Nesting:

In like manner both eagles help with incubation of the eggs, providing food and raising the eaglets.

Egg laying/hatching/fledging typically happens at the NCTC eagle cam from February to June every year.

2024: 3 eggs laid. 1st egg laid 02/27/24 2nd egg 3/1/24 3rd egg laid 3/4/24. The 1st egg is most likely not viable due to an extended period of no incubation. After nesting was done for the season the parents began building a new nest. This new nest is 20 feet below the current nest and in the same tree. They have since decided the new nest is now their home.

That’s great to hear! Just saw the video of the fledge. I loved the reaction of the sibling RJ when Susie fledged and the parent’s as well. I’m glad Susie made it back safe.

Both eaglets are stuffed, so Bella and Scout are eating.
