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.

Blizzy flew in at 3:14. He was looking all around for a parent.
Then he flew down to the nest and was looking for scraps of food. Nothing is there. He picked up the empty turtle shell and was carrying it around.
It was starting to rain, so he went up on the branch and was squeeing and looking around some more. I didn’t hear or see a parent from noon and on. Blizzy flew off to the left at 3:40 pm.
Cute
Does anyone remember what date Blizzy hatched?
No, I didn’t, but it is stated in the second/hatch video above, “Duke Farms welcomed the new eaglet after it hatched early on February 22, 2026 at approximately 7:01 AM.” That makes Blizzy 4 months old today.
Thanks Mary
You’re welcome, jersey.
After 2 pm, Blizzy stopped in at 2:38. Squeeing and squeeing. Parent called at 2:38 also, but didn’t come. Blizzy stayed until 2:44.
Parent came at 7:31pm. Brought no food, no sticks, nothing. Went down into the nest.
Blizzy flew in thinking that there was a food delivery.
Blizzy was squeeing at the parent. The parent only stayed about 3 minutes. I wonder why the parent went to the nest.
At 7:36pm, Blizzy grabbed that thick black stick (that the parent had brought for him a couple of days ago) with both talons, and was practicing taking off with it as if he had prey in his talons that he was carrying.
He was jumping around the nest with it.
Then he flew up to the branch with the stick in both talons, so he didn’t have a free talon to grab the branch with. He slid off the branch still holding onto that stick (lol) and flew away.
From noon and on, only saw Blizzy at 8:58pm. He stopped in for 1 minute and was squeeing for the parent.
Then he flew to the trees in back of the nest tree (where the parents usually roost at night). I could hear him squeeing and the parent calling.
I looked early by yesterday (sat)on rewind and did not see Blizzy or M&D
okay, thanks jersey
At 8:42pm, the parent flew to the branch with something stiff and dark colored. Blizzy took it from the parent on the branch and flew it down to the nest. At 8:46, he grabbed it with his talons and was jumping around the nest with it, over and over.
He brought it up to the branch and then back down into the nest again, and he left it in the nest.
Im glad he is still around, thanks
Me too. At least for a little while longer. Less and less time at the nest though, so not much longer.
Blizzy was so excited when the parent brought something for him.
He moved the sticks out of the way that were on the turtle.
Then he grabbed the turtle with his beak
and turned it upside down and ate it. It’s so great that the parent is bringing different types of prey to teach Blizzy what other prey is good to eat.
thats terrific
Yes, it is. It seems that Blizzy is getting more instruction before leaving than some of the other fledglings here. That’s going to really help him when he’s on his own. I don’t know if the parents are doing that because he was a little slower in learning (sat on the branch for 2 days after fledging, afraid to fly off of it, and was still being fed by the parent for a long time after fledging rather than self-feeding), or if he is just a special eaglet to those parents because he survived the blizzard.
He is a special eaglet. I think a lone hatch misses the interaction from sibs, and Blizzy seems like he developed on the slow side, (self feeding, fledge) I love him anyway
Me too. 💗
From 9 am and on, saw Blizzy once at 7:32 pm. He looked for scraps and played with sticks. Stayed 20 minutes. Was squeeing and the parent was calling after Blizzy left the nest.
