Sometime “about 12-noon” today March 15, the second eaglet emerged out of the egg shell in which it had been developing for 37 days. The time is based on sightings by viewers of the WVEC eagle cam, and on a video recording taken by Perry Mathewes at Norfolk Botanical Garden. One more chick to hatch.

They are so cute when young and so awesome when grown. Love these birds. Thank God Ben Franklin didn’t win his battle to get the turkey as our national bird.
How can you not just love them? How can you not just melt when you see them? How can you not want them to live long and healthy lives? I see a lot of Bald Eagles where I live here in South Central Oregon and I never take for granted seeing them. 3 nests right near my house…..only one active for now.
This is such a great glimpse into the lives of these eagles. So happy the camera and blogs are here to keep track of all the happenings! I was very excited to tune into the video today and see both eaglets up in the nest.
I love eagles, we had one stop by our pond for a free lunch some time ago, now its blue herons,and other water birds, our two Canada geese, (Fred and Ethel) have returned to have more babies in the spring, then they invite more of the friends to join them. Have a great time watching the eagles on the live cam!! thanks for sharing it with the public too. Sharon T. from oHIo near Lake Erie.
Thank you for the beautiful clear pictures of the pair and the babies. These birds are so magnificent. It is hard to believe how gentle they are taking care of their young
