The next big event to catch on the Richmond Eagle Cam: eggs.
"We are on egg watch right now," said Libby Mojica, a wildlife biologist with the Center for Conservation Biology, a research organization. "I don't think she is going to lay eggs this weekend, but it could be in the next week, for sure."
Bald eagles usually lay up to three eggs. The second comes about three days after the first. A third typically would come three to five days after the second.
Each egg should hatch about 35 days after it is laid.
The two eagles continue to court, mate and work on their nest. In one courtship ritual, the male brings food, usually a fish, to the female. The birds also call to each other.
You can cast an online vote to name the eagles through Thursday. The winners will be announced Friday.
The Eagle Cam is a project of the conservation center and the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
