2022 Eaglet Information Table

adults Liberty/Momma and Freedom/Poppa

GG7/Love
GG8/Peace

Liberty and Freedom are the official names of the adults, but Glacier Gardens uses Momma and Poppa on their website.

Adults are back - 1 on April 18 and both on April 22; as of May 5, they appear to be using a new nest a bit further from the cam tree; the cam operator will try to trim some branches on the cam tree to provide a better look. Glacier Gardens thinks there is at least one egg as of May 9, based on the activity of the adults, and they are trying to find a place to move the cam for a better view without disturbing the eagles.
Older eaglet Love slipped from a branch at 10:01 am on August 22 (85 days old) and was observed perched lower in the nest tree - so branching, not an unintentional fledge; Love was not on the lower branch the next morning, and was observed flying into the upper branches of the nest tree a little later on the morning of the 23rd, and has since returned to the nest.

Aurora (F) and Redoubt (M) through 2020

Neither adult returned in 2021; some adult eagles have checked out the nest, but so far no one has moved in.
As of April 28, the pair built a new nest and looked as if they were getting ready to lay eggs by April 17 - but nothing happened. There were other eagles in the area, and perhaps that disrupted them.
As of May 6, the Kenai Facebook page reported that the nest is not being used; there is a nest nearby but the owners of that property don't wish to install a cam.

Ma Delta and Trooper

2022 could be a challenging year - male Trooper hasn't been seen since February 8 and new males are courting Ma.
Another issue - the the tree is old and dying, and the branch holding one of the cams broke in a storm on November 15; the cam held on for another four months, dangling from the base of the branch, and finally fell on March 14. HWF is hoping to replace the nest next summer - link to GoFundMe.
As of April 27, there's a male being seen frequently, but no eggs.
As of May 14, the GoFundMe drive is over halfway to its goal - but we need more help to guarantee a safe nest for next year.
Possibly more sad news - Ma was seem limping on the nest on June 13, and may have reinjured the left leg she broke back in 2014; it's possible that the injury occurred earlier - she appeared to be having trouble walking on the ground on June 10, using her wings for balance a couple of times; as of June 22, she's being seen perched in the usual trees and towers, but hasn't been back to the nest so we can see how she's doing. Ma came to the nest the evening of June 22; it looked to me as if she could put weight briefly on her injured leg to limp without using her wings. As of June 30 we also have a video of her perched beside the nest, and her crop was full in some of the pictures, so she seems to be doing reasonably well.
The male who appears to be her new mate is being called DM, for Delta Male.

new cam for 2021

adults not named yet

This is a new nest built in fall 2020 to replace one that was removed, but the resident pair had other ideas and built a new nest 650 feet away, near the Marina; unfortunately that nest did not produce chicks in 2021, and the male may have died in late March. A pair of eagles which might include the Marina female were visiting the nest starting in early summer, so we are hoping to see activity here in 2022.
More bad luck - the cam stopped working on December 25, 2021, and couldn't be fixed from the ground, so no cam until fall 2022.
As of May 15, a local observer reported that a pair of eagles were using the nest by the Marina, and appeared to be incubating, and may have been feeding one or more chicks as of April 27. The nest is hard to view, but by mid-May the observer wasn't seeing two adults together or any evidence of an adult with chicks in the nest, so the nest may have failed.
Surprise good news - on June 14, local observers spotted two large eaglets in the Marina nest! The nest is very deep, so perhaps the eaglets had to get large and active to be seen.

adults not named?

eaglet Junior
eaglet 2
hawklet Malala (meaning survivor)

I need to do more research - but a young red-tailed hawk was brought in as food on June 4th and has been adopted by the adults.
I'm not sure if the July 10 event was a fledge or a hop-fly to a branch on the tree; not following closely, but as of July 11, haven't seen a report of a longer flight away from the tree yet, and the movement I've seen is more like advanced branching.
Sad, sad news - GROWLS reported that Junior died on July 18; he was electrocuted after flying into a power line shortly after leaving the nest for what was to be the last time; he was 86 days old and had been flying for 8 days. Rest in peace, beautiful young eagle.
The cam was turned off July 30; Malala and the adults were still being seen at the nest occasionally.

Dad (2018's New Dad) and Lady
(official names Duffer & Dimple, or Mr & Mrs D)

The pair prepared a lovely nest and spent time there in 2020 but didn't lay any eggs; 2021 was a repeat of 2020; still hoping....
There's an egg!!
April 16 - it seems that these eagles can't get a break - Dimple is doing a great job incubating the eggs, but Duffer has only been seen a few times (once with blood on the side of his neck/lower head though he seemed basically OK) - and even if he successfully defends the territory, he may have moved past the instinct to help on the nest.
May 3 - an adult some of us think is Duffer is in the area and has come to the nest briefly a couple of times but ignored the eggs; Mom Dimple is doing an amazing job incubating their two eggs, but is taking longer breaks for food and exercise.
May 14 - it's day 34 for the first egg, and so far only Dimple has done any incubation, though we think Duffer is around protecting the area; Dimple has been very dedicated, and I think there's a good chance for them to be successful next year, but I have doubts about any sort of happy outcome this year.
May 28 - it's day 48 for the first egg so we're well past the window for either of them hatching; Dimple is still incubating, though taking longer and longer breaks to care for her own needs; Duffer has been bringing in some nest material from time to time, so I think in time they will both start preparing the nest for next year.
June 3 - the cam stopped working at 8:07 pm, fortunately after any possibility of a hatch, but it would have been interesting to see how long Dimple would continue to incubate, and when the pair start working to prepare the nest for next season. We are hoping both cams can be replaced over the summer.
Cam was back July 4-27, then went down again; the eggs were no longer visible on July 4; both adults were seen working on the nest in July (last seen on July 24).
Cam online again beginning on August 23, both adults seen August 24.

