Bald Eagle - West Virginia / USFWS
bev.:
The thing about this is that the 3rd egg of that clutch may be viable. We watched faithfully and they were attentive to the egg but not on it all the time. Now as that goes, they do not have to be in full incubation until last egg and the sun was shining and the egg was way down in the bowl . A few of us remember Maine in 2007 when the female left the net for such a long time and 2 of those eggs hatched.And then an unfortunate snowstorm.
so I maintain never say never.

I have been following this nest through the whole scenario and I do not believe this was a second clutch. The egg came too soon after for ti to be a second clutch. Various bilogists have given their vies and some say new clutch but most say it could be the 4th in the first clutch. some eagles have had 4 eggs in one clutch.
but as long as one hatches, I will be happy and would we not just **** if 2 hatched.
I have kept optimistic here and they have such a nice nest bowl now.

News Update on this nest:
We hear the female adult at the NCTC Eagle Cam in West Virginia laid a fourth egg. Is this the fourth egg of the first clutch or the first egg of the second clutch? The good news is the nest cup has lost its snow, so there might be hope for the viability of the last egg. We’ll keep our fingers crossed for this determined pair...
