Eagle Cam at Dulles Greenway Wetlands

The Eagle Cam gives an unprecedented window into the lives of wildlife through two live-stream 4K cameras installed 100 feet up in a treetop at the site of a Bald Eagle nest located in Loudoun County. Join us in watching the day-to-day lives of wildlife, engage with us through weekly chat sessions or classroom chats for students and get updates by following the nest activity log and social media. The Eagle Cam can also be viewed on the Dulles Greenway website

A Brief History of the Eagle Cam

A mated pair of Bald Eagles resided in this nest for more than 15 years until late 2023. Since then, dozens of eagles of all ages, along with a myriad of other birds, have visited the nest. We look forward to having another mated pair of Bald Eagles take up residence.

In September 2021, Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy partnered with the Dulles Greenway to install two live-stream cameras at the Bald Eagle nest in the Dulles Greenway Wetlands in Leesburg, Virginia.

Our work with the Dulles Greenway started in 1997,  just two years after the wetlands were established. During the construction of the Dulles Greenway roadway, TRIP II established a private 149-acre wetlands preserve in Leesburg, Virginia to mitigate the loss of roughly 64 acres of federally protected wetlands. Loudoun Wildlife helps manage the wetlands property, and we use it to educate people about local wildlife and wetland habitats. Wetlands shelter more than one-third of threatened and endangered species in the United States, including the once-endangered Bald Eagles.

Volunteer

Eagle Cam volunteers share the awe and wonder of eagles and other wildlife with our community and students through remotely operating one of the cameras, moderating chat sessions, engaging students during class chats and providing updates through social media.