As of March 19, the Hornby Eagle Group Projects Society is reporting that the pair is building a new nest out of sight of the cam and the ground observers.
HEGPS has announced on Facebook that this is the last year they plan to broadcast the cam stream.
July 5 - per HEGPS chat, local observer boonibarb reported that there were two eaglets and at least one was branching (they were hoping eaglets might be seen from the ground once they branch).
I think both fledged by mid-July, and there are videos of them flying on the HEGPS forum.
September 12 - the camera was removed. Hornby was the first eagle cam I watched, back in 2006; it's a new pair on a new nest now, but I'm still finding it hard to say goodbye.

Pa and unnamed female

As far as we know, they didn't nest in 2021 - maybe in 2022?
Observers reported two eagles in the area in late February - maybe?

Pa and Missy

A local observer reported that the eagles were around as of January 28. As of April 13, it appeared that they may be incubating. Feeding behavior was observed April 28 - and there was a glimpse of an eaglet.

Sur (M) & Res (F) (fall 2018 - fall 2021)
SM (Surrey Male) & SF (Surrey Female) (2022 - )

next eaglet will be SR7

Sur and Res returned in the fall as usual, but Sur disappeared after being seen fighting with another male on November 12; the new male brought some food for Res and it looked as if they would become a pair, but she has not been seen since December 23; we began seeing a new female December 31, and as of January 4, it's not obvious if they can get along well enough to become a pair, both seeming a bit headstrong - stay tuned!
As of March 19, we have two adults visiting consistently - but a female sub-adult also spent time on the nest recently. None of the eagles has done any serious work on the nest since Res left.
May 14 - the young adults we're calling NM and NF (new male and new female) have begun to bring a few branches to the nest, giving us hope for next season.
June 19 - the new pair has been here long enough that it no longer makes sense to call them "new"; we aren't going to give them names until we're sure they are committed to nesting (likely next spring), but are now calling them SM (Surrey Male) and SF (Surrey Female).

Dad and Mom

Sierra
Tango

The White Rock pair appears to be building a new nest nearer the water for 2022; fortunately it's visible from the cams - but at a distance so it may be harder to tell when eggs are laid or hatch.
March 23 - first egg laid in the new nest!
Based on when they hatched, I suspect the first egg was laid earlier than we originally thought; the parents delayed incubation since the eggs hatched within a day of each other (the adult was sitting high on the nest the morning of April 29, suggesting there was a chick, but it could have hatched the previous evening) - and since we can't see into the nest, if they weren't incubating the first egg initially, we may not have noticed. Looking back through the activity around March 23rd, they seemed to be incubating fairly consistently after that egg was laid, so it's possible that's the second egg and the first was laid March 20, putting the hatch at days 40 and 37.

Sad news - both eaglets died on June 14; they were 46 days old. Fly free and high, young eagles, far above the sky.
They appeared fine until a day or two earlier, when it was observed that they didn't seem hungry at a feeding; they were sleeping quite a bit, but that's what eaglets do at that age; looking back on the dvr late on the 14th, we realized they hadn't moved in far too long. We suspect avian flu (other nests in that area have lost chicks), and are trying to arrange for a climber to remove the bodies for testing. As of June 19, both adults are active, although the calling of at least one sounds a bit off.
A local observer noted that a crow had been brought to the nest as food a day or two before the chicks died - and that the other crows in that nest died - so the chicks may have caught this highly transmissible flu from eating an infected crow. The slightly older eaglet in one of the neighboring nests died around the same time, although the two chicks on the other side are OK so far. David Hancock reported that as of June 19, only 5 of the 25 known territories in the area have chicks (I don't know what percentage had chicks earlier this month).
We were unable to find a climber to recover the remains of the eaglets.

K51/Fletcher (M) & K55/Sammy (F)

banded ??
32/D (M)/Merrill
55/D (M)/Zak

K51 was the original male when the pair was discovered in 2014 and was there through 2016 (they produced eggs in 2015 and 2016, but none hatched); the pair was not seen in 2017 or 2018. Female K18/Solitaire was there from 2019 through 2020 with an unidentified male (who might have been K51); K18 was seen in the area on January 28, 2021, but they could not confirm that she was part of the pair that incubated for a while in 2021, but didn't have chicks.
Per Dr. Sharpe, they were able to read all but the last digit of K51's leg band from the trail cam pics in January 2022, so they are reasonably certain he's either still there or back; the trail cam stopped working after January, and they are hoping to confirm the complete number in the fall. Also per Dr. Sharpe, "K-18 was last seen [at the nest] in 2020. K-51 had another mate in January [2022], but she was replaced by K-55 at the end of January." With big thanks to "nestorian" Cumbrian from the CHIL Eagle Forum, I believe K55 is probably the 2015 fledgling named Sammy from the Seal Rocks nest (parents K-25/male & K-34/female). Dr. Sharpe mentioned in a follow-up email that the switch to K55 in 2022 happened in less than a day, so it's more possible than I suspected that K18 was replaced just before the eggs were laid in 2021 - though it's also possible that she was the female that year.

The Empire nest was not mentioned in the banding reports, so I'm guessing K51 and his new mate were not successful this year; there will probably be more information when they publish the end of the year report.

