:1wavingsnowgirl: Reset this morning. Per chat, Pa to left branch at 7:17 for shift change. Female returns with a stick at 8:25 and another shift change. Pa returned with a stick at 9:04 and backed up on the female. Another shift change.

At 10:12, Pa continues to incubate the eggs. A small bird called out at 10:45 and landed on the side of the outer front, rails, then flew down and caused one of the sticks on the rails to shift and Pa raised up and did a smack down.

:1wavingsnowgirl: At 6:51 this morning the female was incubating and asleep with her head tucked. She was vocal and got up at 8:25, then backed up to the rails between the right branches. Pa arrived at 8:26 and the female flew across the nest and out the left side and toward the rear, then vocal in the distance. Pa went down onto the nest grabbing the fluff from the left branch the female had left yesterday. Then to the bowl and rolled the eggs and settled and brought fluff closer to himself. At 10:05, you could see the female fly to a tree in the rear from the right and then she was vocal. Pa alerted in response. Did not catch when she left that tree, but at 10:35, you could see the female fly behind the nest from right to left. Pa got up and backed out of the bowl and the female landed on the left branch. Pa was vocal and flew at 10:36 to the left, then toward the rear. The female went down to the nest leaving a load of fluff she had flown in with draped on the left branch. She rolled one of the eggs, then settled over both of them.

:1wavingsnowgirl: At 7:02 this morning, the female is incubating the eggs. She got up and off the eggs at 7:15, backed up and preened. A minute later she was vocal and Pa responded in the distance. She rolled the eggs, aerated, settled, brought a little fluff closer to herself. The rains continue. Pa to the left branch at 7:52 and the female was vocal. He went down onto the nest, picked up a little fluff in his beak and placed it near the female. The female got up at 7:53 and went to the front rails. Pa looked at the eggs for a bit and the female flew out between the two right branches. Pa got into the bowl and rolled the eggs, settled, brought one piece of fluff closer to himself. At 9:17, the female was vocal in the distance. Pa turned in response and looked toward the rear. Then Pa continued to incubate the eggs.

:1wavingsnowgirl: First shift change was at 7:37 this morning per chat. When I came in at 7:54, Pa was still on egg duty. At 8:42, you could see the female flying from the rear past the left side of the nest and apparently circled back around the front of the nest and landed on the left branch with a fluff delivery. Pa got off the eggs and flew out between the two right branches.

Female down to the eggs, rolled, aerated, settled, brought fluff forward. Female up at 9:48 and aerated the bowl. She turned to the left and reached over and pulled out a pelt from under the fluff pile and took to the front of the nest and ate. At 9:52, she finished eating and went back to the eggs and settled and brought fluff toward herself. Pa returned with a stick at 10:24 flying in from between the two right branches and placed it to the right rails. Then he backed up and onto the female. She was lightly vocal and got out of the bowl and while walking toward the front of the nest, she stepped on the remains of the pelt from earlier. She began to eat, de-fur for a bit, eat. Pa flew at 10:28 toward the left and the female stopped eating to see where he went, then resumed. At 10:32, she downed the rest of the pelt. She picked up Pa's newest stick he placed and moved it out slightly. Then to the bowl to aerate. She stopped at 10:34 and moved to the rear of the nest. Pa returned with another stick at 10:35 that he placed to the left rails. Pa moved another stick to the front rails. She flew out to the left, then toward the rear.

Pa watched her leave, adjusted the stick, then to the bowl and rolled the eggs, settled, brought fluff forward. At 11:02, Pa reached over and moved his stick she had moved out earlier. The female returned to the left branch at 11:44 and Pa was vocal. The female was lightly vocal at intervals and Pa responded. At 11:48, the female eased down the left branch and spread fluff already on the floor. She picked up a small hunk of it with her beak and walked off the branch onto the nest and placed it near Pa. He got up and flew out the left of the nest at 11:49 for the day.

She watched to see where he went, then settled over the bowl and brought fluff closer. She continued incubation through the afternoon and for the most part made single calls for Pa through out the afternoon and early evening at 2:44, 5:16, 5:38, 5:43, 5:53, and 5:55 several calls without any responses from Pa. And possibly others that I didn't catch. Pa did not show up to relieve her before her night incubation. Rocky was seen scampering up a branch at 7:39 that woke her and she tracked him above on a branch then down another, but he did not come onto the nest. The female has changed positions and rolled her eggs several times through out the afternoon and evening. At 1:50 am something startled her awake and she stood up in the bowl and threw her wings out a little. From the approach cam same incident is at 1:52 and something dropped from under the left side of the nest when her head popped up. She went back to sleep with her head tucked at 1:57 and continues to sleep at 2:24 am as I leave.

