Eagle Cam by WVEC.com documents bald eagles nesting at the Norfolk, Va. Botanical Garden.

First egg laid Sunday, Jan. 31

It's quite amazing, TV-quality. When I first came on it, the lens was zoomed up close; it has since pulled back to show the nest, quite high up in a tree.

Today, only mom was in the nest while I watched. "Bald Eagles typically lay a clutch of two eggs although nests of one or even three eggs occur as well. In fact this pair has a history of three egg clutches. The eggs are typically laid over a period of 3-6 days," writes a state wildlife biologist in a blog about Eagle Cam.

The color camera switches to black and white at night with an infrared illuminator. A chat runs along the right side of the live video, and informed people are often there quelling rumors and answering questions in a relaxed, low-key way.

The photo is a screen capture I made from the stream late this afternoon, cropped but not enlarged.
