Snow At Berry College Bald Eagle Nest, Screen Captures of the Northeast and Southwest Florida Bald Eagle Nests, Bald Eagles KE and Camellia Check In

It was another snowy day at the Berry College Bald Eagle nest.

This is the scene tonight. Raising a Bald Eagle family takes such commitment!

There is some side-by-side preening happening in the Northeast Florida nest. The Center for Conservation Biology explained preening in one of their posts. You can see it here.

Little E4 is looking quite a bit different from a week ago, with a lot of darker contour feathers growing in. It's interesting that you can make a pretty good guess about which babies are males and which are females: Males are typically smaller, so they become adult size when they are smaller/younger and then their energy can go towards growing feathers at a younger age. Females need to keep putting energy into growing and their adult feathers will come in later. For example: If you have a nest with two babies, and the younger starts growing contour feathers first, you can guess that the first hatched is a female and the second is a male... Growing is hard work, and the youngsters spend a lot of time in pancake mode. Here's a look at E4 being a pancake:

Bald Eagle KE has checked in a couple of times. On her January 30th check-in, she was in central Virginia. On her February 6th check-in, she had explored a few more areas.

Bald Eagle Camellia has also checked in. I'm so glad his transmitter is still working!
