Missouri Debuts First Live Bald Eagle Cam

The Missouri Department of Conservation, in partnership with the City of Blue Springs, has launched Missouri's first live bald eagle cam, providing a real-time view of a nesting pair in the Kansas City area. This initiative allows the public to witness a seldom-seen part of the bald eagle's life cycle, with hopes to inspire conservation efforts. Bald eagles, once dwindling to about 3,000 pairs in the 1950s, have rebounded to over 10,000 pairs in the U.S., including approximately 200 in Missouri. Eagle nests are extensive, reaching up to 13 feet deep, and the birds typically mate for life, producing one to three eggs annually. The exact nest location is undisclosed to protect the eagles, and the public is advised not to disturb them. This project aims to educate the community about the importance of wildlife conservation.
