Our Eagle Nest Cam Story

It’s incredible how much collaboration, care, and respect for raptors have gone into establishing the eagle nest cam. The discovery of the eagle nest, thanks to the keen observation of a family member on private property, really underscores the crucial role that local communities and individuals play in wildlife conservation. Our first night camera installation was above and beyond the standards of the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service guidelines. This provided more safety for the eagles and ensures they are protected while allowing people to witness such an awe-inspiring natural process.

With the upgraded camera installation, in January 2025, our livestream became a game-changer, not only for those already following the nest but also for raising awareness and education about these majestic raptors. Enjoy watching our livestream and the timelapse recording as our eagles, Soren & Skye, incubate their eggs and wait for the eggs to hatch. They are both very attentive!

Watching these eagles care for their eaglets and observing the growth and development of the young over time will be a great opportunity for education and awareness of eagles, our national symbol. Enjoy as Spring comes to West Michigan and we wait for the eggs to hatch.
