Just down the road from me a bit is an absolutely gorgeous old southern college, called Berry College. It has a wonderful history, but what I wanted to point out to you was the American Eagle cam they they have streaming live. We very nearly lost our American Eagle population, but thanks to conservationists, they are making a comeback. There is a new baby eaglet and one egg which should be hatching very soon. Just some news from my little part of the world.

I have been watching B3 since she was first posted here at Cuties. I love that little bird :) I found some videos of her on youtube. Her first flight and one of her parents watching/waiting for her in the nest was too cute. Then, there was the video of her coming back to the nest after her first flight. She came in with a bang! I check on her several times thruout the day. They changed the approach camera angle today, so possibly we can see B3 flying in or out.

She has fledged. It will be a few more days before she leaves permanently, but she's ventured out. This was her second flight and if you have facebook, you can go to the Berry College page and watch the recorded flight. It's been spectacular watching and learning from you B3. Be safe!

Thanks Jerilyn. I have been checking in every day since I read your post. Yesterday I couldn't leave for a long time. I was fascinated with the way the little one was fed. Haven't seen both of the parents at the same time yet. Love watching the progress. Awesome!!!!

I have loved watching the Eagles! The second egg, they have decided, won't be hatching and it's gone now from the next. Thank you so much for sharing this!!

Update from this morning 26Feb.2014
Good morning, eagleholics!
It has turned cold again in Georgia with a low tonight expected about 19 degrees. Meanwhile, our little eaglet continues to feed and grow in a noticeable way!
Many of you are concerned about the second egg. It is starting to look doubtful that it will hatch. Our experts will make a determination on Friday and we will let you know. Even if the egg doesn't hatch, the parents will likely continue to sit on it until it disintegrates. It is not unusual for an egg to fail to hatch--it's very common throughout the bird population. It happens for various reasons and we will never know for sure.

Well, it's 5:56 a.m. at your end (10:56 a.m. here in UK) and they are both still fast asleep! Obviously they like their lay-ins in the USA! Bit of a breeze there at the moment ruffling his/her feathers.

Almost 8AM and she's sitting there patiently getting rained upon. Maybe the wee one kept her up last night with feeding every 2 hours. Remember that?

The web cam is wonderful! I do not know about Berry College as I am a Tennessee girl transplanted to Georgia 40 years ago. My son-in law's middle name is Berry and when I asked my daughter about it, she said the Berry College Berry. Maybe I should ask more questions as what is the connection. I know his parents meet at Emory at Oxford which is only a few miles from me and a delightfully beautiful campus. They are Georgia people on both sides. Kay

There may be quite a family history there with the Berry's. You will have to fill us in.

Our great niece graduated from Berry a year ago! Lovely college. My hubby was born in that town. Tks for posting the link! I'll have to have him look at it too!! The bald eagle is making a good comeback. Tks to colleges like Berry and the Eagle group connected to Dollywood. We actually saw one fly across Alcoa Hwy last year, right in front of us. I couldn't believe it!

All creatures great and small...sleep peacefully while God watches over all. I've never seen anything like this before. It appears the nesting one is asleep too.

They do sleep. It almost flattens out over the egg and eaglet.

Right now, 10.11a.m. Tuesday Feb 25, Sth Aust. time, one parent is pulling off small pieces of meat and trying to feed the chick. It is absolutely delightful. I think it might be the father and he is being so gentle and careful. The unhatched egg is just behind the chick and both are being protected by the mother.
Thank you for letting me share this time of joy.

It's been on and off most of the morning here. They are aware as I see they have posted about this.

cfidl by cfidl 24 Feb 2014

Thanks dennis - back on! yeah!

cfidl by cfidl 24 Feb 2014

Is that the Dad in the nest?

cfidl by cfidl 24 Feb 2014

It is the male. The female has a black spot on her tail. I think she is larger than he is.

jrob by jrob 24 Feb 2014

It's going now, but if it goes out permanently, it won't be fixed until the babies fledge.

jrob by jrob 24 Feb 2014

The second egg has not hatched as of 3:24PM EDT

It is a good thing those little ones have two parents. I didn't see the one this night getting hardly any sleep at all.
This is really cool thanks for the link.
I sent it to our Scout leader at church so he could get the boys to watch.

Oh, this is fantastic!! I know it's night, and she was sitting so quietly, but then she decided to clean her wing and I got a peek at the chick!! And there also seems to be another egg, wonder when it will hatch? Well, if I'm not here, you'll know where I'll be.....

She's been trying to get that little stinker to be still and go to sleep for an hour. I'm not sure that she isn't just holding him down now. I saw her put her neck over him once, but he slipped right out.

marjialexa by marjialexa 23 Feb 2014

I noticed, for nightime, he's very active! I figured he'd be asleep, I'm sure he must have been fed, think a full tummy would make him drowsy. Unless he's ready for "seconds", hee hee hee. You can see momma just wants to sleep.

Just watched some more. It's night now over there and one of the adults (probably mum) is sitting. She is constantly awake, surveying the scene around her, listening to every sound, I suspect. Beautiful bird.

I watched her feed the baby this afternoon. Mike said he thought she caught a mouse, but I preferred to think it was a grub worm or that she ran to the local grocer for supplies.

The only problem is that I'm going to be up all night waiting for the second egg to hatch.
