SHEPHERDSTOWN, W.Va. — Viewers from all over the globe can watch a pair of West Virginia eagles this spring as they nurture their young.
Eagle Cam
is a joint partnership between the US Fish and Wildlife Service, Outdoor Channel, and the Friends of the National Conservation Training Center.
The eagle nest is located on the campus of The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services’ National Conservation Training Center in Shepherdstown. It sits about a quarter mile from the Potomac River, according to information on the Eagle Cam site. https://www.fws.gov/media/nctc-eagle-nest-location
The NCTC Eagles, Bella and Smitty, had their first egg hatch on March 26 around 2:15 pm, according to an NCTC social media post, which included video highlights of the day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_vtR3062Ts
The Eagle Cam discussion group is a place for viewers to chime in and give updates on the status of egg and eaglet. The NCTC called the chat group “a family- and classroom-friendly discussion board.”
