Eagles and the Hotel BARC

Well, maybe these are not the same kind of eagles but the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center hosts a pair and we have a lovely photo of them for you.  If you are interested in eagles you can also see the pair that is nesting and raising young in the National Arboretum on the daring EagleCam provided online that provides day and night continuous live feeds.  While ‘our’ eagles aren’t on camera (can’t a bird have a little privacy?) ornithologists are agog to see if they successfully raise young.
