NEWS:
September 2011 - The Eagle Cam was zapped by a thunderstorm recently and is down until repairs can be made.
May 2011 —It looks like a no show from Cascade and Lady Odell this season. We will be checking the alternate nest sites in the coming weeks to see if they have chosen another site or are taking a break from nesting this year.
A new infrared camera and a standard backup camera were installed at the nest on January 30-31, 2010. The infrared camera was disabled during a thunderstorm in October 2010, and will be repaired sometime in the future. Fortunately the backup camera is working, but of course we won't be able to view the nest at night. This camera runs continuously year-round.
Have you wondered how these cameras got installed?
Check out this PDF document with 48 photos of the new camera project in January 2010.

INFORMATION and VIDEO from 2010, 2009 and 2008
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this cooperative project is to bring live video of wild eagles and wild salmon to the Oregon Zoo's Great Northwest Exhibit
where the same species are kept in captivity, and to the Internet. Through the wonders of modern technology, we can share with you, in real time, the behavior of bald eagles and salmon who make their home in America's National Forests - your National Forests.
It is our hope that these videos raise your level of awareness, appreciation, and understanding of wildlife, fish, and plants and their connection to ecosystems, landscapes and people, and entice you to visit your National Forests.
