John at Kayak Yak has brought my attention to the Vancouver Island’s eagle nest cams, and a recent article in the Times-Colonist about them. There are lots of different cams you can watch live 24/7 but the Sidney nest is the most popular.
It’s reality broadcasting at its finest, complete with love and death, squabbles over who does the fishing or who has to sit around looking after the young ones.
A pair of bald eagles are preparing to lay eggs in a nest rigged with a webcam on Hornby Island, the 20th year they’ve returned to the same nest behind Doug and Sheila Carrick’s house.
They’ve produced 17 eaglets to date, but not all have survived. A number of the eggs haven’t even hatched.
Carrick is anticipating success this time around.
“I have a feeling this year they’re not just going to lay eggs but they’re going to have chicks,” said Carrick, 76, yesterday.