On a personal note, I won the right to name K51 in IWS's 2022 Nest Adoption Challenge (those who donate are entered into a drawing for a variety of prizes, including the opportunity to name an eagle or peregrine falcon; most of the eagles available for naming are current-year chicks, but occasionally there is an adult who wasn't previously named, which was the case with K51). The name Fletcher is in memory of my kid brother, who loved the old stories and loved the land where we grew up, which he took over with my blessing when our parents died. The old timers when we were kids in the 1950s called our land the old Fletcher place, after the family that originally settled there around 1800, and my brother always liked the history in that older name for the homestead and the mountain it was on.

July 15 - apparently Fletcher and Sammy raised two eaglets - there is an announcement that they were just named; perhaps there will be info about when they were banded in the final report for the nests. I've added the names at the top of the post.

banded May 21
11/D (F)/Lancer

Some people (including me) are wondering if they lost an egg as it was being laid (or before it was seen) between the two eggs that were observed - 6+ days apart is pretty unusual.
Sad news - one of the eggs broke during the night of March 4-5; based on hatch time, I'm guessing it was the first egg that broke
A bit of excitement - the eaglet got caught on Mom's talons as she was leaving the nest and knocked over the edge mid-afternoon on April 25 (19 days old); fortunately the youngster didn't fall too far, and made it through the night, and Dr. Sharpe was there to rescue it in the morning - and to add some nest rails so the eaglet should be safer in the future.
Per IWS on Facebook, the nest was adopted by Dave and Gina Long with Catalina Falconry, and they allowed students at Avalon Schools to select and vote on a name for the eaglet; Lancer is the name of the school's mascot.
I initially thought that Lancer fledged June 22 at 1:14 pm (77 days) but apparently that wasn't considered a fledge, and the actual date is now June 25.

Akecheta turned 4 in 2020 and didn't have enough instincts to help on the nest; they produced two clutches - but all the eggs were lost to ravens. Akecheta did much better in 2021 but ravens are very smart and very fast, and they got all three eggs, at least two of which were close to hatching.
Keeping fingers crossed....
Added - it worked! What a wonderful year!
It's possible that Ahote's fledge was unintentional - he was hovering very high on a windy day and drifted away from the nest so he came down on a different rock; it took him a couple of days to get back to the nest, which is why I suspect it was unintentional even though he was fledge-age.

53/D (F)/Lilibet
57/D (M)/Victor

(Saving older data for now: Original pair A64(M)/Spirit & A49(F)/Cruz abandoned the nest with a camera and nested elsewhere in 2020 - and a new pair was seen in 2021- male A66/Jim hatched at the Baby's Harbor nest in 2016 and female A98/Glory hatched at the original Fraser Point nest (about 2 miles away) in 2014. As of February 27, 2021, Jim was seen on the cam with Cruz!
Two eaglets were banded May 10, and Dr. Sharpe said Cruz was around but he didn't see the male and hasn't confirmed its identity.)

As of February 19, 2022, it appears that new male A14(M)/Andor is with A49(F)/Cruz at the Fraser Point nest with a cam; Andor is one of the 2017 offspring of A68(M)/Braveheart & A27(F) at the Baby's Harbor nest on Santa Cruz; A68 was a 2010 chick from Pelican Harbor, so a younger sibling of Cruz who was the first chick to hatch at Pelican Harbor, in 2006; I think this makes Andor Cruz's nephew.
July 11 - younger eaglet Victor had appeared to have some issues for a few days, with awkward landings on the nest and trouble holding food to eat, then on July 10 he slipped or fell off the nest (possibly while trying to fly). The nest is only about 8 feet off the ground and he had been flying, but he didn't return to the nest. Observers though he might have an issue with his foot or leg, but Dr. Sharpe said he didn't see evidence of a foot or leg injury, and could be an issue with his back (he also was holding his tail strangely at one point). Dr. Sharpe and an assistant went to the nest today and found Victor under the nest; Victor was quite vocal about being picked up and put in a bag - but the fact the team could do that so quickly suggests he needed rescue (it was less than 10 minutes from their arrival at the nest until they started back). It may be a day (or two) before we know more.
Victor arrived at the Ojai Raptor Center (ORC) late in the evening on July 11 after what must have been a very long day for Dr. Sharpe. His patient number is 22-635. The initial report the next day said he was bright and alert with good body condition and hydration levels (he was in a little stream under the nest when he was rescued, so had access to water after he fell off the nest); x-rays did not show any bone fractures or soft tissue damage (though he'll need a CT scan or MRI to rule out spinal trauma, which apparently doesn't usually show up on x-rays in birds). The test for lead came back negative, though they are giving him something to help remove any other potentially toxic metals that might be in his blood; they are also giving him antifungal medicine and an antibiotic as a precautionary measure.
July 13 update - he had a CT scan and they didn't see anything abnormal, but the results are being sent to a radiologist for further evaluation. He is alert and eating well, but still not able to stand. ORC's July 15 update had great pictures of one of Victor's physical therapy sessions - it looks as if they are using a towel with holes for his leg so the veterinarian can support his weight while he tries to walk - fascinating to watch! They are still waiting for results from tests for West Nile Virus and toxic heavy metals, as well as a general blood panel. (Added - he had a high level of zinc, fortunately already heading down from the initial treatment he received for potential heavy metals.)
July 19 - ORC reported that Victor was found standing for the first time this morning - a huge step in the right direction, though his condition is almost certainly still guarded.
September 19 - Victor was released today on private property on Hollister Ranch, California (he wasn't able to be returned to Santa Cruz for biosecurity reasons); Dr. Sharpe released him, noting that the habitat of the release site was similar to that at Fraser Point where he was rescued. I am crying happy tears as I type. (little heart)

