AVON LAKE, Ohio — It's become an annual tradition in Lorain County.
At Redwood Elementary School in Avon Lake, we have become accustomed to keeping a close eye on the bald eagles who have made their nest outside the building. Appropriately names Stars and Stripes, the pair have captivated audiences with their efforts to raise a family over the years.
Sunday morning, at 7:30 a.m., the proud parents welcomed the newest little one to their ranks.
Images from the Avon Lake Eagle Cam show Stars and Stripes' first egg of the season has hatched, and the eaglet can be seen nestled inside its little shell. At this point, its still too early to tell if its a boy or a girl, but mom and dad are already hard at work providing the needed care.
And on Monday, the bald eagles welcomed their second little one. The new bundle of joy entered the world at 10:45 a.m. See a picture of the baby below.
However, this is far from the end for Stars and Stripes this spring. There is still one egg that has yet to hatch, and in the meantime, we anxiously await the baby's arrival.
