Three Bald Eaglets on Eagle Nest Cam
Posted on May 9, 2011
These three bald eaglets hatched in the nest of parents Franklin and Independence at the American Eagle Foundation center at Dollywood on April 29, May 5 and May 6 respectfully. The eaglets survived severe storms that passed through the East Tennessee area.
AEF President Al Cecere says, "During the high winds and intense thunder showers, I intently watched the eagle nest day and night from a video camera available over the Internet. It always amazes me how the parent birds faithfully cover the eggs and young with their body and wings during severe weather, even when chunks of hail are pounding on their backs."