Note for next season - August 29 - IWS reported that Whisk (A-63), one of the 2016 chicks from the Sauces nest, spent much of the spring at the old Fraser Point nest with a banded subadult. Perhaps there will be a new breeding pair in the area next season. (https://www.facebook.com/groups/ChannelIslandEagleLovers/posts/5790641617670673/)

The cam was down from January 30 - February 17, and there was one egg when the cam started streaming again; given past history, it's likely there were additional eggs laid that didn't survive, and we won't know approximately when that egg was laid until it hatches.
Folks on Chat reported that the egg may have been punctured by the talon of one of the adults around March 7-9; whether or not that was the cause, the egg didn't hatch; if it was laid on February 17, March 29 would have been 40 days, and it's likely the hatch window ended before that.
It looks as if they are still incubating as of April 16.
May 14 - a scrub jay broke the egg; it was at least 86 days after it was laid, and male Jak was still incubating part of the time.

Sad news March 5 - one of the eggs broke or collapsed during the night; observers think it may be the first one laid; it's possible that a stick fell on it during a quick shift change during a wind storm.
Hatch dates indicate the second hatch is almost certainly from egg #3; the first might have been either egg 1 or egg 2, but two seems slightly more likely.

FSV46

Sad news from Fort St. Vrain - a raccoon came into the nest the evening of May 23rd when the chicks were alone; 6-week-old FSV45 scared it off the first time, but it returned and grabbed the feisty young eaglet and dragged it off the nest even though at least one adult had arrived by then and was flying at the raccoon. Wildlife officials found what was left of the eaglet in the morning, and took the remains for testing for the avian flu. Younger FSV46 hunkered down during the incident and is fine, and I believe both adults have been seen - I know Mom spent the night with the remaining eaglet. Rest in peace and power, brave young eagle.

SL2
SL3

As of January 27, the eagles have moved to a new location that is too far from the Nature Center at the Standley Lake Park for a camera, so they will be focusing their camera on Bird Island, with a heron rookery and lots of other wildlife, and hope to have occasional updates from the woman who monitors the nest for the Bird Conservancy and Colorado Parks & Wildlife; they hope to have the Bird Island cam online soon.
Incubation observed February 26; first egg may have been laid a couple of days earlier.
Possibly sad news - the adults both left the nest tree untended and flew off together the morning of April 24, which is not something they would be likely to do if they still had an eaglet, so they may have lost SL2 on the 23rd or 24th.
Update April 25 - Standley Lake Regional Park reported that there were two eaglets being seen above the rim of the nest, about 2-3 weeks old, and both have apparently died; everything was going well and the cause is unknown. Rest in peace, little ones.

DC8
DC9/Takoda

As of May 2021, it appeared that female TFL had been replaced by a younger female who still has some dark feathers on her head; she was initially called V5 (Visitor 5?), and on December 26, 2021, she was given the name Lotus (for Lady of the United States).
Sad news - DC8 did not not survive the hatching process; long-time observer Elfruler reviewed the activity during the hatch and thinks the female accidentally poked the initial pip/cracking area with her talon, interfering with the delicate transition from the support system inside the shell to the systems developing within the chick. As Elf noted, adults don't help the chicks hatch because there are so many processes that need to switch over at exactly the right time - quite miraculous if you think about it. And happily this sort of simple accident is very rare. Fly free, little one, far beyond the sky.

Observers think that Nicholas and Victoria did not return in the fall of 2020, and there was still not a bonded pair as of September 2021; the cam will stay off until it looks as if someone is actually nesting.
The new pair are named Blaze (M) and Abby (F); from the website, I believe Abby was there during 2021 but didn't pick a mate until late in the fall.
Fern's fledge was accidental, but the fledgling made a great recovery; lots of cams and great cam operators - videos show both fledges from all sorts of perspectives.
There were pictures of one fledgling posted several days between June 9 and June 24, but no indication if it was the same one each time or if they were taking turns; we know both were around for over a month after fledging, and seemed to be doing well, and the cam is being turned off July 1 because they believe the fledglings are off exploring the world.

R3

Cam was down when the 3rd egg was laid.
Sad news - the third chick died the same day it hatched; no obvious reason.
With big thanks to the folks on the Chat for this cam and the Wildlife Rescue of Dade County facebook page, I found fledge dates for the two eaglets - and discovered that R2's fledge was a bit unconventional. She was seen in the nest with fishing line wrapped around one leg on the evening of March 25th, and a team went up to rescue her the next morning - but she flew off strongly as they approached in a ladder truck, breaking the line that had held her. She still had quite a bit of line wrapped around the leg, and luckily they were able to find her and catch her later that day. She spent the night in rehab (which is probably when they assessed her gender because the report called her "she"), and the next day, March 27, she was returned to the nest. I believe she waited at least a few days before taking a more intentional flight, but as of April 16, both are still returning to the nest and looking good.
R2 was still being fed at the nest on June 12 (161 days old); I haven't found any information about when R1 was last seen.

didn't hatch

adults Starr(F), Valor I & Valor II

As of March 19, it's been a very different season so far; there is a camera watching from a distance, so not always easy to tell who is who. All three eagles were back this spring, but some local observers think Valor I nested with a different female (nicknamed Jolene) though still sometimes returning to the nest area; there was at least one egg (likely more but we can't see into the nest), probably fathered by Valor II (both males mated with Starr in previous years). The eggs have been left alone quite a lot for the last few days and there was a juvenile eagle on the nest at one point who may have eaten one or more of the eggs; one of the adults was seen incubating afterwards, but sometimes they do that for a little while even if there are no eggs. Hard to know what may happen next, but happily there are a number of excellent local observers and cam watchers, so hopefully we'll learn more as time goes by.

