Glacier Gardens Eagles, Juneau Alaska ~ 2018 Season

Post by sassyk » Thu Mar 01, 2018 3:33 pm

Welcome to the Glacier Gardens Eagles thread for the 2018 season.

The nest is located within the Glacier Gardens, in Juneau Alaska. Many thanks to the folks at Glacier Gardens for providing us with the opportunity to watch these eagles. These eagles successfully fledged one eaglet last season and hopefully there will be a fuzzy chick to watch this season.

Link to the the Glacier Gardens web page where you will find info on the resident eagles here. Scroll down the page for the live cam view.

Some info from their website:

Eagle Web Cam
A pair of Alaskan Bald Eagles built a nest on the Glacier Gardens property in 2004 and since then have fledged several adolescent bald eagles into the great Alaskan wild. In 2010 we set up a video camera in an adjacent tree to capture some fascinating images as the couple returns each year to raise their offspring.

Update
September 2017 – The drizzly Juneau summer didn’t hamper the eagles nest at Glacier Gardens as we watched the first successful fledgling in 3 years take flight at the end of August. The eaglet was seen perched on to several trees in the garden vicinity for about 2 weeks as it learned to fly while being fed by the parents, but it has officially flown from the area as of 09/04. As such we have discontinued the live stream due to inactivity in our camera view. While we conducted projects preventing us from promoting the camera online, specifically on YouTube, we have finalized those projects and look forward to streaming live to a larger audience in 2018. Thank you for those that visited Glacier Gardens to see the eagles, and to those able to view online while we enjoyed watching the fledging of young Justice into the Alaskan frontier.


You will find additional information on the Glacier Gardens web page. I had the pleasure of visiting the Glacier Gardens in the spring of 2005 when in Juneau on an Alaska cruise. It is a beautiful serene atmosphere in the gardens and I hope you enjoy watching this pair of bald eagles on their webcam.

I just tried to access the Glacier Gardens site and got a strange message saying the domain name expired on Apr. 12th and is pending renewal or deletion. I hope it comes back on; I'll be away from this Friday until May 20th and won't be online until I get home.

I've been away for over a month and am happy to see the adults incubating. The Gardens report there could be a hatch any day :woohoo: Adult on the nest was just calling for relief.

According to the chat the eaglet has hatched :woohoo: I don't know what time it hatched because there is no timer on the live feed but a few chatters have seen the head pop up. Here's the link to a video by deeagle55 showing Mom eating the egg shell. It is thought the chick hatched at 11:30am Alaska time. Glacier Gardens Eaglet Hatches

Another video by deeagle55 showing the top of the eaglets head at approx. the 34 sec. mark. Glacier Gardens Chick

The COTG by Mom and Dad was hilarious. Mom certainly did not want to get up and Dad was determined to have his time at brooding. :rofl: Thank you deeagle for the videos.
