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.

From 12:30 pm and on, saw Blizzy stop by once at 6:00 pm and he stayed for 6 minutes on the branch, then left. No food in the nest. Could hear him squeeing at 8:32 and 8:34 pm. The parents are still there. Heard a parent calling at 8:34 pm, and saw a parent fly up to their usual roosting spot in a tree behind the nest tree at 8:40 pm.
Thanks. I did see parent in nest before 6am looking around for Blizzy
There was a fish too
Was that yesterday or today? Did Blizzy come and eat the fish, or did the parent eat it because Blizzy didn’t show up?
Just before dark at 8:27, Blizzy was chasing the parent. The parent flew from high up in the trees down to the lower left really fast in the lower canopy.
Blizzy was only 3 seconds behind the parent squeeing, but he headed for the nest.
He arrived and saw that there was no food drop.
He looked for the parent and then left about a minute later.
Two minutes later, the parent flies from down below, back up to the high trees (to the upper right). LOL
Blizzy flew back to the nest tree and was looking in the direction the parent went, but didn’t spot the parent. He flew to the left and was squeeing and squeeing. He squee’d really loud at 8:54, so I thought that he found a parent, but after that, he was still squeeing here and there, so probably not.
Fish delivery at 5:48am. Blizzy ate fish for about an hour and left shortly afterwards.
He came back at 9:19 and ate the rest of the fish that he had left earlier. He left again at 10:36am.
He flew in at 7:36pm. There must have been a little bit of fish left earlier, because he was eating something for about 10 minutes. It’s out of cam view. Left at 7:49.
Blizzy has been eating all day. He first arrived at 5:01 am, still dark.
He ate the smaller partial fish left in the nest from yesterday.
Then at 5:17 or 5:18am, he took the big partial fish in his talon up to the branch, but he didn’t know what to do with it there, so he ended up bringing it back down into the nest at 5:18, lol. 😅 It was cute to watch. At 5:27, he left the big partial fish tail and went to look for the parent.
An hour later 6:36, he came back and ate the big fish tail. Then he left again at 7:09.
At 7:56am, a parent flew in with what looked like a headless web footed bird.
I didn’t think that Blizzy would eat it because he had those 2 pieces of fish, but he did.
Then at 4:27pm, a parent delivered an eel.
Blizzy ate that too.
6:26 pm, Blizzy is back at the nest looking for scraps. 6:38 pm can hear Blizzy squeeing though not on the cam.
7:42pm Blizzy is back on the branch. Calling and calling for a parent.
7:59pm a parent flies in with a small stick.
Blizzy flies down to the nest and mantles, and then realizes there’s no food. The parent flies off to the right at 8:02 and Blizzy chases after the parent about 10 seconds later. Surprised that Blizzy is still hungry considering how much he ate today. 🤔
He’s back on the branch at 8:37 and left after 1 minute. Heard him calling through about 8:50 or so. Then he gave up.
Randomly looking in from my phone, Blizzy was at the nest.at 7am and 430pm. Haven’t seen a parent
Going to post updates now, thanks.
As Mary said, fish in the nest when parent stopped by this afternoon, Blizzy flew in and mantled it
Blizzy stopped by this evening, but didnt stay
He came back again at 8:03pm. He’s squeeing and squeeing on the branch for the parent. The fish tail is in the nest, but that’s not what he wants.
The parent came with another partial fish, and they were both eating fish.
Blizzy wanted the parent’s fish, so the parent was feeding Blizzy their fish.
Right after the parent left, Blizzy stopped eating. Left the rest of the fish in the nest, and flew to where the parent went.
Picky isnt he LOL
Partially eaten fish in the nest early this morning. Don’t know who ate part of it as it was prior to 6:30am.
A parent flew in at 12:24pm and was looking at the fish. Blizzy saw the parent and was squeeing as he flew toward the nest.
Blizzy claimed the fish
The parent perched on the branch for quite a long time as Blizzy ate.
Blizzy was too stuffed to finish the tail end of the fish. So glad that he got some moist fish to eat.
