Still No Hatch at Berry College Bald Eagle Nest, Bald Eagle Buddy Update!, Bald Eagle Camellia Location, Pam Monahan's Observations of Bald Eagle HK

Still waiting on a hatch at the Berry College Bald Eagle nest. It's 9:30PM and there are currently 6,400 people looking at the cam. Looking at this:

We are all waiting on that too brief glimpse of eggs, straining to see anything that might be a pip or a crack... And we wait... Something interesting being reported: Berry College personnel have found a 2nd Bald Eagle nest on campus, about 7 miles away from the nest that's on camera. I'm not sure if it's a second nest for this pair or if there is another Bald Eagle pair. Click this link to see a picture.

Finally, an update on Bald Eagle Buddy!!! He's had his annual physical exam and everything looks good. They comment that he is truly an adult Bald Eagle now. With this being mating season, it's possible for him to exhibit some behaviors due to hormones. See the video included at this link... And read about his latest exam at the same link.

Bald Eagle Camellia checked in on 2/18. He actually came to my neck of the woods. He also checked in again on 2/20. And he's still here. I'm hoping he sticks around! I plan to look for him this weekend!

Pam Monahan has put up some posts regarding her observations of Bald Eagle HK. Her post about her 2/8 visit made me laugh, between HK's bad landing and all the pictures that made me think, "Boing!" Her 2/10 visit shows HK bringing soft grass to his nest while some snow falls. I love seeing him bringing in soft grass, the finishing touch (dare I say it?) when preparing for eggs! On 2/11, Pam caught HK doing some nest work and some nice interactions between him and his lady friend. He's proving to be a good provider. On Valentine's Day, Pam got some great pictures of HK doing some more nest work. And once again one of her pictures made me laugh! Then on 2/18, HK was a little less cooperative. But Pam persevered and got some pictures. Thanks Pam!