ND15
ND16
ND17 (M?)

The in-nest cam doesn't show the whole nest so hard to know if someone has fledged or is on one of the edges.
Hatch dates are when they were seen - #3 split their shell at 5:26 pm the evening before, so may have hatched on the 4th though we didn't see the chick until the next morning.
Part of the nest collapsed at 3:43 pm on June 21; ND15 and ND16 jumped/flew up as 1/3 of the nest fell (it looked as if an eaglet had just jumped down from branching, possibly triggering the break) while ND17 was on the part that didn't fall. It looks as if ND15 fledged as it fell and was seen perched nearby and soaring afterwards; ND16 was found branching and has since returned to the part of the nest that remains. Video of the collapse - https://youtu.be/FICBBXv6veY.
This is a strange coincidence - June 22, the day after part of the nest collapsed, ND15 and ND16 were branching side by side - and the branch broke! ND15 flew off strongly, ND16 flew downward, making it an unintentional fledge for ND16. As of late afternoon on June 23rd, ND15 is back on the nest but ND16 hasn't been seen; we're hoping ND16 will be back soon - and that no more parts of the tree break!
June 27 - ND16 made it back to the nest on June 25th, flying well but (like many new fledglings) having some trouble with landings. All three were together on the nest on the 27th - and then ND17 slipped on the edge for the third unintentional fledge here (parts of the nest are continuing to break off); as of 4 pm, a local observer reported that ND17 had been found on the ground beneath the nest tree and appeared OK, though it's too soon to be sure; appropriate authorities have been notified and park staff is trying to keep an eye on the eaglet from a distance so the eaglet will feel safe and hopefully make their own way back like ND16 did.
June 30 - based on observations this morning, the local rehabbers involved felt a wellness check on ND17 was appropriate, and HD17 was found and taken for a checkup by Humane Indiana Wildlife. ND17 was found to be severely emaciated, as well as dehydrated (partly because the parents may not have been feeding him adequately on the ground, and probably partly because he sometimes didn't get as much food as his older siblings, as is often the case when there are three eaglets).
A series of tests happily ruled out lead poisoning, West Nile virus, and other conditions that might have contributed to his being behind in size and development. By July 9, he had gained half a pound (from just under 6 pounds to just over 6.5 pounds. It was reported that he had a lot of stress bars on his flight feathers, possibly because he didn't get as much food as he needed while the feathers were developing, and he was only flying short distance and going no higher than 5 feet off the ground (his siblings were flying around after their parents then). The next update from Humane Indiana was July 14, when ND17 was 100 days old - and he had improved a lot, and was flying strongly in their 100-foot flight enclosure, and going up to the highest perches.
Good news! ND17 was released back in the area on July 20; reports from the rehab used male pronouns so I'm tentatively saying he's a male, though I suspect that's based on size, not a blood test. There's a video of his release and more information and a second video in the comments here - https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=409683901195682.
ND17 stayed in the territory for another month, being fed by the parents and learning to be an eagle; observers think ND15 left first, and the other two stayed around until August 24-25.

A happy year!

Male Justice disappeared after fighting with an intruder in spring 2021; I think Liberty is still around, as is a male who is not Justice. We all miss Justice - and are curious to see what happens next.
As of June 23, observers are reporting that Liberty has been seen with several males, one of whom might have been Justice, but she did not lay any eggs this year.

Mom Decorah & DM2

next eaglet will be D40

The eagles have a new nest out of sight of the cams, so there may not be much information this year.
As of April 17, I need to do more research, but the eagles have eggs in their new nest (known as N3), there are geese with 6 eggs in one of their old nests with a cam (nest N2B) (laid 3/24, 3/25, 3/27, 3/29, 2/30 and 4/1), and there may be a new pair of eagles interested in the new starter nest they built near the fish hatchery at the N1 site. The new pair look young (female especially has shading on the head); and will get their own entry if they are still there next year (or if they lay eggs - but it's late for that).
Sad news - Raptor Resource Project has reported that the adults were no longer incubating on April 19, though they were on the 17th; without a camera on N3, we don't know what may have happened, though there is talk of sending a drone up to check the nest; the 19th is a bit over 4 weeks from when the first egg was laid.
July 3 update - RRP has named the new pair at the nest near the hatchery, so I'm adding them to my table - see next entry.

Per Elfruler Elf (in Bald Eagles 101 on Facebook), there was a bad snowstorm on March 12, and the eagles abandoned the eggs; there were apparently also intruders in the area. Surprisingly, the pair has a second clutch - and so far it all seems to be going well. I admit that I'm embarrassed that I'm not more connected to this nest in my home state - but there's that "hours in the day" thing.

This is a pair of eagles that nest near me; even though dates will be approximate, I'm adding them to this table for my own reference purposes. Their nest is a bit unique in that it's on an osprey platform on a small island in the Sasanoa River. My normal viewing point is on a bridge about 3/10 of a mile from the nest.

