Eagles’ nest at Botanical Gardens boasts first egg.

From the Virginian-Pilot -

The bald eagles’ nest at the Norfolk Botanical Garden had its first egg of the 2009 season as of Tuesday afternoon. Most bald eagles lay two eggs, although nests with one or three eggs can occur. Eggs may be laid over the course of several days. Incubation lasts 35 to 37 days. It’s the sixth year a pair of eagles has nested at the garden, successfully raising nine young eagles in that time.

They can be visited at the garden or through the Eagle Cam at www.wvec.com/cams/eagle.html.
