New eagle nest to be featured on MN DNR EagleCam

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) EagleCam will be featuring a new nest location and a new pair of bald eagles starting Thursday, November 21.

The new camera will follow the nesting behavior of a pair of breeding bald eagles that have successfully and consistently nested for at least four years. The original camera, will also return Thursday and continue to track the territory of a pair of bald eagles whose nest fell April 2, 2023.

“While the DNR EagleCam brings Minnesota wildlife into homes and schools in an exciting and educational way, the Nongame Wildlife Program has helped restore and support populations of eagles, loons and many other species,” DNR Ecological and Water Resources Division Director Katie Smith said. “This vital work is supported by donations on our webpage, on state tax forms, and through bequests and other gifts.”

Both cameras can be viewed on the DNR website or the the DNR YouTube channel starting November 21.
