GORHAM ( AP) — A web camera has recorded a bald eagle laying its first egg of the season in eastern Maine.
Biologists at Biodiversity Research Institute in Gorham said the egg was laid on Monday in a tree in Hancock County. The egg is expected to hatch in about 35 days.
The institute monitors cameras that provide live 24- hour Internet streaming of two different eagle nests, one in Hancock County and the other along Maine’s Midcoast. They can be viewed at www.briloon.org.
