Summary

[edit]
Description Bald eagles begin nesting on Seedskadee NWR when winter still grips the landscape. This pair has been repairing its nest since early February and the famale started incubating its first egg about February 19th. She will lay an egg every 2 to 3 days up to 3 eggs total. She will begin incubation with the first egg, resulting in eaglets that hatch 2 to 3 days apart. Incubation lasts 34 to 36 days, with the first egg laid hatching first, then followed by the second, and the third. The eaglets will remain in the nest 56 to 98 days. This pair has produced many eaglets over the years, fledging 3 eaglets each year in 2013 and 2014. The Refuge hosts an additional 6 to 7 nesting pairs each year. Typicially one or more nests blow down every few years in high wind events, and the nest needs to be rebuilt from scratch. Photo: Tom Koerner/USFWS
