Live-streamed video of Georgia’s best-known bald eagles can now be seen on the website of the Georgia DNR.

In a partnership with Berry College, the DNR Wildlife Resources Division is streaming video provided by the northwest Georgia college of two bald eagles nesting near Berry’s athletic and recreation center.

The public can follow the pair 24/7 at the DNR site, as well as on Berry College’s website. Berry staff and eagle watchers also track the birds on Facebook.

DNR Nongame Conservation Section Program Manager Jim Ozier said the agency had been looking for an opportunity to live-stream an eagle nest. Berry’s cams, the only the only eagle nest cams in the state, answer that need.

“It allows people an up-close look at nest maintenance and parental behavior – activities normally seen only from afar, if at all,” Ozier said.

Once common in Georgia, bald eagles declined during the mid-20th century. There were none nesting in the state by the early 1970s.
