Berry College Eagles Nestorations, Northeast Florida Approach Cam, White-bellied Sea Eagles Day 91 SE15 Transfers To A Zoo, Bald Eagle HK, Bald Eagle's Big Catch

The Berry College Eagles have brought a lot of pine needles to their nest. It looks like it is ready for eggs already! In past nesting seasons, Mom has had a terrible limp. I've noticed that her left leg looks like it has been broken and has now healed out of alighment. She doesn't limp on it any more. It may still hurt, but she seems to be able to use it just fine. Look at the weird bend in her left leg.

They make such a pretty pair! And look at all the soft pine needles! They are still bringing more sticks and pine needles to the nest. Today, I saw them each bring a big wad of pine needles and Dad brought a huge stick.

I was hoping to see the Northeast Florida Eagles, but nobody was there while I was watching. But look at the beautiful scene on the approach cam! And that nest looks huge!

The White-bellied Sea Eaglet SE15 was taken to a nearby zoo, where he will continue to recieve care from their veterinarians. Here's a video. He has been eating well and getting fluids. He has gotten antibiotics and an antifungal as a precaution. He will be quarantined until his blood work comes back, then he will go into some appropriate housing. He is in good hands.

Pam Monahan has a new blog post of Bald Eagle HK. He is a beauty!

Check out this Bald Eagle's big catch and swim to shore. (Warning, there's an f-bomb at 2:37, after the Eagle makes it to shore. So you can stop before it gets to that point and not miss anything.)
