Eagle Cam

A live feed of our local bald eagles, Chandler and Hope, and their eaglets, perched high above Port Tobacco.

A Front Row Seat to Nature’s Wonder

Watch bald eagles in their natural habitat right here on the Port Tobacco River. Our live Eagle Cam streams directly from a nesting site, giving you an up-close look at one of America’s most iconic birds as they hunt, build and raise their young.

Eagle Activities By Month

Follow Along to See the Annual Cycle of Eagle Life

November – January

Eagles return to the nest site and begin courtship displays, including aerial acrobatics and nest-building or repair. Chandler and Hope have used this nest year after year.

January – February

Eggs are laid, usually 1–3 per clutch. Both parents share incubation duties.

February – March

Eggs hatch after about 35 days. Tiny eaglets appear, and parents are busy feeding them.

March – May

Eaglets grow rapidly, developing feathers and learning to stand, stretch and flap their wings.

May – June

Young eagles begin “branching” — moving out of the nest onto nearby branches as they build strength and confidence.

June – July

Fledging occurs as the eaglets take their first flights. Parents continue to feed and teach them hunting skills.

July – August

Juveniles gain independence, dispersing from the nest area to explore new territories.

September – November

Adults may remain in the area year-round, but activity near the nest is minimal until the next season begins.
