Good day Bev, Mom and Dad Berry and all watching. I popped in expecting to see an empty nest and look who’s here. I think after reading chat, that they’ve been here about an hour but haven’t scrolled back. Nice to see them still here working on their nest.

As we begin to prepare for the 2019-20 eagle season, we wanted to provide a quick update with plans for the year.
· We will be replacing the two nest cameras and plan to mount the approach cam up a bit higher on the pole
· The website will be transitioned over to the new look of the Berry College site
· The Tumblr blog account will cease and updates will be posted directly to the Berry website in addition to Facebook
· We will be transitioning from Livestream chat to a new chat product that allows for more robust filtering of content and moderation
These changes are all geared at making the eagle watching experience more enjoyable for all and we will share additional information in the weeks to come.

Go to Face Book for the rest

Both eagles are visiting the nest this afternoon. They’re probably enjoying the lovely summer weather as much as we are!

Just a reminder that the eagles are typically at the nest less often during the summer. They will return more frequently as we near September.
