Dad was on the nest covered in snow and ice. Right when it was getting dark Mom came home and they did a fast change to keep their eggs from getting cold and snowed on. Dad got up and shook the snow off and then went to the limb above the nest. I think he's going to spend the night there with mom who is now covered in snow again.

It's all good after tonight. Here's our forecast for the next 5 days. That's our crazy weather in Georgia. We have winter weather for a couple of days at the most and then we go back to our normal temps for awhile before the next cold weather comes in. LOL

We can be thankful that the Berry nest did not get accumulating freezing rain like other parts of Georgia got. It was supposed to but the temps stayed cold enough at the nest for most all of the precipitation to fall as either sleet or snow. That was a very good thing! Those tall pine trees are notorious for falling in an ice storm. Of course the heavy snow will weight down the branches on that tree, too, but hopefully it will make it one more night before some of it starts melting and falls off.

Dad had taken Mom's place on the nest so it might have been him earlier that switched with Mom instead of the other way around. Anyway, at 10:32 pm ET they switched again and now it's Mom back on the eggs. Whewww! I wish they'd wear name tags.

The sun is out in Georgia. WooHoo!
Lano snipped a pic of the tree early this morning and I got one a few hours later. Big difference! Things are looking up for Mrs. Berry.

What a difference a day makes.

Bunnie, Mrs. Berry has wind and rain on the way tonight. Just when she's got her nest all dried and fluffy again - AND the possibility of SNOW. If it does snow on her again, it won't last long. Warm temps forecast for next week.

Rome, GA where this nest is has 2 weather alerts right now. 1 warning of the rain/snow mix tonight and the other warning about strong, sustained winds until early tomorrow afternoon. Poor Berry Eagles can't catch a break.

* 11:15 pm ET It's raining and the wind has arrived. She's hunkered down again.

The nest looks beautiful in the fog this morning.
