Camellia Returns to James City County

Suspense is finally over!! Ann Shirley and Debbie Morrison provided video evidence of a possible third egg being laid on Feb 9, 2011 at 5:55pm, however, the egg was not seen because it was just too dark and the female never allowed a clear view. Her actions and behavior said she had produced an egg. All day Feb 10, video and photos were carefully reviewed but while one or two eggs were clearly in view, we never got a look at three eggs at the same time. Finally this morning at 8:57 the male got up off the eggs and all three eggs could be clearly seen. Photo 2 is mom checking eggs – photo 3 is dad checking eggs.
Official time based on females behavior as seen on videos is February 9, 2011 at 5:55pm

I was so lucky to be able to catch the first two being layed. This is such an awesome experience I get to share with my children! This is my first year watching the cam and can’t wait for the three little eaglets!
WOW, so very exciting! Spectacular photos! Thank you for sharing.
I congratulate Mom for her terrific efforts laying these three eggs, soon to be, bobbleheads. (Dad for his help!)
Reese, and all the support folks (DeeJay and Annsva and everyone else); –thanks for the many venues and personal time and attention in sharing this pair’s ‘life events’ with all of us.
May we all have a great season!
It has been such an exciting couple of days trying to get a glance of the third egg. So glad to see it!!
Now the countdown to hatching 🙂
First time we have ever seen these beautiful birds in their natural habitat. How blessed are we to have seen the eggs laid and now we wait like anxious parents waiting for the young to hatch. We are glued to the website
Thankyou for this opportunity in England.
