(ABC 6 News) – Beginning November 21, viewers of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources famous EagleCam will have twice as many reasons to tune in to all the aviary action.

EagleCam will feature a new location and pair of bald eagles when it goes live Thursday at around 6:00 a.m CST. The original EagleCam will also remain on during the coming season.

According to the DNR, the new camera will focus on the nesting behavior of a breeding pair of bald eagles that have successfully and consistently nested in the area for at least four years, rearing several broods of eaglets. The original camera will continue to show the territory that includes the previous eagle pair whose nest fell April 2, 2023.

The cams will be available on the DNR website as well as their YouTube channel.

(MN DNR) – The new camera was installed at this new location because it was not possible to run electricity to the original EagleCam pair’s new nest. As with the original camera, Xcel Energy provided their services without charge, making this second camera possible.

The DNR EagleCam goes live each November to show the eagle pair courting each other and upgrading their nest. They bring in new nesting material and large sticks each year as a bonding activity. The pair typically increase their activity at the nest as winter progresses and normally by mid-February will have two or three eggs, which the adults incubate for about 35 days. Both adults participate in incubating the eggs and caring for the chicks. Once the chicks hatch, the camera zooms in closely to follow the delicate process of raising bald eagle chicks.
