This pair fledged 2 eaglets, named Victoria and Sidney, in 2006. They laid two eggs in 2007, one of which hatched and successfully fledged; that eaglet was named Skye. This pair was observed building a feeding platform in 2007, which they made into a second nest that they are using for 2008. The original nest (link above) has two cameras, giving both a wide-angle view of the nest and surrounding branches and a close-up view of the nest bowl; both are streaming video with sound. Attempts to place cameras in the alternative nest were unsuccessful - the tree was too high for the crane - so pictures for 2008 will be provided by observers on the ground.
Based on past experience, look for eggs in early to mid March, chicks in mid April, and fledging in mid to late July. |
