Both eagles were on the nest very late last night. We watched and wondered if maybe the female was about to lay an egg and others watching wondered if there was an intruder close by. They both were working and fluffing up the nursery when I went to bed around midnight and this morning there is no egg. Oh well. It won't be long now before we see eggs anyway. I've read that eagles typically lay their eggs around the 2nd week of November here in the south....tick tock tick tock....

The Berry Nest looks great and the crib rails are in place. It looks a lot different in the daylight than it does at night with IR which makes it looks almost flat. There's only one more spot that needs fixing and that's in the center of the back wall by the tree where there's a hole. The female's feet injuries seem a lot better just from what we can see and she's walking better. Now we need some eggs!

Both eagles on the nest yesterday beaking around and doing some final measurements of the bowl. I am hopeful for some eggs soon.

You can say what you want to about Little Willie's size, but he is ABLE. Here he stands beside a tree-sized limb he brought to the nest. Now I want to see the two of them fashion THAT into a crib rail.

Mr. Willie it is! He's got new respect!

Both eagles were very busy on the nest this morning. They were coming and going bringing pine straw and sticks and fluffing up the nest. They moved the big stick again. LOL The weather is supposed to get cold here in the next few days so maybe that will trigger them to hurry up and lay us some eggs. Mom's feet look much better today!
I got a little video of some of their team work this morning. They do a lot of poking at each other.

Both eagles back at work today bringing more fluff and sticks. The female seems much better but you can still tell that her left foot isn't well. She'll briefly put her weight on it but something is not right. I got some video showing a pretty good look at it if anybody out there knows what to look for.

Hey ncaerie! I had to link to google to comment too and it's taken over my youtube account. Sometimes I can comment and sometimes I can't but just so ya know, I'm watching your videos, too! You have become a real professional!
I keep waiting on the Berry Eagles to lay their eggs but so far they aren't in the mood yet. This is Georgia ya know. We like to take things at our own pace. I keep waiting for the "off" season everybody was dreading but I haven't noticed it yet. So many cams now I don't believe there is such a thing as an off season anymore. Good to see you here and thanks for the compliment!

Thanks HW. I am lazy though. I record something and then I wait to see if anybody else uploads it before I do so I won't have to. LOL These people that video all day everyday really put a lot of time and effort into it. By the time you edit it and do what you do in movie maker and get it converted to upload to Youtube it really takes more time than you'd imagine. We owe those people that make it part of their everyday routine and they really contribute a lot. I'm kind of like the last resort.

Mom Berry is on the nest this morning looking like she's settling in. She's made a bowl and maybe she's finally ready to think about laying an egg? Our weather is going to rapidly go downhill after today though. Temps are going to drop and Monday night into Tuesday heavy soaking rains will be here mixed with some freezing rain and sleet. The nest area has the same forecast as I do and we are predicted to get 2" of rain. I really hope the Berry eagles have an umbrella and a winter coat.

DO NOT ignore the NO TRESPASSING sign!
