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.

Can’t view anything prior to 1 pm. From 1 pm and on, only saw Blizzy one time. Flew in at 8:33pm, looking for food in the nest. Nothing there. Squeeing and squeeing. He stayed for 6 minutes. Parents not seen.
Didn’t see food delivered yesterday or today, so I hope he’s at least going down to the river for a drink of water, so that he doesn’t get dehydrated in this heat.
Saw Blizzy just before 5pm. Looking for food in the nest. Nothing there so he only stayed 5 minutes. Parents not seen.
Blizzy stopped in for 2 minutes, just before 6 pm. Looking for food in the nest. Panting from the heat.
At 7:47 the parent brought a big fish. The parent looked very hungry and started quickly eating the fish. Blizzy was up in the tree and was squeeing and squeeing when he saw the parent was eating the fish. He flew down and moved over by the parent, and snatched a few bites from the parent. The parent finally stopped eating and looked at Blizzy.
Blizzy took advantage of the situation and grabbed the fish. The parent then left and Blizzy ate for about 3 minutes. Then Blizzy left without finishing the fish.
A little bit later, a sub-adult flew in and saw the fish.
The sub-adult grabbed the fish and took off with it.
A parent flew in right after the sub-adult left.
but they were 2 seconds too late to recover the fish 😞
Haha, snooze ya lose
😂
Blizzy stopped by around 5am, found food on the nest and stayed about an hour, looking good
Thanks, jersey. These parents are so good. 💗 Still providing food.
Blizzy flew onto the branch and stayed for a few minutes in the early afternoon and then left. Was looking in every direction for the parents.
At 7:02 pm, a parent flew in with a big eel (notice which direction Blizzy is going)
Instead of flying in behind the parent, Blizzy flew all around the nest tree
and landed on the other side 😂So funny!
A minute later, the other parent arrived
They each called out
and they both turned to see if Blizzy was eating the eel (notice how the parent at the top, who had brought the eel, was really stretching their neck to see what Blizzy was doing)
Then the parent that was lower down flew away. The other parent stayed to observe.
Blizzy worked on that eel for an hour and a half. He was crying a lot as he was self-feeding, as if he wanted the parent to come down and help/feed him, but the parent stayed on the tree and just watched. The parent left at 8:20 when Blizzy was almost finished the eel. Blizzy downed the tail of the eel at 8:35.
Thank you Mary
cute series
Great action shot Mary!
Got to rewind too late to see, but i did catch the end
That was a good meal for Blizzy.
Blizzy left at 11:32 am. A parent flew in with something small in their right talon at 11:34. Just missed Blizzy by 2 minutes. The parent was either de-furring it or de-feathering it. Can’t tell, it’s too far from the cam.
The parent ate some scraps that Blizzy had left when he was there at 11:30 am, and stomped on and pecked at bugs in the nest near where Blizzy had been eating. The parent waited for Blizzy to come and looked around for him, then finally ate some of the bird or mammal, and left the end of it for Blizzy. The parent left at 12:08. Blizzy didn’t return to the nest today.
Blizzy is at the nest eating, cant see what, Parent perched after 11am monday
