Eagle Dad brings first breakfast for eaglets | Dade County Eagle | Jan 12, 2026

Wildlife Rescue of Dade County Eagle Nest Cam Live -    • Wildlife Rescue of Dade County Eagle Nest Cam   Top Cam Live -    • Wildlife Rescue of Dade County Eagle Nest ...   Ron and Rita nested in the Miami-Dade area since 2016. Sadly, in Nov 2022, Rita was severely injured and lost part of her wing. She couldn't be returned to the wild and is now an education ambassador at the Marathon Wild Bird Center located within the Crane Point Hammock Museum and Nature Center in the Florida Keys. She is being lovingly cared for in her new habitat. Visitors are welcome. Ron stayed at the nest, and on 12-20-22, a new female arrived. Ron and Rita were named after Ron Magill, Communications Director for ZooMiami, and his lovely wife, Rita. Lloyd Brown named Ron's new mate Rose to continue the "R" nest legacy. The original nest was built 95 ft up in an Australian Pine. It collapsed in spring 2021 after a heavy storm, dropping 2 eaglets to the ground. On 03/13/21, Lloyd Brown from Wildlife Rescue of Dade County and Ron Magill from ZooMiami rescued one of the eaglets but, sadly, the other did not survive. The survivor, #98, had surgery to repair a broken wing. She was rehabilitated at Wildlife Rescue of Dade County and released near Everglades National Park on 08/21/21. Brown and Magill obtained permission from US Fish and Wildlife (USFWS) to install the secure platform for the eagles, out of concern that the pair would try to rebuild the old nest, only to have it fail again. USFWS granted approval for the installation of the platform and cameras. The Nest Cam is made possible by a partnership between Wildlife Rescue of Date County, ZooMiami, and Ron Magill with the generous support of his Ron Magill Conservation Endowment, and your donations to those organizations. Two state of the art, high-definition cameras were installed by Daniel Montanez, founder of Modern Day Tech Solutions, and sound capability was added for the 2023 season. The 5 ft diameter wooden Papasan chair has been replaced by an industrial grade PVC base, successfully used in other eagle nests. It is lined with plastic mesh for airflow and drainage. Small sticks and dried grasses were added. It is located in the same tree in a stable spot. It is braced with 2x4s between the trunk and a few sturdy branches. Inspection and maintenance is conducted in the off season. The location is being kept private for the protection of the eagles. It is the first nest to be monitored with cameras in Dade County. We kindly ask that anyone in the local community who knows the location, please don't disclose your proximity or make references that may reveal the location on social media, as we work together to protect the eagles and nest area. Rita was banded as a pre-fledge juvenile on 03/16/ 2011, when she and her sibling fell, uninjured, from their nest in Everglades National Park. As it was a safe location, the eaglets were left on site and raised by their parents. We estimate she hatched in Jan 2011. She will be 15 yrs old in Jan 2026. Ron is unbanded, but photo comparisons and his behavior lead us to believe he is the same male that partnered with Rita when they were first seen. Rose was considered a sub-adult eagle with an estimated age of 4+ years. She had not yet developed the full white head and tail of an adult. Your support of these eagles and other wildlife is greatly appreciated. To donate to Wildlife Rescue of Dade County: http://www.dadewildlif...
