Update on Blackwater Eagle Cam

During a visit to Blackwater NWR this morning the volunteer at the Visitor Center reported that their nest cam eagle laid her first egg on Wednesday, January 20th. She was on-nest while we were there, and she did not say anything about intentions for her second egg, but often it comes within a couple of days of the first, so this may be the day for that one.
