The Norfolk Botanical Garden eagles are parents again.
The first of three eggs laid since Feb. 3 hatched on Sunday morning, according to the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries and The Center for Conservation Biology blogs.
The first hole was seen at 8:21 a.m. and half of an eggshell was moved to the side of the nest by the female eagle by 11:25 a.m.
Two other eggs remain in the nest.
The eagles return to the garden each year and their nest is monitored live on WVEC’s website and by biologists.

This is nature at its finest! This pair of eagles are wonderful parents. I have been watching the eagle cam since it was first started. I love it. Its so educational. Its a shame the NPS won't allow their classrooms to watch. It would be a terrific learning experience. Many thanks to WVEC, NBG and CCB for bringing this cam to us and for sharing their knowledge with us.
So beautiful!
This is such a wonderful site! Been watching for a few years and never tire of seeing how beautiful these eagles are. I wish this could be broadcast on Cox channel 5 that has nothing on it!!! Then it could be available to hospitals, nursing homes, etc. The more exposure couldn't hurt, it would provide an educational experience for so many, bring joy to those who have little in their lives, and more donations just might pour in!!

That’s why I bought a netbook after a no expenses paid weekend stay at a local hospital. If I get stuck in one again I’ll have internet access and streaming audio for radio stations I listen to. Now, if I can figure out how to get edible food while in there without running my wife ragged bringing take out……….
The NPS situation is sad but the city admin has buildings to build for people who can’t occupy them and a choo-choo to run few are going to ride.
blocked site
NPS has internet but I guess they have this site blocked according to that post from a NPS teacher. This is a positive learning opportunity, especially for young children, just cannot imagine it not being available to the hometown where the eagles reside!

I know they have ‘net access. From what I’ve been told, and I’m a computer dummy, they need something to go with whatever sort of browser they’re using to get Flash Player. That costs money they aren’t willing spend.
Folks, if that’s wrong I’ll stand corrected without comment.
Wonderful Idea!!!!!
This year the Norfolk Public Schools are unable to see this on the computers at school. We could see Channel 5. Our students are VERY upset!!! This would help a lot of people! Great idea! Hope someone will make it happen!
that is so wrong!
Norfolk Public Schools should be ashamed of themselves! This is something happening in our city, people from all over the world are watching and commenting on it, school children from all over are also being educated by the eagle cam. What is wrong with NPS that they deny our children this marvelous learning experience!?
Just what 'Laughfawk' needs is ANOTHER welfare family to add
To its welfare roles and a 'Nanny Cam' with WIFI to BOOT! Go to a ZOO if you want to see wild life, or 'Downtown' Friday Night after 11pm. Bring your Hunting gun for protection.....
