Berry Eagles and Looming Football

Update: the eggs have hatched! Berry has BABY bald eagles! (1/29/13)

Update: there are eggs in the nest!! (1/5/13).

Update: Berry installed a live eagle cam to arch the nest! (12/17/12).

Update: the female could lay eggs any day now! (11/28/2012).


Back during all the debates on campus about adding football, two bald eagles nested on campus right where the stadium was to be built. Officials and bird experts and such even comments on how odd it was for the eagles to nest so far from water.

How about that? I think it's hilarious in a karma kind of way.
The birds that are protected by federal LAW (can't touch them, can't move them, 100K fine) build a nest in the EXACT spot where the stadium is planned. 
Hm. Hehehe. 





This is just incredible!


 Stadium plans were halted. Berry had to apply to some forestry association to get permission to build in the planned spot. Recently, Berry was granted permission to build as planned.

This is the date of the first Berry football game.. 

The first ever Berry football coach. 
Tony Kunczewski from La Grange College.


*sigh* 
I am so glad that I will be long gone from Berry when football fever sets in.
