Eagle Watch 2014

Hey Everyone,

American Bald Eagles were removed from the
endangered species list in 2007!

Berry College in Floyd County is very fortunate to house the only live video stream of nesting bald eagles in the state of Georgia.  This is the second successful nesting season for the pair with an eaglet named B3 capturing the attention of many.

The 2014 nesting season is at its peak according to a recent article posted by National Geographic.  The article features Berry's eagle cam as one of five to watch across the nation.

B3 is growing rapidly and according to the Bald Eagle Facts below the nest cam, will gain approximately 1 pound every four or five days.  By six weeks of age, B3 should be close in size to his parents.

Not only is this an environmental success story but such an honor to witness these magnificent birds in action.  Even though removed from the endangered species list, life is still an uphill battle for them.    

I have placed a link to the nest cam below for those who want to enjoy.  We have so many children in the garden and this is quite educational to view.  Vicki originally sent the link to me and B3 has been part of my daily routine ever since.

I have also placed a link to the National Geographic write up with the links to other cams containing eaglets to watch as well.  The Florida nest has an eaglet very close to fledging.
