The females egg laying duties usually start in mid to late January with hatching beginning about 35 days later and then Fledging in June. After fledging they will remain Juveniles for about 2 years before becoming adult eagles and will not have fully matured feathers till about 5 years after fledging.
This eagle camera has pan and zoom functionality which gives you an excellent view of the nest. In 2012 Hurricane Sandy’s 90mph winds destroyed the upper half of the nest tree and the nest itself. Once the Eagles returned thankfully they found a new nest tree and decided to build a new nest about 100ft away from the old one in a Sycamore tree.

Some sound was making the mom afraid, and she flew into the nest and called the dad who also came into the nest.
I don’t know what is making her afraid. She was still alerting at 11:15 pm. Kind of sounds like some type of bird.
wonder what it was
10:53am the parent brought the end of a fish. Blizzy grabbed it with his talons and played with it as if trying to fly with it. He took little bites of it throughout the day. The mom brought a stick around 6:45pm, and she finished up the fish tail. Blizzy didn’t want any. Probably too stuffed from the eel this morning.
After 9am Blizzy was fed an eel and showing off lots of wing flapping & jumps
Too close to the edge!!!
Blizzy likes that spot.
5:40pm both parents were there, and both were feeding Blizzy.
Raining on the nest, parent stopped by several times and stayed, i saw 2 small feedings, approx 1230 & 330
Glad Blizzy ate in spite of the rainy weather.
Blizzy is alone a lot I hardly see the parents. Is that concerning?
No, not for an eaglet of Blizzy’s age. They could also be up in the tree guarding, and we can’t tell because they are perched out of cam view.
Im sure they are watching from above, but he sure does look lonely
One day, I saw the mom fly to the branch by the nest. She was perched there for a long time, but with that Duke banner blocking the top of the video, you could barely see her talons on the branch. If I didn’t see her fly up there, I would think that she wasn’t in the nest tree.
I wish they would remove that banner from the screen.
Dad flies in with an eel for Blizzy
Blizzy claims it
Dad fed Blizzy the eel
Mom flew in and saw Dad feeding Blizzy the eel. The mom takes the eel away from dad and begins to feed Blizzy. Dad has nothing to do, so he flies away. Blizzy watches the dad leave.
