Live from the Nest: Tracking This Season’s Bald Eagle Families

This season, PixCams is proud to bring you live-streaming coverage of five bald eagle nests, offering an up-close look at these majestic raptors in their natural habitats. As we follow their nesting journeys, we’ve observed that only three of the five nests are currently active, each providing a unique glimpse into the challenges and triumphs of eagle parenthood.

Among the three active nests, a total of four eaglets have hatched, making this an exciting yet unusual season. With fewer eaglets than expected, we’re keeping a close watch on the nesting pairs as they work to raise their young. Whether you’re a dedicated eagle enthusiast or a casual viewer, our live streams offer a front-row seat to one of nature’s most powerful and inspiring spectacles.

Little Miami Conservancy Eagle Nest Continues Its Legacy of Success

The Little Miami Conservancy (LMC) bald eagle nest in Miami, Ohio, continues to be a standout among our live-streamed eagle nests. This year, the devoted eagle pair successfully hatched both of their eggs, welcoming eaglet LM8 on March 28th and eaglet LM9 on March 30th. With two healthy eaglets growing under the care of their attentive parents, this nest remains a beacon of success in our ongoing eagle monitoring efforts.

Last season, this same pair made headlines by raising and fledging three eaglets, making it the most productive nest we streamed in 2023. With another strong start this year, the Little Miami Conservancy nest has once again earned its place as our most successful nest for two consecutive seasons. This nesting site, situated along the scenic Little Miami River, benefits from the dedicated conservation efforts of the Little Miami Conservancy, a nonprofit organization committed to preserving and protecting the river’s natural habitats. Their work has been instrumental in maintaining a thriving environment for bald eagles and other wildlife, ensuring that these magnificent birds continue to flourish in the region.

Ott Family Bald Eagles Hatch One Eaglet

The Ott Family Bald Eagle Nest Camera, which is located in the picturesque town of Warsaw in western New York has one eaglet in the nest this year. The pair affectionately named York and Oreo by local students, laid 3 eggs this season but only one hatched on March 18th.

The nest has been a feature of the Ott family’s backyard for four years, capturing their attention after Steven Ott’s retirement allowed him more time to observe the eagles.

The live stream not only captivates audiences but also serves as an educational tool, highlighting the importance of conservation efforts. Despite a significant resurgence, bald eagles remain listed as a threatened species in New York, primarily due to habitat loss and human disturbances. Initiatives like the Ott Family Bald Eagle Camera play a crucial role in fostering public awareness and support for ongoing preservation endeavors.

The camera was installed in December 2024 through a collaboration between the Ott family and PixCams, a wildlife livestream company. The installation involved running over 300 feet of wiring to connect the camera to Wi-Fi, enabling a global audience to observe the eagles’ nesting activities.

The Ott family’s dedication to sharing this experience has resonated with viewers worldwide. Since going live, the Eagle Cam has garnered over 60,000 views, connecting people from various locations, including California, to the natural beauty of western New York. This widespread interest underscores the universal appeal of witnessing wildlife in its natural habitat and the power of technology to bridge distances.

New Life at the U.S. Steel Bald Eagle Nest: Irvin and Stella Welcome Their First Eaglet

In a heartening development for local wildlife enthusiasts, the bald eagle pair Irvin and Stella have welcomed their first eaglet of the season at the U.S. Steel Irvin Plant in West Mifflin. The chick hatched early on Thursday, March 27, 2025, marking a significant milestone for the nesting duo. This event is particularly noteworthy as it represents the first offspring for Irvin and Stella as a pair, following Stella’s recent arrival as Irvin’s new mate.

The journey to this hatching began when Stella laid three eggs in February. The first egg was laid on February 13, followed by the second on February 16, and the third on February 19.Unfortunately, observers believe that the first egg may not be viable. The newly hatched eaglet emerged from the second egg, and anticipation remains high for the potential hatching of the third egg in the coming days.

Irvin is an experienced father, having previously raised eaglets with his former mate, Claire. However, this marks Stella’s inaugural experience as a mother at the Irvin Plant nest. The pair has been diligently caring for their eggs, with bald eagle eggs typically requiring about 35 days of incubation before hatching.

The nest at the U.S. Steel Irvin Plant has been a focal point for bird watchers and nature enthusiasts, especially with the availability of a live stream that offers an intimate view of the eagles’ daily lives. This platform has allowed viewers to witness pivotal moments, such as the recent hatching, fostering a deeper connection between the public and these majestic birds.

As the eaglet grows under the watchful eyes of Irvin and Stella, the community remains hopeful for the successful hatching of the remaining egg. This event underscores the resilience and continuity of the bald eagle population in the region, offering a symbol of natural beauty and perseverance.

A Special Treat: Gray Squirrel Gives Birth in Owl Box 4

A surprise unfolded on the afternoon of April 3rd when a female gray squirrel took up residence in Owl Box 4 and gave birth to a litter of three or four tiny squirrels. This rare and intimate look at squirrel motherhood is a special treat for wildlife watchers, as gray squirrels typically seek out secluded and sheltered spaces to raise their young. While they often build leaf nests, known as dreys, high in the trees, tree cavities and nest boxes provide excellent protection from predators and harsh weather, making Owl Box 4 an ideal nursery.

Gray squirrel mothers are incredibly devoted caregivers. For the next several weeks, she will nurse her young, providing them with rich, fatty milk to help them grow rapidly. Newborn gray squirrels are born hairless, blind, and entirely dependent on their mother’s warmth and care. Their eyes will begin to open at around four weeks old, and by six to seven weeks, they will start to explore their surroundings within the box. During this time, the mother will be vigilant, keeping them warm, grooming them, and ensuring they are well-fed.

The young squirrels will likely remain in the box for about 10 to 12 weeks before venturing outside. As they grow, their playful and curious nature will become more apparent, and they will begin testing their climbing and jumping skills. Eventually, they will leave the box to establish their own territories, but in the meantime, this little squirrel family will provide fascinating viewing for anyone keeping an eye on Owl Box 4. This event is a great reminder of how nest boxes not only benefit owls but also serve as safe havens for other wildlife, enriching our understanding of the natural world right in our own backyards.
