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.

Just looked thru rewind, did not see Blizzy and got a feeling in my heart the realization i may have seen him for the last time😪💔
I know how you feel. 😪 The time is getting closer where we won’t see him anymore. We witnessed a miracle with him surviving the blizzard when his siblings didn’t make it. Two miracles this year. The life of the rescued eaglet Hutch at US Steel was a miracle too. Don’t know if you follow that nest or not. At several weeks old, Hutch swallowed a fishing hook and had surgery. Stayed a couple of weeks in a vet hospital, then put back in the nest and was accepted by the parents and the siblings without harm. It almost seemed… Read more »
Blizzy spent quite lot of time at the nest today. He must be very hungry. Started viewing at 1:44 and he was there from 1:44 until 2:30.
Then he returned at 6:38 pm and stayed until 8:02.
Then he flew in at 8:38 pm and stayed until 8:41.
Blizzy was squeeing here and there, but I didn’t see or hear the parents at all. It’s possible that the parents have left the area.
thanks Mary
After 11:30 am, Blizzy stopped in one time at 6:34 pm. He was looking around in the nest for something to eat, and he left after 4 minutes. No parent was seen.
Thanks Mary for keeping up. Few visits now but so happy we saw Blizzy as long as we did
You’re welcome, jersey. Blizzy was there quite a bit today.
Blizzy made 3 very brief visits. First time at 4:41. The parent wasn’t there and no food was there.
Second visit was at 7:09 and he stayed for 4 minutes. He looked around in the nest for a scrap of food, but nothing was there.
Blizzy stopped by a third time at 8:36. The parent flew into the nest with no stick, no grasses, no food, and left after 1 minute. Blizzy was squeeing at the parent and then followed the parent still squeeing. This was the only time I saw the parent at the nest today.
Mary I enjoyed so much your recant of the eagles’ antics. Thank you.
You’re welcome, Debbie.
Mary is a great story teller, she is
I agree Joyce!
The mom brought a fish and Blizzy ate all of it except for the tail end. Then Blizzy went up on the branch with the mom. Blizzy left at 10:54.
The mom waited around until 12:15 for Blizzy to return and finish the fish, but he didn’t come back, so the mom took the fish tail and flew away.
Fifteen minutes later, a parent arrived with a fresh flopping fish.
Blizzy didn’t fly in, so the parent ate the head, piled sticks on and around the fish to make it look like one of the sticks in the nest, and then left.
Blizzy returned to the nest at 7:28 pm. He stood there just looking at the fish as if he was wondering if it was a stick or some fish. It was so cute.
He realized it was a fish and he ate it.
The parent flew in just after 8:30pm. Didn’t bring a stick or grasses or food and only stayed for 1 minute. Blizzy flew in right behind and was looking for a food delivery, but nothing was there. Blizzy looked for scraps in the nest and left after 5 minutes.
