There is an eagle in the nest now

I saw that -- pretty cool.

Pair of eagles in the nest 7:29CT

Just watched them both fly off towards tongue river in the general direction of the museum.

Please post a site where we can find this. Thanks

It's so cold, especially up there in the nest. I wonder how they cope. Now, how hard would it be to put a little electric blanket up there for them?

An electric blanket...really. They do just fine in the cold or they would not live in this region. After all they are not pets, however they may eat your pets...

Sir. It was just a joke.

Just bumping the Eagles Nest back to the top?

I'm wondering who actually runs the Eagle Cam feed, and if MilesCity.com was blocked from it?

I can get to it from your link. It looks great! Some friends of mine found out it was the setting on their computers that blocked them not the Eagle Cam.

Thanks, but that's different.

I'm talking about accessing the Eagle Cam feed by the MilesCity.com site itself, for the purpose of indexing / promoting their web site.

Unless I'm mistaken, it appears after I started work towards that, it was then locked down to prevent third-party access (such as that from MilesCity.com) -- which basically makes it much less "public" and much more "private".

Which seems a bit odd, considering I assume tax dollars have been spent to support it.

Perhaps I'm wrong though. That's why I asked for a contact.

I think the majority of the monies used came from donations. There are quite a few private donors. Yes, this had to be a project in coordination and sanctioned by the FWP but as far as I know, the majority of real funds are donations, the others might be in-kind- for example - the use of equipment to reach the camera to adjust it when the first nest fell and the new nest was built. I am sure someone at FWP could answer any questions about it. I do know firsthand of several private party cash donations.

I also believe that even state agencies cannot access the camera from their workplace as filters block it.

I don't want to cause a big ruckus about it, since my intention was only to promote the Eagle Cam site -- like I did in the past with the first two other MC webcam sites -- and was progressing well towards that goal, but then all of a sudden it appears I'm blocked. I would like to know why -- and if that's actually what happened.

There's no contact information on their site (that I noticed) indicating who actually controls the AngelCam account for where it's hosted.

I understand your interest in promoting it and I appreciate it very much as it is quite an amazing opportunity and very near and dear to me.

I know there are people far and wide who have enjoyed it including some people who are undergoing cancer treatments in another state and students in classrooms in other areas of our state.

I hope you can get your information without causing undue commotion. I know it is precious and I would hate to see us lose it. I do know that it took a lot of determination on the major role players and there were a lot of bridges to cross in the process.

Thanks for the interest.

I think Dean Hanvold of Technology Plus would be a good person to check with.

http://www.milescitystar....nd-nesting

"Dean Hanvold of Technology Plus installed the camera last year and provides maintenance. On the eagle cam Web site, he noted that he serviced the camera on Feb. 23 and adjusted the view to the new nest."

Unfortunately a quick search of the Internet didn't turn up any contact info. for "Technology Plus" in Miles City.

I'm scared to watch it...I know the first time I do, I'll see Parent Eagle #2 bringing a kitten to #1 for some sup-sup...

K. Duffy, I know you don't want to hear this, but a gentleman from Eagles Manor told my brother in-law that he seen them picking apart an orange cat.

Whether it is true or not, I am not sure.

I heard they went through a 40-pound bag of Pennington brand sunflower seeds from Walmart in a matter of minutes. Strangest sight ever. Downright eerie.

Eagles LOVE fish. They will eat other birds and squirrels if they are really hungry. Contrary to popular rumor, there are no dog and/or cat collars in the nest and they have never been seen eating a cat or dog.

They located the nest so they can get fish, which is by far their preferred meal. To the point that a crazy squirrel was teasing one of the eagles yesterday and the eagle, while it got annoyed, didn't bother to try to kill it, let alone eat it.

Milescity.com is not being blocked intentionally, we would love to have it embedded and promoted. The problem is we are using their free streaming account, and it can not be embedded to a web page. In order to embed it we would have to upgrade to a premium account and pay a monthly fee. Here is the link to the Anglecam page for the services and pricing that they offer, https://www.angelcam.com/apps/live-streaming. Thank you for trying Larry.

Dean, thank you for responding. I will pay the required monthly fee for it to be embedded on other sites so it can be better promoted. When you get a chance, please contact me.

I just looked at the eagle's nest and it is really rockin' and rollin' tonight. The wind must be horrible. Poor eagle must think there is an earthquake.

Back to the top. Fun to watch. Thank you.

The baby has hatched! Little grey head bobbing around earlier. Yay.

What is the black object in the nest?

I think it's probably dinner.

There is a little one in the nest.

The lighting was good at one point today and I got a good look at the dark area in the nest. It was a baby duck rather dead with his head down but still surrounded by dark but I could see the bill, eyes with a backward slick from the eye. all covered in a dark gray downy feathers.

I've gotten hooked watching the Eagle cam, but have never actually seen them bringing in food. Other than the report of a baby duck, what other prey has been observed?

2 babies! So cute!

I've not watched close enough to see much this year, but fish were brought in during the period in 2014.

Fish. One squirrel. A baby duck. And fish. Eagles like fish.

This MC web cam was featured on KTVQ news last night.

Did they try to get people to memorize the url below to go to the camera site?

If you're missing a white rat or guinea pig, I think I know where you can find it.

Just a bump?

both parents feeding right now!

I do not like the way that parent is looking at the chick...if it grows up to be an asshole, we know who to blame!!

Pretty nice view in the waning light on 7:00pm Friday 17 April with the two youngsters and one of the adults.

The babies are really getting big. Some extra "stuff" in the nest.

Anyone else having trouble viewing the eagle cam tonight?

