Welcome to the world R1

Just before 22:00, on the 1st of January, 2022, Our Baby Bald Eagle (R1) came out of its shell and into this world. While we are not certain of the exact time because Mom (Rita) was hiding it, the first note of it on the chat group watching round the clock came at 21:57.
In the attached video the new baby eagle can be seen between Ritas feet as it makes its first moves. Over the next few days it’s strength and coordination will improve and will grow quickly as it siblings R2 and R3 are expected to hatch any day now.
R1 is the baby eagle (from a monitored nest) to be born in 2022.
Happy Hatch Day R1!
We at Wildlife Rescue of Dade County want to say a huge thank you to the Ron Magill Conservation Endowment for helping us to fund this entire project.
