Avon Lake Bald Eagle Nest Cam

A Front-Row Seat at the Nest

This camera offers an up-close view of a massive bald eagle nest, built from interwoven branches and lined with softer material high in the crown of a mature tree. Eagles return to the same nest year after year, adding new material each season until the structure grows to enormous proportions.

Lake Erie's Wild Shoreline

Avon Lake sits on the southern shore of Lake Erie, a rich corridor of woodland and wetland that draws abundant wildlife. The mature trees lining the lakefront make ideal nesting platforms for raptors, with open water and shallows nearby supplying fish, the bald eagle's preferred prey.

Eagles of Northern Ohio

The bald eagle is one of conservation's great success stories, rebounding from near-disappearance across much of the United States. Ohio's Lake Erie shoreline now hosts a thriving population, and this nest is part of that remarkable recovery.

What You Might See

Patient viewers may spot adult eagles incubating eggs, delivering fish to hungry eaglets, or standing sentinel over the nest. As the young grow, watch them stretch, flap, and eventually take their first flights from this lofty perch.
