Watch Baby Eagles Being Born In Avon Lake
In what has become a semi-annual tradition, the bald eagles outside Redwood Elementary are starting to hatch eaglets.
AVON LAKE, OH — Two baby eagles have broken through their eggs and emerged into the world outside an Avon Lake school. The eaglets can be seen on a 24-7 video stream set up by the school district.
Outside Redwood Elementary there is a bald eagle nest — home to Stars and Stripes (the names bestowed on two adult bald eagles by the students). Over the past few years, the adult bald eagles have laid and hatched several eggs.
The first egg of 2019 was laid on Feb. 28. Two additional eggs followed, on March 3 and March 6. The first eaglet to hatch came out of its shell on April 8 at 6:22 a.m.

To help would-be eagle watchers, the school district has set up two live video streams from above the nest. One of the streams offers a 360 degree view around the nest. That footage is below.
The second live stream is a more straight-ahead angle on the nest. That video footage is above this article.
