Well let's hope last season turns out to have been an anomaly; the eagle parents did lose both chicks last year, probably due to the terrible weather and not being able to keep the chicks healthy, although no cause of either chick's death was officially determined.
Looking forward: this year the mom and pop eagles refurbished their nest as usual (this is their eighth season at this nest) and now have 2 eggs they're minding, one was laid on January 13, the other on the 14th. It takes about a month for the hatch, but can take up to about 42 days. So we should be seeing some action pretty soon.
Here's the link for the cams and more info about the Berry College eagles.
The cameras for web streaming are arranged as in prior seasons, one approach camera on a pole across from the nest tree, and 2 cameras for nest views. The Axis nest cams have sound and infrared capability and are new as of this season; truck and manpower for installation donated by Georgia Power and Light. If a cam is damaged during the season it will not be repaired until after the season's eaglets have fledged.