We are having an issue with our internet connection, I am working on it!!

Just saw the two little ones exercising their wings while Mom preens a bit. Thanks Kelly for posting the access. It works for me

Cant seem to view the Eagle cam the last few days, what duz embedding not allowed mean?

That's odd. I would assume that error should not display on their own site - so no idea why it's appearing. I offered to pay for embedding to external sites (so places like MilesCity.com could display the video feed, or at least a relatively recent icon link to the video feed), but apparently the "decision makers" were not interested. Or at least they never got back to me.

There must be a glitch with the embedding. Some people at the Star were getting the embedding error message while the person two desks away could watch the eaglets with no problem

Technology, thou art confusing.

Has anyone heard from the eagle cam folks on whether this embedding issue can be fixed? Many in town are missing the most exciting part of the eaglet's growth!

Just moving this back to the top.

I just saw the fledglings. They are getting big and feathered out. I'm glad they survived the freak May snow storm.

I have seen no sign of the adults in the last 20 hours. Wonder what's going on.

Elizabeth, we didn't have any snow. A little rain. Barely measurable.

My error about the snow. We had snow and thought you did too. I just checked the nest. The two young ones are in the nest but no adults.

As of 8:30 a.m. on Friday, May 15, Mom is in the nest feeding the kiddies. Who have gotten big. Watch out for those projectile poops!

>> Eagles like fish.

: -) Like most predators, eagles take whatever can be found at the least risk of suffering harm or injury. An injury is usually a death sentence for wild predators. That’s one reason they’re not slow to scavenge carrion. This one was begging for scraps as we butchered out a caribou a few winters back. But it was a fair trade, the eagle got a free meal and we got some great photos of the ol’ girl.

Hal, in Miles City an injury would bring Alison Campbell, a local saint, to the rescue. However, I think those parents are very busy feeding those babies. Just saw the babies , more like teens a few minutes ago in the nest and they are growing fast. It won't be much longer, and thy will be flexing their wings.

The "Kids" are getting so big.

The Kids are getting big. Wonder how much longer they will stay in the nest?

We have had a power outage, and we are working on it. It may be some time tomorrow morning before we are up and running.

If you only knew what this does to an eagle-cam addict like myself. Every time it doesn't pop up promptly I imagine the worst....some Miles City nimrod shot up the nest, a Martez pennanti feasted on eaglets, crows or ravens chased them out of the nest, some other Miles City nimrod took revenge for missing ducklings....things like that.

I just checked them out. Thanks Kelly for posting the access. Those kids are looking pretty big. I think they can hold their own against marauders.

At 10 p.m. it's rock a by time with the wind rocking the nest, The young ones are sleeping peacefully. Do the parents nest or just stand guard
?

They're out getting drunk.

Good grief1 I think I saw rain, hail and lightning. The kids look wet. If you are right, Bob, those parents need to be reported to social services.

Bob is right. They are getting drunk downtown next door to the park theater.

I thought they might be in a booth out at the fairgrounds.

Looks like only one eaglet in the nest today. The other one must still be on a bender.

It's 10;30 and the kids are sleeping in the nest. has anyone seen the parents lately?

The youngsters are restless , flexing their wings, and hopping up and down. Perhaps Mom is late bringing their lunch.

June 10th, 1035 p.m. Still no parents in sight. Have they stopped feeding the kids. Maybe this is the way they launch the babies into independence.

I saw one of the adults in the nest with them Wednesday.

It's good to know the parents are still around. The kids are getting bigger but they don't seem to have their full growth yet.

I watched the nest for a while this afternoon. An adult was at the nest. The kids are asleep in the nest. It looks like the nest got some new bedding which seems to be partially blocking the view. As you can probably tell I'm addicted to checking on them.

1:44 p.m. Only one young Eagle in the nest. The other is trying to get its courage up to fly off.

6/19 at 3:42 pm there appeared be a storm. with rain drops on the camera's lens. The youngsters were hopping back and forth when one took off, hovered over the nest for a while and then came back. The other flew to the old nest and then the screen went black. it was exciting to watch.

Looks like The Eagles Have Flown. I was back in MC 6/13 -6/16 and I checked out
the nest on 6/15. I could see one of the eaglets perched on the edge of the nest.
Glad I could see one before they took off.

They both are sitting on the nest at 4:15pm 23 June 2015.

They are teenagers. They stand as far apart from each other as they can, one on the far edge of the old nest and one on the branch near the camera on the new nest. I don't know if Mom sent them to their rooms or they are just sulking.

I have noticed in the day when it gets hotter they go further in to the shade on the limb to the far right, but in the last few day they have been flying from nest to nest and one hover over the nest. you could see his/her legs in the mid air and then come down to the nest. I guess it's best to check in the evening to see if they are back at the nest. I wouldn't be surprised if the adults have taken them some where close to show them how to hunt their food.

Family Reunion at the nest! All four are home! Gonna grab a case of Michelob Ultra and have some duckling!

The nests are empty this morning. It looks like the kids will be flying high on the 4th of July.

Still Empty at 1:50 p.m. I'll check again to night to see if they come back to roost. My guess, the parents taught them how to hunt and let them know they need to move on before the fireworks to morrow night.

8:25 PM one kid in the nest.

I enjoyed seeing the fireworks from the the eagles' nest site. The lone youngster did not seem happy with the lights of the rockets from his/her perch. on the 5th at 9:40. There doesn't seem to be any eagles hanging around.

I haven't seen any action at the nest since July 5th. I feel bereft I think we 've have an empty nest again.
It was great while it lasted.I guess it's time.
