Eagle Cam is up and running

McLEOD COUNTY, MN – Forget reality TV. For a bird’s eye view of drama and suspense, check out the McLeod County eagle cam footage on the Minnesota Bound website, http://www.mnbound.com/live-eagle-cam/

Mark Wegscheid of Broadband Corp. installed the solar-powered camera a few days ago, positioning it 75 feet in the air next to a nesting site south of Hutchinson.

At the moment, the live feed just shows sticks and snow, but it won’t stay that way for long.

This photo from the eagle cam shows baby eagles in spring 2012.

Look for the full story in the Feb. 25 Herald Journal.
