Eaglesfield Eagle Eyeing

We stumbled across an eagle cam located in the southeastern United States at Berry College.  An eaglet hatched on February 22, 2014, from one of two eggs laid in January.

The term for "Eagle" is derived from Latin: aquila by way of French: aigle . . . which, through other derivatives, means "dark-colored, swarthy, or blackish" as a reference to the bird's plumage  . . . or from aquilo, meaning "north wind." Thus, our name "Eaglesfield" fits quite nicely given all the black horses and north winds we are fortunate enough to experience.  Click on the photo above to access the live eagle cam to check on the eaglet's progress.
