American Symbol: Bald Eagle

A bald eagle doesn’t sound like an attractive bird. But it’s pictured on the Great Seal of the United States and on the dollar bill. Why was this bird chosen as a national symbol? Together we will explore his amazing bird by watching the SouthWest Florida Eagle Cam.

The 2018-2019 season is the seventh season Dick Pritchett Real Estate has provided the live look into the Southwest Florida nest. The SouthWest Florida Eagle Cam has been providing 24/7 live video stream of an active pair of bald eagles in their nest since 2012. Watching the live feed allows viewers to observe the life of an eagle first-hand. “Eagles are wild birds and anything can happen in the wild. The Southwest Florida Eagle Camera (SWFEC) does not interfere or intervene and allows nature to take its course. You will see life and you might see death, but this is nature at her finest.”

Harriet and M15 worked as a well-timed team, taking turns for constant incubation of their two perfect Eggs. M15 added grasses, moss, and straw to the nest to keep their Eggs cushioned and toasty warm. Watch the live feed below to see what they are up to this very minute!
