Blue Planet Photography - Art From Earth

I'm a professional photographer and this blog generally contains information about photography. But, since I also spent part of my life as a wildlife biologist, there will be some items about the environment as well. Maybe even some irritable ramblings.

Bald Eagle Nest Live Streaming Video

Hancock House Publishers in Surrey, British Columbia was founded by David Hancock, biologist and film distributor, in the 1960s as Hancock Wildlife Conservation Center, which became Hancock House Publishers in 1971. Hancock House publishes books on western history, native culture, nature and wildlife.

They have a Wildlife Research Division in which David Hancock is avaiable for presentations on bald eagles, turacos, grouse, the arctic, native Alaskan culture, and more.

They also have live streaming video of a nesting bald eagle pair on Hornby Island, British Columbia. Available through the website and for Windows Media Player 9, you can find the link HERE. The view is in to the top of the nest, so you can see the incubating female (or male) sitting on the nest and if they get up you can see the eggs or chicks, depending upon the date. If all goes well, you'll be able to follow the progress of the birds all the way through fledging.

The bald eagle pair laid 2 eggs, the first on March 21 and the second on March 24. Predicted hatch dates are April 26 and April 30. The video even includes sound.

Hancock House and those involved in setting this up should be commended for a job well done in creating an important educational resource. Thank you.
