Eagle Cam Back Online Soon!
|
 As our Eagle Cam fans know, several months ago we lost our raptor cam computer when construction at the Blackwater NWR Visitor Center allowed water to get into our computer room. Since that time, we've been working to get a new PC and get a new cam installed at our Eagle Cam tree. We're excited to announce that we're close to going live. Be sure to visit our website for the latest update. |

Remember the Friends of Blackwater
|
 If you're planning your end-of-year giving, don't forget the Friends of Blackwater NWR. You can donate to the Friends or become a member. The Friends do many wonderful things at the Refuge such as run the Eagle and Osprey Cams, help maintain all the land and paddling trails, assist with the student environmental education programs, run the Eagle's Nest Bookstore, maintain the Butterfly Garden and the Natural History Library, and many other activities. So be sure to think of us when donating to your favorite charities. |
