Okay, there’s a live eagle cam at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens in Virginia, and it’s trained on a nest where a gorgeous pair of bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) may soon be raising a brood.
I don’t see any eggs yet, but a daily slideshow definitely shows eagles in the nest. Here’s one of 23 images from today (Jan. 26):
Alert readers: post below immediately if you see the eagles.

I see eagle! Oh. You mean eagle *chicks*!
NO, eagle of any age! Make sure you click on the cam link; it’s not the photo!
Eagle!
Unless eagles look like server busy error messages, I’m afraid I don’t see any….

Isn’t the Bald-Eagle a true Eagle? I thought Eagles were of the genus Aquila?
Like the greatest Eagle of all, the Wedgie (Aquila Audax)!
Just found out from wikipedia:
Eagles are not a natural group but denote essentially any bird of prey large enough to hunt sizeable (about 50 cm long or more overall) vertebrate prey.

I can see Don Henley in the background…
What about Joe Walsh?
I watched the nest (sans eagles) for a while earlier today and it was definitely live, with good image quality. There was a squirrel nomming something right by the nest.
Lunch came to the nest?
Hey where I live you can see eagles just about every day.
By which I don’t mean I’m jaded about it; I’m not.
No dice. Error messages.
Meanwhile, Cooper’s hawk in Library of Congress captured: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-12293745
Tried! Couldn’t connect to the live stream… (*gakk-ari*! … disappointment!) Of course, at this hour in the morning, it’s night in Virgina–too dark to see anything, I’m sure.
Subscribing.
Had a Bald Eagle that lived somewhere near my house. Flew right over my head about 20 feet above me one time; really startled me, those birds are big!
