Two Eggs at Berry College Bald Eagle Nest, New S'Caps of the Southwest and Northeast Florida Nests

Two eggs at the Berry College nest! I'm so excited. I first looked in on the nest and momma had her head tucked in while incubating:

I wanted to see if she had laid a second egg. It was going to be today if she was going to do it. She finally got up and ta-da! Two eggs! I'm so egg-cited!

She did an egg roll. I explained the egg roll yesterday. You can see the eggs are sitting differently now.

Here's a s'cap of the Southwest Florida nest. They are reporting that the little one got a good meal today. You can see one of the babies passed out around the 10:00 position. The temps are pretty moderate in Florida tonight.

And here's a s'cap of the Northeast Florida nest. Just babies passed out. No worries. After a couple of weeks, the babies are able to thermoregulate and if temps are moderate, the Eagle parents will often spend the night on a branch keeping watch.
