This camera is located in eagle habitat where the former EagleCam nest had been watched for 10 years. On April 2, 2023, that nest fell. The former pair still visits this habitat occasionally, so we left the camera in place and keep it on line in order to view eagles and other wildlife that visits the area.

Welcome to the EagleCam!

The DNR EagleCam is run by Minnesota's Nongame Wildlife Program. Our program's goal is to ensure a future for Minnesota's at-risk wildlife, as well as engage Minnesotans in wildlife outreach and education. The EagleCam is one of our best tools for bringing Minnesota’s wildlife to everyone. And your donations help keep it running!

We sincerely thank you for any amount you give, it all makes a difference in the life of Minnesota’s animals. Our work helping Minnesota's wildlife and running the EagleCam wouldn’t be possible without you. What started as a humble wildlife camera has turned into a vibrant community of supporters.
