Bald Eagle HE Possibly Dead, Berry College Eagles First Egg, The Center For Conservation Biology Article, Bald Eagle Shaking To Arrange Feathers

There is word that Bald Eagle HE, Dad Norfolk's mate and mother of one eaglet last year, has been found dead. I haven't found any sources other than two blog posts for this. I'm still looking for confirmation...

Berry College Bald Eagles have their first egg! Last year, they laid their first egg on the 6th... Here we can see the egg for the first time:

Here's a video of the big event. Something rare in this video, we can hear Mom vocalize as she pushes to lay the egg. Here's the video: Mom Vocalizes During The Laying Of The First Egg (8:44):

The Center for Conservation Biology has published an article by Dr. Bryan Watts: Eagles Rarely Gamble During The Breeding Season.

Bald Eagles will shake like a dog to settle their feathers into place. Check out this GIF of a Bald Eagle shaking created by Rhoda Gerig.
