If you click on the slide shows in the lower left, you can see right into the nest! This will be AWESOME!

Last season we were dealing with a dead spider on the lens
for the last 1/2 of the eaglets growing period which blocked alot of the views.

I am soooo excited!

On the blog there at WVEC is this link to a photographer at the Gardens who often posts his pictures of the eagles.

This link has some stunning pictures and some of just other nature subjects. All are copyrighted, and you cannot copy them off. But they are wonderful to look at and enjoy:

There is a huge blizzard today at Norfolk!

Good thing the eggs haven't started yet!

Normally they don't get weather like this. I spoke on their chat one time to a local resident, and he said the weather is typically moderate.

Last year there was some snow, at Blackwater, and I have pictures saved of that. The eggs there were already hatched, and the nest survived ! But in Maine 2 years ago, a nest was lost, during a terrible storm, and the new chicks there died as a result.

Here is the link to the Blackwater cam....

Both eagles there are trying to keep their eggs warm:

Lots of snow, etc.

The blog at Norfolk explains how eagles can manage to stay warm with snow on their backs even! Their feathers are highly insulating.
