I am not sure how long this thread will be open. Glacier Gardens will hopefully continue streaming for as long as the gardens remain open . sassyk will likely address how long this thread will remain open, as she has done in the past.

Glacier Gardens for the live steam, sharing your eagles with all of us! Thank you Violette for all of the cam adjustments & resets, and for the beautiful videos!

To our wonderful moderators, Soup and LadyDeeagle55 , for all the time you have given for all of us, and for all of the fantastic videos by LadyDeeagle55!

The 2023 season was a joy to watch. Mama and Papa successfully raised beautiful Hope to fledge. Have fun out there on your adventures Hope!

See everyone next season!

Good morning everyone

As long as the folks at GG leave the cam on live, I am OK with leaving this thread open. At the beginning of this season I asked Shoupie if someone else would be willing to step up and take over setting up and authoring the new thread for the 2023 season. I monitor many eagle nests in my area and just can't keep up with all of them. Mary Forbes kindly offered to step up and take over for me and I am hoping she will agree to continue for the 2024 nesting season. Thank you Mary

Many thanks to all of you who have contributed so much to keeping this thread so interesting and entertaining during this past season I will be checking the live feed during the remainder of the time GG agrees to leave the cam on. We never know what or who might decide to visit
