2021 Cam Maintenance
Matching Drive

First - a big Thank You to all who have donated to our Matching Drive! We have received $2410 in donations so far - and as you remember, the first $1000 was going to be matched, bringing the total to $3410 - so we are a little over 1/3 of the way to our goal of $10,000 for the people and equipment needed for cleaning and maintenance for as many of our cams as possible.

A key component of our annual cam maintenance drive is our Nest Adoption Program - your donation of $250.00 allows you to adopt your favorite HWF nest and family for the entire nesting season. Your name will be listed on our HWF Live Cams page for the nest - or you may choose to adopt a nest in memory of a loved one, or to adopt a nest anonymously - just let us know what you'd like to do.

Romeo from our White Rock Nest is here to speak on behalf of all the eagles we are watching - please click the button to adopt your favorite nest or nests!

And if this isn't a good time for adopting a nest, you can also make a donation of any amount to the "Eagle Cams/General Repairs" fund or you can make a monthly donation by changing the highlighted box at the top of the page from "Donate Now" to "Donate Monthly." Many of the funds have a suggested amount - but that is just a suggestion. The amount you put in the Amount box is what you'll donate.

Clicking the button with Hope and Chase from Delta 2 just after they hatched will take you to our Donations page where you can make a donation to help us see next year's tiny eaglets this clearly.
Image

And I have exciting news - a generous supporter has offered to match the next $500 in donations - so if you donate $100, HWF will get $200!

You don't need to be in Canada to use CanadaHelps - and the rate of exchange right now is favorable to those of us in the United States - a donation of $250 Canadian dollars is currently about $200 US dollars, so if you give $250 through CanadaHelps (or PayPal), HWF gets $250 Canadian dollars, and the cost to you is based on the current rate of exchange.


Big thanks to our first wave of early adopters -

Pre-Adoptions for the 2022 Nesting Season –
September 2021 – August 2022

The remaining eagles will be leaving soon - and will be back soon - and we'd love to have sparkling clean cams to greet them on as many of our nests as possible. Thank you.

Thank you Bev, I had not actually seen the cool moon picture...I love it. Fall is wonderful. And amazingly it is Fall like here in Texas and feels great. Thankfully.......

Fall, what more could you ask for?
The Summer heat might reappear, but the feeling is here.
Leaves will not truly fall for some time as it is Texas,
yet, the pumpkins appear on the porches.

My grandson is a Halloween lover, always wearing a pumpkin shirt,
or a ghost, or something Halloween like, so celebrations of October go on long....
into December?

Fall, what more could you ask for, people smiling,
cool temperatures and needing a jacket sometimes, well just sometimes.
Thinking of boots in the future, fun things like jeans, a cool front coming.
Fall, the best.