:1wavingsnowgirl: From Berry Eagle FB:

Berry College Eagles
4 hrs ·
This rainy Monday morning, we wanted to take a moment and answer some of the most common questions we've gotten recently.
Q: Is this a new eagle pair?
A: The current resident female is new; the original resident female was most recently spotted at Lake Guntersville in Alabama in December. Our eagle experts believe the male is the same resident male eagle we know and love.
Q: Will you name the new female?
A: We have a policy of not naming the eagles. They are wild animals and we do not wish to personalize them.
Q: How many eggs are there? When will they hatch?
A: Two eggs have been laid at the nest. The first egg was laid on January 1st; the second on January 4th. Bald eagles typically incubate eggs for between 34-36 days. If the Berry eagles follow this window, we may see the eggs hatch somewhere between February 4th and February 9th (this is only an estimate).

:1wavingsnowgirl: At 6:41 this morning, the female remains on egg duty. She was slightly vocal at 7:05 as she changed positions. Pa arrived to the nest at 7:26 and picks at stray sticks on the floor. She got up and was lightly vocal. Pa to the bowl and rolled the eggs. At 7:28, the female flew out to the left, then toward the rear. Pa settled and brought fluff forward. A sparse rain is coming down.

:1wavingsnowgirl: Female remains on egg duty at 5:52 this morning. She was vocal at 7:23 and Pa arrived to the left nest with a stick that has one pinecone attached. He went to the right rails to place. The female got up and off the eggs onto the nest and flapped her wings several times, then flew at 7:24. Pa to the bowl, rolled one of the eggs, settled, then brought fluff closer in.

:1val: Pa to the nest at 7:20 this morning. The female was vocal and he responded. She got up and off the eggs at 7:21. Pa to the bowl. She flew. Pa rolled the eggs, settled, brought fluff toward himself. At 9:50, Pa up and off the eggs, flapped his wings several times while standing on the nest, then flew out.

Female to the left branch alerting seconds later, down to the bowl, rolled one egg, aerated, settled. At 11:30, she got off the eggs and went up to the left branch was vocal and flew. Could hear Pa's vocals prior to her leaving, but could not see him on cam.

At 11:31, saw an eagle fly to the left of nest as if it might fly to the rear, but instead it flew up and circled back and out of sight. Pa landed on the left branch at 11:31 and down to the eggs to roll, settled, brought fluff to himself. He changed positions and tended to the eggs throughout the afternoon. He got off the eggs at 3:14 and onto the left nest floor, then flew out across the nest and between the 2 right branches.

At 3:17, saw part of an eagle wing hit the side of the left front nest, then seconds later the female landed on the left rails from between the 2 left branches in an unstable manner. She went to the bowl and settled over the eggs and kept tilting her head to look upward and around. From reviewing the AC of the event, the female had flown toward the nest and may have tried to land near the front of it, but came up short and went to a lower left branch than what we see from cam 1. Seconds later she flew from here to the left rails making an unstable landing.

She has remained on the nest the rest of this evening changing positions, tending to her eggs and incubating. She is incubating the eggs with her back to us as I leave at midnight.

:1val: Resets this morning and per chat possibly Pa in at 5:04 for a nest exchange and the female returned around 6:00 this morning. At 7:48, the female continues to incubate. Pa returned to the nest at 8:03 with a squirrel and the female was lightly vocal. He stood behind the squirrel and she remained in the bowl. She got up at 8:05 and took the squirrel to the front of the nest and up onto the rails. Pa to the bowl at 8:06 and rolled the eggs and settled. The female finally gets situated and began to de-fur the squirrel at 8:07. She began to eat at 8:12. By 8:16, she has torn and flung out a piece and it was within Pa's reach and he took it and got off the bowl to the left nest and ate. At 8:17, he went to the front of the nest and gleaned for any further bits from the floor, then back to the bowl and rolled the eggs and settled. She continued to eat.

:1val: The AC went down at 3:55 am. There has been a reset already this morning, but Pa was on egg duty when I came in at 9:26. Per chat, he had arrived at 8:21 with food for the female. Snow flurries at the nest started at 10:50 and lasted < 10 minutes. Pa vocal at noon and got up and off the eggs, flapped his wing several times and flew.

