This camera project would not have been possible without the major support of: OG&E, OneNet, Atlas Broadband, OU College of Arts and Sciences, University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma Biological Survey. Additional support provided by: Newfield Foundation, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, The John Steele Zink Foundation, and individual donors.
21 June: We have equipped two young Bald Eagles with satellite transmitters so we can follow their movements after fledging. Visit our tracking page at http://www.suttoncenter.org/pages/eagle_tracking or use the link to the left.
5 May: On the morning of May 4, the Sutton Center first became aware that the second eagle chick was absent from the nest. We traveled to the nest area... (Read More).
To view a photo of the first chick shortly after hatching, and for additional information about nesting Bald Eagles and a summary of recent nest activity, click here.
The Sutton Avian Research Center is dedicated to finding cooperative conservation solutions
for birds and the natural world through science and education, and is a part of the Oklahoma Biological Survey at the University of Oklahoma.
This nest is near OG&E property at Sooner Lake north of Stillwater, Oklahoma. Our Bald Eagle nest cam provides an intimate view of a wild Oklahoma Bald Eagle nest. Children and adults from Oklahoma and around the world can observe life in an eagle nest, and scientists can make observations that will help us better understand the life history of our national symbol.
The video image may at times be unavailable due to technical problems or heavy user demand. We monitor the camera daily and try to keep it working, but outages do occur.

Comment: The eagles build up walls..did you see them year before last? They did good..across the nest and on the bars. I know..I worry about that myself. But originally, eagles had a nest in old dead tree in water.

Comment: I think the eagles "placed" the limb there; I just think it got moved around when work was being done to the cameras-I watched the male try over and over again to gnaw the end of it when he realized he couldn't budge it!

Comment: Hi Nancy - what makes you think the stick was placed there by humans? Did I miss that comment? If so, I apologize. I didnt' think anyone would carry a stick out there on a boat and climb up to put it in the nest...

Comment: cont... shouldn't be a problem for them to move it and build around it again this year. I know it looks huge to us, but it may be a major part of their nest structure. Let's wait and see...

Comment: I think we can stop worrying about the big stick. Here's what I'm thinking - there are only a couple of ways it could have gotten there; from a nearby dead tree, but I don't see one, or from an eagle putting it there, in which case it shouldn't be a p

Comment: Nest if close to Stillwater. Good to hear your back. Some of us have seen eagles around, mostly in the family tree. Hope they build on the tower this year. That big stick looks like it is in way.
