    The last two years there have been a mated pair of Bald Eagles which have fledged 3 eaglets from a nest located right in the middle of the Berry College Campus in Rome Georgia. The amazing part about this is that there is live streaming 24/7 with a infared cam of the entire process from nest prep to fledging the eaglets. This past season had over 14 million viewers watching this amazing process. Now, the parents are periodically coming into the nest to prepare it for the next brood sometime between mid December and mid January. Fasinating to watch to say the least. Just goggle Berry College Eagles. Mother eagle is sitting in the nest as we speak.

    Cool. There is a pair of eagles that raise babies in the park across from my house. Park rangers set up telescopes to see but no live stream. Do you have a web adress for the camera ?

    At 5:16 PM our time, it was a bit surprise to see it dark back there. Easy to forget the time difference.

    Just as a footnote to this, the nest is located 115' up a long needled pine tree on the edge of a parking lot next to one of the bldgs. This year, in addition to the nest cam currently on and also the approach cam, which you can switch over to, they have installed another nest cam from another angle. This cam is also going to include sound and will also be 24/7. Earlier this year the college elected to move the site of a new athletic complex to be built, to elsewhere on the campus so as to not disturb this tree or nest.
