Berry College Bald Eagle Nest: Pip In Second Egg!, An Update For Bald Eagle HK, and The Final Transmitter Report For Bald Eagle Camellia

The fun part of the adventure has started at Berry College. Look at that 1-day old cutie. This was during a feeding and its attention was on the parent. A pip is visible in the second egg. Last year, the second egg didn't hatch. So, I'm excited to see two chicks grow in this nest and pray that they don't have any problems. The egg shell from yesterday is gone, either removed or eaten by the parents. The pip in the second egg is toward the top of the egg:

This late at night, Mom is asleep... Sometimes she tucks her head under her wing and sometimes it's face-plant mode. I don't know what prompts the different positions or if it is random. It looks like there is a food item to the left. Once a chick has hatched, Dad is driven to provide food, food, food! Get ready to see a lot of nestovers laying around.

I'm happy to find that Pam Monahan is making regular visits to Honey Bee Golf Course to check on Bald Eagle HK and his lady Sterling. Here's a link to her latest post. She is doing a fantastic job of documenting this pair. I haven't seen HK's nest in a while -- it is pretty impressive!

Reese recently reported that Bald Eagle Camellia's transmitter has finally stopper reporting his location. Here is Reese's post with some interesting facts about Camellia.
