thread on the Tesoro Bald Eagle Cam
This cam is located in Port St. Lucie on the Atlantic Coast of Florida about 125 miles north of Miami, and eagles (possibly the same pair!) have been nesting here since 1978. This pair has moved four times since building their initial nest, and while they have done some work on an alternate nest, it looks as if they'll be back in the nest with a cam for this nesting season. The nest is in a dead tree, so no leaves to obscure the view!
This pair successfully fledged two eaglets in 2006; they laid at least one egg in 2007, but it didn't hatch.

Based on past experience, look for eggs in the first half of December, chicks in mid-January, and fledging in early April.

Dad brings straw to the nest - perhaps to make a bed for a new eaglet?
Hatch may have been January 11; first feeding observed January 12