There are two streaming cams - with sound - new for the 2020 nesting season! The nest was not used in 2020 or 2021 - still hoping.
As of March 3, there are no eagles, but a pair of great horned owls are visiting the nest.

Chandler (M) and Hope (F)

PT5

There is no infrared, so we don't know exactly when the 3rd egg was laid.
Sad news - the first egg began hatching March 16 but appeared to become a bit crushed during the process and failed to complete the hatch; the remains were apparently buried during the night of the 16-17th, and then moved out of the nest cup the morning of the 18th.
(In a typical hatch, the chick pecks its way around the egg then pushes the two halves apart, but sometimes they keep pecking at the section of egg in front of them until they make a large enough hole to get out - and I was hoping that was what was happening here; it does seem to take longer and probably requires more energy - and sadly it doesn't always work. There could also have been some sort of defect with the chick or the shell - happily not common, but it does happen.)
Cam was offline when second egg hatched; chick looked dry when seen.
PT5 fledged while the cams were offline and wasn't seen at the nest again once they came back up; the adults didn't spend a lot of time on the nest once the eaglet was safe alone so it's like PT5 perched with them after fledging (it's my impression that is not uncommon for solo chicks, especially where the nest is hot and the adults likely have a pleasant spot near the water)

The new male is being called Harry on Facebook; still quite a few dark feathers on the head
Sad news here - male Harry was last seen on April 26; there were other eagles in the area, but we don't know if he was in a fight, or what happened. Mom Nancy was doing the best she could, but the eaglets are only a little over a month old - in the awkward stage where they are growing fast and need lots of food but haven't yet got enough size or feathers to be OK on their own for too long if the weather is bad. Older eaglet E1, doing what he needed to do to survive, began attacking younger sibling E2, and this afternoon (April 30), managed to push the younger chick off the nest; a rescue team was at the site almost immediately, but it was a long way down, and as they assessed the young one's injuries, it was obvious that there were major injuries and signs of internal trauma; in their words "Because of the very poor prognosis due to the complex fracture and severely progressing signs of internal trauma, the young bird was humanely euthanized to alleviate suffering." Rest in peace and power, young one, and fly free forever, far beyond the sky.
E1 was banded on May 6; she(?) weighed almost 9 pounds (at 6 weeks old), and measurements suggest she is a female.
Quickly looking back on Facebook, I found reports that E1 was seen on July 28 and didn't quickly see reports of any later visits.

We don't know which egg didn't hatch.
More sad news - observers haven't seen two eaglets since April 15 or maybe 16; there was a bad storm for two days before that - both were seen afterwards, but it's possible the weather was a factor. We don't know which one was lost, but it's likely that it was the younger one, since it was less than a week old during the storm, so more vulnerable to the cold and possibly needing more feedings than it received. Fly free, little one.
Even more sad news - observers are reporting on April 27 that they aren't seeing the remaining eaglet; an adult was eating on the nest, and normally the chick would have come over or done some serious peeping; that didn't happen, so I think we probably lost the chick during the night. Fly free and far, little one.

In mid-December 2021, a branch from the nest tree fell onto the nearby cam tree, knocking that tree (and the camera) down; the nest itself is fine (though the tree is old enough that they decided a year ago they shouldn't climb it to replace the cam), but as of January 8, the folks involved are still assessing whether there's another tree where they can safely install a cam.

Observers on Facebook saw what looked like a pip in the third egg, and said it appeared that part of the shell from the second egg covered that part of the third egg, making it too hard for the eaglet to break through. I wondered about the fact that the first egg didn't hatch until day 41 - but looking back, day 40 is common for this pair, and the first egg was laid in the evening and hatched in the morning, so really 40-1/2 days.
July 22 - per update on Facebook, one of the fledglings got into a small courtyard at the nearby school and couldn't get out; happily the appropriate people were contacted quickly and were able to capture and release the youngster; they think from the markings that it was R21/Spirit - and believe Spirit is female.

new cam for 2022
Bonnie and Clyde

J-Lo (for local news person John Lomax in honor of his retirement)
#2

Adding background in January 2023 (thanks, Wanda!) - The nest is on conservancy land within the city limits of Cincinnati, Ohio, and the territory has been occupied for years. Five years ago, one of the original pair was found dead on the side of the road after being hit by car.  The surviving eagle of the pair found a new mate, and that is who Bonnie & Clyde are.  They actually built a new nest 300 yards from the original one that was used with the previous mate that passed away, & that has been the nest used since then. According to the website, they fledged three chicks in 2020 and 2021. They laid three eggs in 2022 and courtesy of elfruler's great records, I learned that the third egg broke on March 2. The other two eggs hatched, but sadly the younger chick died April 2 or 3; there didn't appear to be a shortage of food - but it's possible the younger chick had trouble getting to the food, or may have had a health issue or failure to thrive; happily the remaining chick fledged successfully.

(2021 eaglet OH-1 was named Erie and fledged 6/24/21)

AEF reported on 1/1/23 that the three eaglets fledged successfully and had been observed playing in the pond below the nest and elsewhere in the area after the fledge; they provided the names for the eaglets, but I'm not sure if they were in order of hatch.

Sponsored by Lorain County Metro Parks

The eagles moved (maybe in 2019?) and the folks at Lorain County Metro Parks said the new nest was too far for a good cam feed; there are occasional updates on Facebook.
Not finding any info for 2022.

new for 2022 from George Miksch Sutton Avian Research Center

This nest is a couple of hours north of the one in Sequoyah NWR.

