Sorry, I couldn’t resist the title. (Yes, it’s bad.)
If you haven’t followed, the Richmond baby eagles I mentioned before have arrived. One arrived 10 days ago on Friday evening, and the other baby eagle arrived a week ago Sunday in the morning.
It’s fun theater, and cool to share with the kids (at least when there is something more to see than a mommy or daddy eagle sitting or sleeping.
Pretty cool stuff here in Richmond. As have been happening elsewhere in the US in recent years, Richmond has its own eagle nest under observation with potentially promising results. There is a pair of eggs being nested somewhere in the area (they won’t say, for obvious security reasons), and it’s been under camera surveillance for a while. Even during the recent snowstorms and windstorms, Momma Bird (aka Virginia) hasn’t left the eggs alone.
Now comes word that the eggs may be due to hatch this week — should be cool. We watched the Iowa birds last year, and that was a lot of fun.
