    As most of you know, I follow the eagle cam families in both SW Florida and Berry College Georgia. Both sets of eagle parents were blessed with 2 egg clutches which went on to hatch into healthy chicks this year. Sadly, last night one of the chicks @ Berry College fell 125' from the nest and did not survive. Mother nature can sometimes be cruel. R.I.P. lil' eagle.

    That's too bad. We get eagles around here sometimes, and what an awesome bird to see.
