Harriet first paired with an eagle named Ozzie who unfortunately passed away in 2015. After looking for suitors, Harriet paired with M15, and the couple raised their first brood in Jan. 2016. Now the pair is embarking on their journey again with two new eggs. The eggs for the fifth season were laid on Nov. 22, 2016, and Nov. 25, 2016. All eyes are on the cam as they are expected to hatch at any moment.

It is against Florida law to disturb eagles or their nests. Due to that law, the live streaming eagle cam is a look at life in the wild. If an eagle is under attack, you will see the live stream from one of the three cams set up on the property. Dick Pritchett advises people to watch the eagle cam streaming live online from their homes, or through their mobile devices. It isn’t recommended to try and view the nests in person. The cams are situated in a premium location and will give the best view to viewers. The Southwest Florida eagle cam gives a look into the daily lives of eagles you otherwise would not see. Also, those who attempt to see the nests in person will be recorded, so it is best to appreciate the efforts Pritchett has invested in providing the live stream for millions of people to see, free of charge, 24/7.
