“We could see the nest from almost a mile away, but you couldn’t see into the nest. One year there were chicks before a storm, and after a storm, nobody. We just wanted to see what was going on inside that nest,” Steers said. In 2016, Ricky and Lucy left the area.

Five of Jackie’s chicks have hatched and three survived to fledging.

“They are wild animals, we don’t intrude. The eagles know how to have a nest without a canopy on it,” Steers said, laughing. The cameras, livestream, newsletters and live chats on Facebook and YouTube are also supported by a devoted group of 10 volunteers around the world who take shifts monitoring and documenting the nest 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
