WHYCHUS CREEK GOLDEN EAGLE CAM
Located several miles east of Sisters, Oregon on the Whychus Creek Canyon, this Eagle Cam was the brainchild of Janet Zuelke and Forrest Babcock, who, at the time, owned the property across the canyon from the nest. They built a gazebo to house the equipment, and engineered the optical system that is able to capture images from 1200 or so feet across the canyon, and beam them out to the internet.
The land that the nest is on is owned by the Deschutes Land Trust and is managed as a wildlife preserve called Aspen Hollow Preserve. East Cascades Audubon Society funds the eagle cam with operation and maintenance provided by volunteers Jim Hammond (optics, camera control, website, eaglet rescue), Leslie Lawrence (current owner of camera site), and Anthony Kay (technical support).
Please help support the Golden Eagle camera! To make a donation towards the substantial cost of getting these images on the internet, please click on the ECAS logo on this page or the "Donate" page.
