There used to be a webcam with of an eagles nest.


Eagles used to be fairly rare but I imagine you could see one just
about anywhere these days if you looked. We usually have quite a few
around here at certain times of the year. I saw 4 one morning when I
was doing my water samples right at sun rise flying over the scrub. My
wife used to have a pair that picked through her construction
dumpsters almost every day looking for leftover lunch food right next
to US41.
My buddy says they are seen around DC from time to time and we saw one
in New Hampshire when we were up there. They are all over out west.
They are still a striking bird when one flies over.


Homer Alaska is supposed to be the eagle capital of the world. We were
there in June and we only saw one scrawny eagle that looked too weak
to fly anywhere else. He was hanging around the "eagle lady's" house
there.


Well, Nova Scotia may have helped a bit with re-introducing the eagle.http://www.gov.ns.ca/natr/wildlife/C...A/18-04-5.htm- Hide quoted text -

Okay, dummy, how did that help the population of eagles in Homer, AK?
