Located on the 2700 acre Duke Farm property in Hillsborough, N.J., this Eagle nest with the same mating pair has been observed on the farm since 2005. In 2008 a camera was setup by Duke Farms in a neighboring sycamore tree 110 feet up, capturing footage of nesting seasons in 2009 and 2010. This camera permits the public to get a unique glimpse of the nesting, feeding and fledgling of Bald Eagles in NJ.

We have been watching another one where the eaglets have already hatched. I’m going to follow this one and hopefully get in on the hatching. Thanks for posting.

Does the daddy ever come back? Or is this bowling night or something?

“The 35 days of incubation duties are shared by both male and female Eagle, but it is the female who spends most of her time on the nest. Trading places on the nest can be a tense time. The brooding parent may have to call for relief, or may be reluctant to leave and have to be pushed off the eggs or young. During incubation, the male Bald Eagle regularly brings green sprigs of conifer branches to the nest. Why he does this, no one knows, but it could be for deodorizing the nest or possibly providing shade for the Eaglets.

“During incubation, 98% of the time one parent remains on the nest; not only to keep the eggs warm but to protect them from squirrels, ravens, and gulls which will break open and eat the eggs. If the adults leave the nest unattended too long, it can be consequential for the eggs. Diverse weather conditions could impact the temperature of the eggs; leaving the eggs nonviable.”

“Wild Bald Eagles may live as long as thirty years. ... Causes of death - Fatal gun shot wounds, electrocution, poisoning, collisions with vehicles, and starvation.”

This is really great! I found another link, I'm no longer sure how, to another nest which has to two (I think there are two.) hatchlings, and one egg to go. And there are links to highlight replays! http://www.ustream.tv/decoraheagles
