...well sort of.
This Voki was created by Ivan. Listen to what he wants to share about eagles.
We have been studying eagles in art and these webcams have been a wonderful way for us to connect with eagles and learn more about them. Wait to you see the eagle pictures we drew and the pictures we took using Jing Screen Capture.
We have been amazed to see what they are doing in "real time".

FAQ
(taken from the Raptor Resource Project)
How high is the nest?
About 80 feet.
How big is the nest?
5-6 feet across, about the same deep; it weighs about 1½ tons.
How old is the nest?
The eagles built it in 2007. A previous nest close by fell when a windstorm broke one of the branches.
Are these eagles banded?
No.
Which is the male and which is the female?
It is hard to tell the difference unless they are both on the nest. The female is larger than the male. This female has a ridge above her eyes that goes further back than on the male, and her eyes are surrounded by a greyish shadow; the male has a line around his eyes that makes them look “beadier.” Some think that the male’s head is “sleeker” than the female’s.
What is the history of this pair?
They have been together since the winter of 2007-2008. Her markings at that time indicated that she was about 4 years old. They successfully hatched and fledged 2 eaglets in 2008, then 3 in 2009, and 3 more in 2010.
