Description
Berry College in Rome, Ga., became home to a pair of bald eagles in the spring of 2012. The couple built a nest more than 100 feet up in a pine tree between the school’s main entrance and the parking lot of the Steven J. Cage Athletic and Recreation Center. The eagles’ choice for a nest was interesting in that the college entrance is off a very busy highway and there is much campus traffic in the vicinity. The nest is located, however, about halfway between the Oostanaula River and a large granite quarry owned by Berry College.
The eagles nested too late in the season to produce eggs and they left the nest during the summer. By October of 2012, they had returned, were seen mating and soon produced two eggs. In January 2013, two eaglets hatched, and the campus and surrounding community became transfixed watching the parents bring food to the nest and, later, watching the eaglets flap their wings getting ready to fly.
Eaglet 1 fledged on April 22 and Eaglet 2 fledged on April 28. The eaglets stayed around the nest for several days before departing.
Eagles have been spotted on our campus, the world’s largest at 27,000 acres, but this is the first known nest in Floyd County. During the season of 2012-13, we documented the bald eagle couple, their two offspring and four juvenile eagles.
In September, we installed a new nest cam, in addition to an “approach” cam, on a limb near the nest. After the installation, a new eagle, a “sub adult,'' has been seen several evenings sitting in the nest. We aren’t sure what to expect if the original nesting pair return to find an interloper in their nest!
Our nest cam is the only one in Georgia streaming a live feed of a bald eagle nest.

We hope all of you are enjoying the incubation period for the Berry College Eagles.
February 18 will be the 35th day of incubation for the first egg. Hatching could take place a few days earlier or a few days later. Our parents seem to be doing a good job on the nest, even bringing in additional nest material. Thanks to all of you for posting fabulous pictures and sharing our stream with your friends and family!
