles in the Twin Cities metro area, and as Lori Naumann, DNR nongame wildlife specialist noted, it is a both fascinating and educational experience for all Minnesotans.

Known as the eagle cam, the Minnesota DNR is now recording the nest of a pair of eagles, believed to have returned from last year.

DNR biologists believe the same pair has returned to lay their eggs. Last year, their pair of eggs failed to hatch because they were laid too early and more than likely froze. This year, the DNR said the birds have laid two eggs in the last five days.

Making a come-back in Minnesota from near extinction, there are currently about 1,300 active eagle nests in the state, second only to Alaska.

In addition to the live video feed, people can also check out the activities of the new eaglets on the nongame wildlife program’s Facebook page and the DNR’s twitter feed.
