Nature In Action

February 26, 2025

The first eggs have hatched at Duke Farms, now what? Viewers look forward to this each nesting season. This viewer included.

Seeing those sweet, little, wobbly chicks, and watching them grow to make their first flight is such a treat. We are so fortunate to have live cams to open the world of nature to us in such a personal and unique way. We have the opportunity to watch and learn from the eagles. 

The animals featured in live cams are wild animals. They act how nature has intended them to act. Find a mate, reproduce, and further its kind. The dominant eaglet may grow into a dominant adult ready to take on the world, and pass along those strong genes to the next generation. The smallest may develop skills needed for survival away from the nest. It will learn how to be quick in order to steal a meal away from another, or when it is best to lay low. 

As cam viewers we watch conservation in action, learn from the wildlife we’re observing, develop a sense of wonder, and appreciate the natural world we all share.
