I found this nest a while ago, but didn't post til I was sure there was going to be something to watch.
Denton Homes Iowa Here is a bit of the info, but there is a lot more. Denton Homes Iowa is a custom home building company located in the middle of the heartland. We have several developments and parcels of land in our portfolio. This is not the only eagle nest on our properties, but this is the only one with a live cam. Meet The Majestics.
We’ve have been watching this pair for a couple of years now. Along the way we’ve talked to many people who have been watching them for much longer. While we did not see them build this nest, we do know that is it is large. Our measurements are 10ft x 8ft and about 6ft deep and we’re confident the measurements are accurate. Based on the numbers of how much is added to the nest per year, we believe this is the 6th or 7th year for the nest and for this eagle pair.
The nest is located just west of Des Moines in central Iowa on one of our properties. There is a creek that winds its way through the wooded area just below the nest. Lots of woodland animals, including deer are sometimes seen in camera view. The Majestics fish in the two large bodies of water nearby.
There is occasionally audio on the live stream. It’s windy on the prairie, so it’s necessary to keep the audio off at times. The best times for audio are early weekend mornings.
