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.

@Mary. Thank you so much for the super pics you posted of Blizzys adventure, what a day but so happy to know how it happened and he is near the nest, thanks again 😘
Hi jersey, @Mary is not me. She is in Iowa, not NJ. You’re welcome for the photos. I wanted to set your heart at ease in knowing that Blizzy is okay.
Just watched this video from May 3rd. There was an owl attack at night and Blizzy almost fell:
Blizzy was climbing up the steep V branch
His talons couldn’t get a good grip and he was sliding back down
He fludged (accidental fledge) in between the V branches.
He flew to a nearby tree
The parent stopped in at the nest and was looking all around. The parent then perched in a tree within cam view, but I can’t tell if the parent can see where Blizzy is or not.
Thank goodness, Blizzy landed safely.
At 2am, Blizzy was sleeping. He likes to go down into the nest at night when he gets tired of standing, but tonight he’ll have to stay standing on the branch all night.
This photo shows how far away he flew from the nest tree. I circled him in the photo and the sycamore branches in the foreground are the nest tree. Hopefully, he will stay put until the morning light.
Blizzy left the nest tree, Duke Farms is panning the area, but it is getting dark, sure hope parents know where he is. Wonder if he fledged or fell. Be safe Blizzy 😍
Thanks for informing us, jersey. I reviewed the rewind on youtube. He fell (fludged), but his wings are strong enough to fly. He’s been flying from the branch down into the nest lately. The good thing is that he landed fairly high up in the other tree rather than close to the ground, so hopefully he can make his way back to the nest without any problem.
Blizzy, Blizzy, here are you Kiddo?
I was happy yesterday to see a parent spend a lot of time with Blizzy. He was up on the branch, then some rain and he came to the nest. Back on the branch now.
Blizzy is sleeping on the big branch tonight, not on the nest rails.
