BLUE SPRINGS, Mo. — If you've ever wanted to watch bald eagle parents raise their young, now's your chance.

"The City of Blue Springs, Mo., has installed the only live camera on an eagle nest in Missouri. This spring, Missourians will be able to experience a seldom-seen part of a bald eagle’s life cycle in real-time," according to a press release.

"The ability to set up the only live stream eagle cam in the state of Missouri is an incredible opportunity to connect our community with nature in a whole new way,” said Blue Springs Mayor Chris Lievsay in a press release. “Watching these majestic birds in real-time will be an exciting experience for residents and visitors alike, showcasing the beauty of our local wildlife. This would not be possible with the partnerships and support of agencies like the Missouri Department of Conservation, Wild Souls Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation and Evergy.”

Bald eagles had only around 3,000 nesting pairs in the 1950s to more than 10,000 now, 200 of which are in Missouri.

“In collaboration with our partners, this live stream will provide folks at home, in schools, and in our communities at large with access to view nature in its wildest form,” said MDC Urban Wildlife Biologist Chris Cain. “They can see what it is like to grow as a young eagle, as well as what it takes to raise one. It can also help remind the public how little things we do can affect these creatures. The learning benefits of this project are endless.”

Bald eagles are a protected species in the United States.
