šŸ¦…šŸ„šYesterday afternoon, the eagles at ND-LEEF laid a second egg. Unfortunately, during incubation egg #1 broke. This pair has laid a third egg in past seasons. If another egg is laid, we may see it within the next 2-3 days. View the incubation here: youtube.com/live/uclSpDuKo8E…

First egg of the season at ND-LEEF! šŸ¦…šŸ„š Laid Friday evening and now under careful incubation. Based on 7 years of records, a second egg is likely today or tomorrow. Watch out for the next one! Incubation switch: youtu.be/Op7xgMra4hE?si=Q7CI… Live cam: youtube.com/live/uclSpDuKo8E…

Two days after installing the new wide angle cam, a juvenile bald eagle landed in the nest to feed on leftover food...until the resident adults drove it off! Thank you to @LogistickInc for the wide angle cam support, which made this observation possible. youtu.be/rI0uBRYyLAY
