Streaming Video of a Nesting Bald Eagle

Hancock House Forum Area for information on the eagle and the efforts to bring this to the web. The eagle's nest is on Hornby Island (in the Straight of Georgia between Vancouver Island and the Canadian mainland west coast) The direct link to the video is here This Streaming Video is provided by Doug Carrick and Hancock Wildlife Research Center In September of 2004 Doug Carrick organized that a video camera be placed in the nest. This was the one month period when the eagles were absent and the climber's presence would not deterr future breeding. He then had the live feed brought to his house across the road so he could see the live action in his living room -- and record the action on his vhs.. That is only the beginning of what is incredible. He got to witness the details of how the eagles bring in and place the branches and mosses. He had an incredible view into the nesting behavior of these eagles. EGG LAYING: Doug was present when the first egg was laid and had his recorder going. What he got on tape is I am sure recorded here for the first time. The female's head is less than a foot from the camera and she goes into labor -- straining and grunting (yes captured on the sound tape) and ending with her standing up to proudly look down at a beautiful white egg. I was when I saw that tape that I asked Doug if we could bring this live action the next year to the world through Streaming Video.
