Three eaglets on Eagle Cam!!!

[terrilhb]

Has anyone been able to get on the camera. It says it is offline. I just wanted to check on the dad. Anyone have any information?

I was just there, it says in memory of our proud eagle. the cam is off and they tell you to go to the Wildlife Center site for any updates. If you read the discussion thread it tells you more info there (to the right of the cam screen) So sad isn't it?

above is the forum link for them & people who do daily updates -- they have spotted the Dad eagle & there's even a couple pics of him there.

The cam is shut down for now, the wildlife center has people coming out today to give them an estimate & advice on how to get a cam in place so we all can continue to watch the eaglets. They plan to release them in August back into the wild. THe director there gave a really wonderful live broadcast yesterday -he was supposed to be on for an hour but he stayed 1 1/2 hours to answer questions. A summary of his broadcast can be found at:

The Norfolk center is doing a memorial bench for the Mom eagle, link to that is

We’d like to update everyone on the mother eagle & her eaglets. On 4/26, US Airways Express 4091, operated by Air Wisconsin, struck an eagle while landing in ORF. The crew was unable to avoid the eagle without risking the safety of the passengers & crew onboard. Rest assured the eaglets will be taken care of; Air Wisconsin is making a donation for their ongoing support & care.​
