Two South Florida bald eagles certainly have the internet buzzing with live cams set up to watch and wait for their new baby eagles. And it’s happened.
Harriet and M15 (hmm…not sure why her male partner wasn’t given a name but Male-15) laid their first egg on November 22nd, the second egg on November 25th. The second egg hatched on New Year’s Eve and given the “name” E9. It doesn’t look good for the first egg. It appears the egg was buried by M15 shortly after Harriet laid the egg. Harriet dug it out three days after laying E9’s egg.
It has been 41 days since the first egg was laid with no activity. The incubation period for a bald eagle egg is 34-40 days. It appears the egg, in all probability, will not be viable. If the egg doesn’t hatch soon, Harriet and M15 may bury it, move it to the side of the nest or eat because it contains a much-needed nutrient, calcium.
You can watch the live cam of Harriet, M15 and their newest addition, E9. Enjoy!
Love the cam. Did you know an eagle’s nest is large enough for a grown man to lie down in it. Each year it gets larger as eagle’s add more stocks.
That’s what they do.
Harriet is still sitting on the other egg. She’s hoping the egg will hatch. I hope so too! I doubt if it will.
I don’t think there will be another eaglet this time around. At least there is one.
The live cam is cool.
The eaglet is getting big. Awesome.
