The first eaglet hatched Sunday morning on the SWFL Eagle Cam. It was by Harriet the eagle. The eaglet was born into cool weather, which is less so by the love and warmth provided by its mother.

The hatch couldn’t come at a better time. With Christmas in two days, Harriet will have the best gift a mother eagle can have for the holiday — a buoyant newly born baby.
