Bald Eagle Cam Pictures 2008 Season
During the winter, the eagles built a new nest, so the cam was relocated For a more photos on the relocation, click here
Eagles in their new home
A Great Horned Owl inspects the nest
The first egg was laid in the evening of Feb. 1. The owl startled the eagle during the egg laying process.
The owl was not attacking the eagles or looking to steal an egg as some reports have suggested Resting the next morning with the first egg
The second egg was laid on the evening of Feb. 4
What appears to be laying the third egg on the night of Feb. 8 We have since learned no egg was laid.
A 4th year female intruded at the nest, Feb. 15
The female was chased from the nest and the eggs were abandoned Eggs were removed from the nest on Feb. 19. They will be examined by Center for Conservation Biology at William & Mary. Permits to remove the eggs were provided by VDGIF and USFWS Eggs in nest

Removing an egg
Biologists examine the eggs once they are on the ground
The original pair reunite The male is on the left and female on the right
On March 11, another juvenile was spotted near the nest
As the juvenile approached the tree, the female chased it away
The juvenile returned and perched above the nest for a few moments
After the resident female left, the juvenile visited the nest for a few minutes
The female lays the first egg of the second clutch, March 16
On March 19, a second egg was laid
On March 20, the sleeping pair were disturbed but something overhead. During the commotion, the incubating eagle apparently stepped on the eggs, breaking them.
Early that morning the female ate one of the broken eggs and the second that afternoon.
A new egg was laid around 12:20 pm on March 22
The egg hatched on April 27
