UPDATE - THE EGGS HAVE HATCHED IN THE NEST AT ROME, GA AT BERRY COLLEGE - LIVE EAGLE CAM
UPDATE: 2/17/15 - Looks like the eggs have hatched. Rough weather to be a new baby eagle.
UPDATE: 1/9/15 - Looks like we have a 2nd egg laid today. Mom on nest keeping the future eaglets warm.
Dear Readers:
Since October I have been watching the mom and dad eagle clean up, reinforce their nest they used last year. Yesterday, mom eagle was preparing the nest by digging a hole in the center as if to create a well where the egg/s could be laid. This morning she was on the nest and when she got up to move, I noticed there is one egg in the nest. If things happen like they did last year, there may be another egg in a couple of days.
I keep a link to the eagle web page in the column to the left under "Paws & Stripes". There is also a link to the page under the picture.
The picture below is the mom eagle on the nest tonight.

THE RETURN OF THE EGG
Dear Readers:
"Compared to other animal products, the average egg actually contains
relatively low amounts of saturated fats— about 1.6 grams per egg yolk.
Studies from the Harvard School of Public Health and the British
Nutrition Foundation have also found that eggs have clinically
insignificant effects on blood cholesterol, and are not associated with
an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
Eating only the egg white has been popular because it’s considered pure protein and doesn’t have the fatty content of the yolk, but some dieticians argue that consuming both the fat and protein can have a positive health benefits when it comes to blood sugar."
Here is the link to the complete article: http://www.foxnews.com/health/2015/02/11/new-dietary-guidelines-may-ok-eating-eggs/
If you have followed my web page for awhile, you probably have figured out that I am an egg advocate. Back in the 70's (yes, I am that old and older), the medical community made the egg the villain of cholesterol. It became the "anti-food de jure" of the medical community. Oh, sigh!
Anyway, I kept on eating them mainly for all of the other good things that are in the egg, i.e. lecithin to name one. Lecithin is a source of choline, an essential nutrient. Clinical studies have shown benefit in acne, in improving liver function, and in lowering cholesterol.
Here is an excerpt from a recent article with the link provided to the complete article.

"5 DANGEROUS APPS YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR KIDS ARE USING."
If you have kids or grandkids, this is a really important article you should read to keep them safe. Below is an excerpt with a link to the entire article.
1. Snapchat
5 Dangerous apps you don't know your kids are using.
If you're a parent or a grandparent, you know kids pick up the latest
technology lightning fast. Of course, that means the children in your
life can also be using apps and visiting sites that are totally
inappropriate for their ages. Worse yet, you might not even realize it.
Let’s look at five dangerous apps the children you deeply care about may be using … and why they're dangerous.
Snapchat
is a picture-messaging app whose claim to fame is that the messages
last only for a few seconds once they're opened, then supposedly
evaporate into thin air. In theory, you can send embarrassing or risque
pictures without being afraid someone will steal or distribute them.
Unfortunately, the claim that Snapchat makes it safe to send risque
pictures is just plain wrong. It's way too simple for anyone to grab a
screenshot of the image before it's deleted. In fact, several teenage
boys have gotten in serious legal trouble over the last few years for
capturing and distributing illegal photos sent to them by underage
girls.
