Audubon of Florida has set up an Eagle Cam with a view of a nesting pair of bald eagles. At east one eaglet hatched around 10 January and a friend told me today that she got a glimpse of the eaglet when it was feeding today.
A history of this pair of eagles and this Eagle Cam are here. And you should know that daylight hours in Florida this time of year are approximately from 7:00 to 18:00 EST. (So as I write this, I’m seeing only a black screen on the web cam. But I’ll be checking in tomorrow!)
Addendum 23 January: I caught a couple quick glimpses of the young’un this morning but didn’t manage to capture a good image of it. Here are a couple shots from the webcam though….

I like eagles nests
Nestled high in the tall trees
Looking edible.
Eagles are pretty
Soaring way up there in clouds
Near Donald Trump’s hair.

That’s so cool!
Snowy owls are my favorite birds. Actually, all owls are my favorite. But I love eagles too!

very very kewl.
when i was riding up to Vermont the other day thru all this ruralness, big wide fields covered with snow and no visible action, i thought, Yeah, there’s Nature, jus’ doing Her thang.
I much prefer that to the ratrace that is the suburbs.

Speaking of Audubon… My boyfriend rented 3 SUV’s to some Audubon society group driving through San Luis Obispo. They were up at Laguna lake where we were playing disc frisbee. I haven’t researched the wildlife here at the Lake but there were lots of ducks. It’s great you can get such great close up!