Since we don't have the times the eggs were laid or hatched, it's possible that the third hatch was a little closer than it appeared - it's quite unusual for the third egg to take longer to hatch than the second.
Sad news - the youngest chick wasn't moving the morning of April 11, though it was active the day before; it was much smaller, and the cam doesn't have a rollback/dvr feature or a large following, so few details. Fly free, little one.
The Sutton Center reported that the two remaining eaglets fledged in mid-June.

Just saw on Facebook that they were originally named Elmo and Anke, and they may be changing Elmo to Elma because she is large and likely female; Anke is also reported to be large; not sure which is the older one - will need to research.

Little Moe died sometime before dawn on April 6; the tiny one tried very hard, but a cold rain and not enough room to keep all four warm was the final challenge they couldn't quite meet; rest in peace and power, tiny one, and fly free, far above the sky.
I'm not sure which order the chicks fledged; observers thought the oldest fledged first, and it may have been the youngest who accidentally fledged on the 5th; all were flying by the 14th.

Adding this to my list for 2022

adults named Irvin and Claire (named by US Steel employees)

USS4/Rosie
USS5

History: the camera is at US Steel's Mon Valley Works–Irvin Plant in West Mifflin (near Pittsburgh); the nest is on the Monongahela River (it's about 6 miles from the Pittsburgh Hays nest on the same river). The nest was built in 2019, and there was one confirmed fledge in 2020 and two in 2021.
USS5 fledged on June 26 and accidentally knocked its sibling off the nest in the process; USS4 hadn't been practicing as much as the other one, and the cam showed that some of the eaglet's flight feathers were apparently damaged in the fall so the eaglet was having trouble trying to fly; the youngster was rescued on June 27; it had lost six primary feathers and all of its tail feathers - so it will probably be in rehab for a year or so until the feathers grow back and the young eagle is flying strongly. Fledgling USS5 actually assisted in the rescue of USS4 - the fledgling had remained perched over the sibling's location while the rescue team was searching, and they found the eaglet when they checked the area under the fledgling's tree.
July 4 - I watched the cam briefly and saw an adult arrive with food, and as soon as the adult held the food up to move it on the nest, I heard loud screeping, and USS5 flew in strongly to claim the food - looking good!
Update on USS4 - testing while in rehab determined that the eaglet was female, and she was named Rosie. A process known as imping was used to repair her damaged wing feathers, and her tail feathers mostly grew back on their own. She was released October 20 near Pymatuning Reservoir. Good luck, Rosie - fly far and free!

The link changes - if you get a "not streaming" message on YouTube, search for Dale Hollow Eagle Cam
Sad news - all three had a good feeding early on the morning of March 16, but there was no more food for almost 12 hours, with a meal arriving after dark and I think all of them getting some and the parents both doing some feeding. It was 2:29 pm before any food arrived on March 17, and the oldest one got all of it. I think there was a second fish a little after 6 pm, and again the oldest went for the food and put the younger ones into submission if they tried to approach. When the feeding was over, the adult left and DH14 spent some time attacking the two younger chicks; oldest DH14 was asleep when an adult returned, and the younger ones may have gotten a few bites but there wasn't much left. It's possible that there were intruders in the area who kept them too busy to get food, or that something had disrupted the fishing - it doesn't take much to upset the delicate balance in a nest with fast-growing chicks. On March 18, DH14 got all of the morning food delivery; the two younger chicks didn't even try to approach - but still were attacked by the older one; DH16 was 3 days younger and much smaller so got the worst of that. It was windy and rainy part of the time the three chicks were alone on the nest. An adult brought a fish in the early afternoon, and again the oldest got it all and attacked middle chick DH15 for glancing over. DH14 attacked little DH16 several times in the late afternoon, to the point that it looked as if the older one was trying to feed on the little one (the oldest one was only 3 weeks old, so not old enough to self-feed, but with the instinct to try - my heart aches for the little one, and for all those who were watching). DH16 stopped breathing at 7:30 pm - rest in peace little one and fly free, far beyond the sky.

BC22

(the cam is on the same page as Johnson City - scroll down)

Added May 7, 2023 - from reports on the ETSU Eagle Cams Facebook page, the last confirmed sighting of male Eugene was around 7 am on April 13, 2022, when the eaglets were about 3 weeks old; there had been intruders in the area, and it's possible that Eugene was injured or killed defending the nest, but we'll never know for sure what happened to him. Frances successfully raised their two chicks, though there were some scary moments when she was unable to provide food while defending the territory.
A male who was not Eugene made a brief visit to the nest on April 16, and happily did not threaten the eaglets; some observers believe this is the male who became Frances's mate for 2023.
BC22 remained in the area until August 1; both were on the nest on July 18; there may have been additional sightings but those were the last ones I found quickly.

