Route 44 eagles on the Caltrans Eagle Cam
The Caltrans Eagle Cam is no longer able to get a signal to the web. We apologize for the disruption in service. Discussions are currently being held regarding the camera and public feed for next breeding season. The current camera was put in place to monitor the birds during construction and the effects it may have on them. Caltrans was fortunate to be able to make the video public, but the original system was not designed for that purpose. Regulatory agencies also have restrictions on when Caltrans can have access to the camera and related equipment or perform work near the nest that may disturb the eagles. With that in mind, officials are meeting and discussing a better and more reliable system for not only the required monitoring, but for public viewing as well. We'll post more information as it becomes available. To see recent still photos of the eagles, go to the Caltrans website.
