Eagle Nest Cam On Hilton Head Island
The Eagles Have Landed!
Check out Hilton Head Island’s first and only live stream eagle camera – hhilandtrust.org/eagle-cam. The camera is a joint partnership between the Hilton Head Island Land Trust, Russell P. Patterson, P.A., and Hargray Communications. Be sure to participate in the Land Trust’s Name the Eagles competition!
This nest is in an undisclosed location on private property on Hilton Head Island. The eagles have been nesting here for the past four years. In 2020, the eagles had a successful mating season with two eaglets fledging. If 2021 is another successful mating season, the eagles will lay their eggs in early to mid-December. Keep watching the webcam to see this eagle family grow!
