Speaking of The Wildlife Center of Virginia, there is a March 15th update on the juvenile Bald Eagle from the Eastern Shore that is recovering from lead poisoning.
Big news. One of the eaglets at the Alcoa nest hatched this afternoon!

I've found another Bald Eagle cam to follow. The Minnesota Bound eagle cam is currently incubating. I saw two eggs, but don't know if there are more...

Rhoda Gerig (RFG) added more pictures to her site of the Bald Eagle nest that she watches. Here's a link to those pics on her site. It's a sequence of one of the adults bringing some soft nesting material into the nest. The mate is laying down in the nest.
Sam Maggio (DegasGoneDigital) has added a couple of pictures of a Great Egret to his site. It is in breeding plumage and is beautiful!
Ron Dudley (Feathered Photography) has posted some pictures at a pond where he goes to photograph wildlife and where others go to fish. He says there is a lot of discarded fishing line and hooks that are causing problems for the birds there -- and his pictures tell the story. If you know someone who enjoys fishing, please share the story of these birds and encourage people to fish responsibly! Take a look at his other posts as well. His site is quickly becoming one of my favorites! He doesn't just post pictures. He relates the behavior of the birds, points out photography tips, points out the nuances of his different subjects... This is just a great site. And he has a new post just about every day. This is a great site to follow!
And in the news, here's a story about a really neat program in Arizona. People spend four months camped out (really, camped out) observing Bald Eagle nests. Read about it here. I would get involved with a program like this!
