Thanks, Gail. Given the age and size of the eaglets I am surprised that the second was not visible. I hope other watchers will provide images as evidence of its continued presence.

The Berry College Eagle Cam site is very informative and could serve as a model for the educational benefits it can offer. It is inspiring to see that private companies have contributed material support. I assume that the ongoing costs of broadband and maintenance are still rather substantial.

Here is an active link to the nest, in which a single eaglet appears to be nearly ready to fledge:

Here is an excerpt from the Information page:

ABOUT THE BERRY EAGLES' "NEST" AND "APPROACH" CAMERAS

Berry is excited to provide live video feeds of the bald eagle nest. Georgia Power once again donated the use of a truck and manpower this year to install two new cameras, camera 1 and camera 2, both with sound. One of these cameras was donated by Axis Communications Inc.  Both nest cameras are Axis model Q1765-LE.  

Although these cameras are high definition, in order to stream video content across the web there will be some reduction in resolution. We monitor the cameras and streaming account closely and will make adjustments to enhance your experience quickly and to the extent that we can. The approach camera, a third camera. is situated on a pole across from the nest tree. It is a Pelco camera and is new for the 2015-16 season...
