Here is the latest update on the live eaglecam for the 2010 season.
Please note:
The eaglecam is currently offline.
As many eagle viewers are aware, on Sunday, July 27th, 2008, the pine tree that held the original Barton Cove Eagle nest blew over
during a passing storm. It was confirmed by Massachusetts Fish and WildLife that in 2009, the eagle pair did rebuild their nest at a new location
in a red oak tree 100 feet west of the old nest. We have a new eagle cam installed in this new tree but it is not currently functioning.
We are coordinating work efforts with two of the partner agencies, the Massachusetts Fish and Wildlife Department and Comcast Cable
to try to get the cam working for the 2010 season. The Massachusetts Fish and Wildlife Department is optimistic that they will be able
to climb the tree and trouble shoot the camera issues by late January or early February. If we are unable to coordinate work schedules,
suitable weather, and access to the island prior to February, the cam will not be operational for the 2010 season.
We will post new information as it becomes available.

the 2008 season, visit the 2008 Picture Gallery.
Our viewers have told us about several other "BirdCams" on the internet; here are the links to a couple:
