Click on this link to watch EagleCam the live Eagle camera at Norfolk Botanical Gardens in Norfolk VA. This pair has been nesting here for about 4 years and have produced 12 offspring so far. This season there were 3 eggs...so far today there's one egg and 2 brand new hatchlings.

It's pretty amazing that you can find a pair of Bald Eagles in such a densley populated urban area. The nest is about a quarter mile from the main runway at Norfolk International Airport, about a mile from the Navy's Little Creek Amphibious Base and about 5 miles from downtown Norfolk. Yet here they are...

They'll keep the camera going until the kids leave the nest. I was amazed last year at how quickly they developed!

I'm sorry. I fed my dogs Beneful briefly yrs ago. But then, I tried many brands before settling on Royal Canin.
