In 2022, we posted the blog below regarding Bird Cams. Since it’s a “dark and stormy day” I allowed myself to get distracted watching Bird Cams.
- The Hilton Head Island Land Trust camera now shows a Great Horned Owl instead of a Bald Eagle
- The Savannah Cam from 2022 appears to now be video of old footage.
- The Cornell site now shows even more Bird cams and indicates if the camera is live or not
- There is a Southwest Florida Eagle Cam that was adorable this morning as the parent was feeding the eaglet in the gusting wind. You do have to see some ads to view
- The Audubon Bird Cam site has numerous cameras to watch including two on the Puffins and two on Osprey
I hope this provides distraction on a rainy day without preventing you from completing all those marvelous chores we all have.

View Bald Eagle and Great Horned Owl Bird Cams
Tired of watching reruns on Netflix? There are two live camera feeds in the area of birds on their nests. There is a Bald Eagle nest on Hilton Head Island and a Great Horned Owl nest in Savannah. Both are live feeds and anything can happen.
Hilton Head Island Land Trust has an Eagle cam on a nest located on private property in an undisclosed area since eagles can be quite sensitive to human activity while nesting. The First Eaglet HH3 hatched on 12/26/2021 and Second Eaglet HH4 hatched on 12/27/2021. Watch the live action and read more about this nest in cooperation with the Hilton Head Island Land Trust
During the Fall of 2014, a pair of Great Horned Owls began frequenting an abandoned Bald Eagle nest adjacent to a protected, nutrient-rich salt marsh at The Landings, on Skidaway Island, near Savannah, Georgia. A pair of owls successfully fledged four owlets from the site in 2015 and 2016, but they did not return to breed in 2017. An Osprey pair has nested at this site since then, but change is afoot as the 2022 breeding season gets underway and the nest site returns to the owls! You can keep up with the Great Horned Owls all through nesting season on this live-streamed camera feed from Cornell Lab and Skidaway Audubon. Watch the live action here.
If this hasn’t given you enough bird cams. Cornell Lab has more cameras of nests and feeding stations for various birds. You can find a complete list with links at their All Camera site.
