One of North America’s most majestic animals is now on display on a live webcam again, thanks to a partnership between the Missouri Department of Conservation and the City of Blue Springs, Missouri.A nesting bald eagle pair can now be viewed on a live feed from a site in the Kansas City metro area. The webcam debuted in March 2025. Officials said they hoped at the time that the nesting pair would produce eggs.Officials said while they did not, they’re back in the nest for 2026 and are ready to give it another go. In the 1950s, only about 3,000 nesting pairs remained in North America. Thanks to conservation efforts, those numbers have swelled to more than 10,000 pairs, including around 200 in Missouri. Eagles’ nests are large, officials said. They reach up to 13 feet deep and eight feet across. Bald eagles typically mate for life, and each pair produces between one to three eggs annually, though rarely do all three chicks reach maturity. The specific location of this nest will not be disclosed to ensure its safety. Bald eagles are a protected species in the United States, and conservation officials ask that the public not seek out the nest or bother the birds in any way.
