    We became avid followers of the Berry College Eagle nest cam last year. We followed the birth to fledge of a female eaglet. This is the third year for this mated pair to breed and raise from the nest located on the Berry Campus in Rome Georgia. This amassed a following of over 4 million viewers last year. This year there are 2 nest cams, one with sound and also an approach cam from the ground. These cameras are infa red and run 24/7. Tonight @ approx. 5 p.m, the female has laid her first egg. Can't wait to see what develops this year. just type in berry college eagles to lead to the live streaming site. Enjoy, we sure do.

    I use to watch the one in Virginia all the time. The female got hit by a airplane because the setup was close to the airport and they stopped doing the live feed. I really miss it, I will have to check this one out.

    There's a pair of falcons that have taken up residence in downtown Harrisburg. The DEP has cameras set up so folks can watch the development from hatching to flight. Of course there's nothing going on now but come spring it will be active again.

    I remember watching a can somewhere a couple years ago. Didn't know Berry had one, they're only about 2 hours north of me. Probably the most beautiful college campus I've ever seen

    your so right on that. I wouldn't mind taking a tour of it if I ever get down in that area. The pictures are beautiful.