No live cam this year - not enough donations to buy new cameras, and the one that remains is blurry; it is being monitored and updates posted. As of March 6 they reported they thought only two of the eggs had hatched, though they hadn't been able to get a picture to share. The two eaglets were looking great in pictures posted on May 4, and I've learned both fledged successfully, though I don't have details yet (July 4).

adults Grant (M) and Glenda (F)
Glenda has a fracture close to the left elbow and arthritis in the elbow; Grant has a fracture in the left wrist; both are permanently disabled and non-releasable.

next eaglet will be GG4

Per the AEF website, there were no eggs laid in 2021
As of March 12, no eggs yet; they are having issues with the cam but hope to have it back soon.
Per AEF, the intense storms in April damaged Grant and Glenda's aviary, and Grant managed to slip out; he was spotted briefly later in the spring, and their habitat had been kept as natural and wild as possible, so AEF is optimistic that even with his wing injury, he's able to find the food he needs to survive; Glenda was moved to the female aviary.
The pair had been together since 2018, and successfully raised two eaglets.
Update - as of September 13, 2022, Glenda is listed as being in the female aviary and Grant is not mentioned - so we will hope he's happily living free.

new cam for 2022

adults Honor (M) and Braveheart (F)
Honor and Braveheart are a bonded pair of non-releasable eagles who were one of four pairs transferred to AEF from the San Francisco Zoo in 2007; while at the zoo, they were part of the captive breeding program that provided eaglets to the Institute for Wildlife Studies as part of the bald eagle recovery project on the Channel Islands off the coast of California. Per PM from AEF, as of July 2022, Braveheart is 27 and Honor is 34; not sure if there were eggs, but definitely no chicks.

next eaglet will be ???

As of July 1, I'm not seeing any information as to if they laid eggs or raised eaglets this year; I think they were chosen to be featured on cam after Grant escaped from his damaged aviary in April 2022, and we may learn more about them next year.

other news from Dollywood

April 26, 2022 - I just found a video from September 2020 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xu7vqRRlBhM) where AEF explained that because bald eagles were no longer endangered and the number of pairs was continuing to grow, they were no longer permitted to encourage new breeding pairs, though the 5 bonded pairs they then had at Dollywood would continue to be together and may produce additional chicks, though they are all 20+ years old, so not as fertile as when they were young. AEF will still provide a home for non-releasable bald eagles, but they will have two large aviaries, one for males and one for females. Their spokesperson said they would be adjacent to each other so eagles who had been in the "pick a mate" enclosure would still be able to see and exchange calls with each other, but she said none of the eagles being separated had formed true pair bonds but just seemed to enjoy each other's company. Definitely a bit of a change - and an explanation for why we've been hearing less about the pairs there recently.

next eaglet will be SM19

As of November 2020, AEF said the cam isn't streaming and there are no updates but they are still in the area with a new nest.
Still no news as of March 10, 2022.

As of April 26 both fledglings are still around, but are not spending much time at the nest, so probably close to the time they will leave the area. No one was at the nest the night of April 29, and I didn't see any reports of sightings after that.
July 1 - cam owner posted that they may be getting fiber optic cable, so there's a chance the cam will be live for 2023!

adults Dad Norfolk (M) and Lady Jane

They didn't appear to be nesting before January 16, so I'm doubting that the February 2 activity was feeding - but it's hard to be sure without a cam so I'll leave both notes until we get more data.
Sad news - per reports from local observers on Facebook, there was at least one chick - but something happened (maybe an owl attack?) around March 20; both adults are OK, but they stopped bringing food to the nest and defending it, and the remains of an eaglet was found under the nest tree. Rest in peace, little one.

adults Smitty (M) and Bella
(the male is known as Shep on some forums)

There was a rocky start to the season - female Bella appeared on the nest on February 1st with blood and older stains on her head and neck. On February 2nd, a new female began appearing at the nest and mating with Smitty; she had a few dark feathers in her tail, suggesting she was a young adult. She was around for a couple of weeks, and then, on February 19, Bella returned! As of March 11, there are no eggs yet, but there is still time for the equivalent of a second clutch. As of April 26, Bella and Smitty are still around, but no eggs.
July 2 - no eggs this year, but Smitty and Bella are still the resident pair, and we have hopes for next year.

next eaglet will be E7

Mahlori (M) and Makatsa (F)

Juve 2022

(It's normal for only one eaglet to survive; the younger is usually killed by the older within a few days of hatching. It's also normal for juveniles to stay in their parents' territory for about 3 months after fledging, being fed and learning to hunt.)
The Black Eagle Project Roodekrans posted on May 31 that the second chick hatched and inevitably died due to sublicide; I'll use approximate dates.
The Black Eagle Project Roodekrans (BEPR) announced that they are now following the lead of other conservationists around the world and will not be giving a "pet" name to the juvenile, who will be known as Juve 2022. They said the adults would continue to have names because they were permanent residents.

SE-29
SE-30 (M?)

SE-29 returned to the nest after fledging, then was in the area for a few days and returned to the nest for food on October 7; the youngster wasn't seen for a couple of days, and was found injured on October 10 by one of the eaglecam team in a nearby residential area; it appeared that SE29 had flown into a window or wall while being chased by currawongs; it appears that SE29 broke his lower left leg when he crash landed after flying into the building. SE-30 had been flying around since fledging, though not getting very high, and was found on the ground on October 21st and taken for a vet assessment; the initial report showed no fractures or other injuries but found the young eagle severely thin; as of January 4, 2023, SE-30 was flying well and gaining strength, and the plan is for him to be taught to hunt food and then be released, probably with a tracker like that SE-27 had in 2021; they believe he is male based on size. Sadly the outcome for SE-29 was not good; the break in the leg was a nasty one in a location that made it very hard to stabilize, but they tried because he was young and otherwise healthy; unfortunately, when they removed the devices that had been holding the leg together, some of the tendons no longer worked correctly and there was joint damage in the area; it became clear the foot would never work, and a raptor needs working feet to live in the wild, so they made the hard decision to euthanize SE-29; rest in peace, brave young eagle, and may your spirit soar where you cannot.
April 7 2023 - some good news - SE30 was recently released and has a tracker, similar to older sibling SE27; it will be interesting to see if they follow similar paths.