:1val: Per chat, Pa arrived this morning for the first nest exchange at 7:20 this morning. Second exchange was at 9:04 with the female returning to the nest with fluff. Then Pa returned with a fluff delivery at 10:11 for the next nest exchange. Found Pa on egg duty at 10:28. He changed positions and tended to the eggs a few times the remainder of the morning and early afternoon. At 2:38, he got up and off the eggs and flapped his wings several times and caught a breeze to the left branch, alerted and flew. Can hear eagle vocals at 2:40 and Pa arrived to the left nest alerting and looking up and around with eagle responses in the background and am assuming it is the female, although not seen. He went to the bowl at 2:42, rolled the eggs and settled, then looked around. The female arrived to the nest at 3:43 with another fluff delivery and Pa got up and off the eggs and to the left branch and flapped his wings and flew seconds later. Female to the bowl, rolled the eggs, settled and adjusted the fluff around her.

:nervous: Pa has been on egg duty and confronted a subadult and wing slapped it off the nest at 8:05 and 8:13 this morning. Pa stepped on one of the eggs during the 1st encounter, but did not strike me as being harmful, but will monitor. Unfortunately, there has been a reset on cams 1 and 2. AC remains down. Will check for YT videos of events and place here when found.

Videos are by J C:

1st encounter

2nd encounter

It has been an exciting morning! An intruder approached the nest not once, but twice, and appeared to do a couple of fly-bys as well. Fortunately the male eagle was quick to protect the eggs, and the next time the eggs were rolled, everything appeared just fine.
Hopefully the rest of the day will be a bit quieter

:1val: The approach cam is back. Came in at 5:29 and found the female on the eggs. Pa arrived to the left rails at 5:40 this morning from between the 2 left branches in an upward manner that made me wonder if he had been perched on one of the lower branches of the nest tree prior to arrival. He went onto the nest and both were vocal. Pa picked at a pinecone on the floor, then aerated. He approached the bowl, but she did not get up. He picked about the bowl rim. She got up at 5:41 and nipped at Pa on his shoulder. Pa got in the bowl at 5:42 and she is standing right beside it. He rolled each egg and settled. She is still standing there and lightly vocal. At 5:44, she backed up onto the right rails and preened, did a crop drop, preened more. At 6:06, she tucked her head and slept. So apparently she nipped him earlier this morning for coming too early. :teehee: She raised her head up at 6:15. At 6:20, she's partially off the rails coming toward Pa and staring at him. She came a little closer to him, but Pa does not budge. After a minute, Pa stood and backed out of the bowl. She went to the bowl and rolled the eggs. She crouched in the bowl and can still see the eggs. Pa picked at the pinecone on the floor, then he went to the left rails and picked at them. To the left branch at 6:23 and out of sight. She aerated the bowl. She settled over the eggs at 6:24 and brought fluff closer. Could see the tips of Pa's wings from the left branch as he flapped them several times at 6:25. The female tucked her head at 6:26 to sleep. Could see a small part of Pa and out of sight again. He seems to be preening. She woke up at 7:09. Pa flew at 7:13 and she watched to see where he went.

:1val: Found the female over the eggs this morning at 5:57 and rain. She was vocal at 8:17 and Pa came in with a fish. She talked to him, but did not get up initially. At the end of the 8:18 minute she finally got up and claimed her fish. Pa to the bowl and rolled the eggs. She placed the fish on the curve of the rear rails and started eating. Pa settled over the eggs. At 8:33, she took her last bite, flapped her wings to rid the rain, then flew out leaving the fish remains on the fluff pile that is draped over the rails.

:1val: At 4:55 this morning, the female was asleep over her eggs. Pa arrived to the nest at 7:26 with a stick that had one pinecone attached. He placed toward the front rails. The female got up a minute later and went to the left branch and turned to face the nest and preened. Pa to the bowl. He rolled the eggs and settled. The female turned back around on the branch and flapped her wings numerous times. At 7:28 she turned again, flew to the rear curve of the rails, then out. Pa adjusted the fluff around him.

Pa has done several position changes with egg tending throughout the morning . He was vocal at 12:13. He was vocal again at 1:08, then got up onto the left rear nest floor and flew out for the day seconds later. The female arrived to the left branch at 1:09, then walked down the branch onto the nest floor seconds later and to the bowl. She aerated, settled and adjusted the fluff around her.

The female has changed position and tended to her eggs and self several times throughout the afternoon and evening. She remains on duty as I leave at 2:20 am.
