Watch eagle chick grow up online
Cascade and Lady Odell, a
charming bald eagle pair from
Deschutes National Forest,
celebrated spring this year by
hatching a new chick, Pengra
Cascade Odell. The chick was
first observed in mid-May on
the U.S. Forest Service’s Eagle
Cam, which streams live video
of the majestic birds in and
around their nest.
Pengra’s development, from
fledgling to flight, can be
watched on a display at the
Oregon Zoo’s Great Northwest
exhibit or online at the Forest
Service’s NatureWatch Web
site: www.fs.fed.us/outdoors/
naturewatch/eaglecam.html.
Cascade and Lady braved
this year’s late snow and cold
weather to produce Pengra,
the pair’s first successful hatch
since 2006. The chick emerged
from its egg May 15.
Eaglets are completely de-
pendent on their parents for
several months, requiring food,
warmth and protection from
predators. Pengra recently be-
gan eating without help, from
fish delivered by Mom and
Dad, and could begin flying
within two to four weeks.
The Eagle Cam was placed
as part of a cooperative project
to bring live-streaming video of
wild eagles and salmon to the
Web and to the zoo, where ea-
gles and salmon are on exhibit.
The videos aim to raise aware-
ness, appreciation and under-
standing of wildlife’s connec-
tions to ecosystems, land-
scapes and people.
