Welcome to the NEFL Eagle Cam, Featuring Romeo & Juliet!
This is a wild eagle nest and anything can happen. While we hope that two healthy juvenile eagles fledge each season, things like sibling rivalry, predators, and natural disaster can affect this eagle family and may be difficult to watch.

NEST HISTORY
Beginning October 1, 2013, the American Eagle Foundation (AEF) began providing live video streaming from a wild eagle nest located near the NE coast of Florida. The nest is located about 80′ up in a Longleaf Pine tree, and was built by the resident eagles approximately eleven years ago. Through the years, the nest has grown considerably in size and weight (likely weighing close to a ton).
For the past nine years, Gretchen Butler (Volunteer for Audubon “EagleWatch” Program and the American Eagle Foundation “Eagle Nest Cam” Program) has closely monitored and documented important events associated with the resident eagles and their offspring.
In late August or early September, the eagle pair usually return to this nest to begin their nesting cycle, which includes bonding, mating, nestorations, egg-laying, incubation, hatching, and raising their brood until their youngsters fledge and are able to fend for themselves. Mom and Dad typically remain in the nest area for 30-45 days after their young have fledged/migrated, enjoying some well-deserved time alone together in their special Florida habitat. Then, Dad will head north for cooler, less humid climates first, and Mom will leave several days later. The following breeding season, they return like clockwork and start their nesting, mating, and family-raising process all over again.
CHAT INFORMATION AND RULES
Help Us Make Our Chat Room Fun & Friendly!
- We ask all chat guests to be respectful, polite, and focused on eagles.
- First and foremost, the AEF Northeast Florida Chat Room is a family and classroom friendly place and we ask that all chat guests respect the diversity of the room. Profanity, personal invective, or other inappropriate comments will not be tolerated. Disagreements might be unavoidable but should remain polite, and they should never become arguments. Chatting is a privilege, not a right. If your presence is disruptive or inappropriate, moderators (mods) can timeout, kick, or permanently ban chat abusers, and can delete inappropriate posts.
- We request that guests refrain from touching on politics, religion, sports, TV shows, personal medical issues, and other unrelated topics. Although we respect your political views, please do not post them in the main chat, since this is not a forum for political issues.
- We prefer that chatter focus on the Northeast Florida eagles featured on this page. We are aware that many of our chatters view other nests and like to share the news (eaglet hatchings et al), which is acceptable. However, please keep information from other nests to a minimum so we don’t confuse other chatters. If you feel the need to discuss other topics, please do so by using Private Messages (PMs).
- Due to how much space they take up in the chat window, we ask for Chat guests to not post strings of several emoticons, smileys, or random characters, either on a single line or in successive posts. We also prefer that guests not post in all caps, as it can sometimes be interpreted as YELLING.
- Our Moderators volunteer 100% of their time to this project. We kindly ask that chat guests respect the Mods, who are here to make sure all viewers have a good experience.
If you have questions about the Eagles and would like to have a more in-depth conversation, please email nefleaglecam@eagles.org.
If you would like to have technical questions about Chat answered, or if you are having problems setting up an account, you may send an email to webmaster@eagles.org.
Thanks for visiting! Please tell your friends about us, and come back often.

ABOUT OUR CAMS
Three high-definition cams are available on this page. The first is a pan/tilt/zoom cam (PTZ), that provides incredible up close views of activities in the nest. The next cam down is also a PTZ cam focused on the nest from a different angle. The third video screen shows the nest tree and the canopy from a high-definition cam anchored on a different tree at a lower angle. If you watch for a while, you may be lucky enough to see eagles flying to and from the tree, and when the eaglets get to a certain size, you will see them begin to “branch” and ultimately “fledge” the nest.
At night, an infrared light is turned on. The eagles cannot see this light – it is outside their visible spectrum of light. Neither can humans. If you were at the nest site, looking up at the tree at night, you would only see light from the moon or stars. The infrared light is converted into visible light by the camera (but only black and white), and then we see the light because it has been converted and streamed to our computers!
POSTING VIDEOS AND PHOTOS FROM AEF CAMS
AEF invites anyone to post photos and videos provided by our high definition cams.

We appreciate your cooperation!
In order to protect the eagles and their nest, the specific location of this nest is private and cannot be disclosed.
