Additional info and pictures from the Hancock Wildlife Channel's |
The nest is located about 80 feet up in the air in a tree in the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge in Cambridge on Maryland's Eastern Shore. In the four years the camera has been on line, the pair has successfully raised nine eaglets - three chicks in 2005 and two in 2006, 2007 and 2008.
Based on past experience, look for eggs in late January, chicks in early March, and fledging in mid to late May. (photo of tree climber from Friends of Blackwater Eagle Web Log, all rights reserved; |
