Up Close! In the Only Bald Eagle’s Nest Live Cam in Missouri

Growing up in the 80’s, a kid in the Midwest was only going to see a bald eagle on TV or maybe at a zoo. Now in the 21^st century during the winter months you can go down to the Mississippi river and see bald eagles most every day. It’s amazing!

What if you want a closer look at these impressive birds? Seeing them in real life you realize just how big they are. There’s no way you could get within inches of them much less their nest. Unless you have a fixed camera.

The Missouri Department of Conservation says there is a video camera that has been rigged right above an eagle’s next in Blue Springs, Missouri. Apparently, this is the only bald eagle live stream in the state of Missouri. The city of Blue Springs won’t divulge the physical location of the nest due to concerns of people disrupting the natural habits of the eagles. Bald Eagles are still, despite a wonderful rebound in numbers, on the protected species list per the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act.

The live stream can be seen on YouTube, and can be a relaxing thing to have on at any time, but it especially seems to do the trick if you’re overwhelmed. Mo. Dept. of Conservation also has other live cams to check out too.
