Good Morning!
5.59Am Adult Eagle lands at the top of the branching branch. It stays there for some time before dropping to the nest and appears to be waiting, looking into the darkness of the forest. It moves back to the branching branch and back once again to the nest before moving to the branching branch for the last time and flies off at 6.21Am. It is not Mom

Good Evening!
6.02.25Am-6.12.03Am
This morning the Adult eagle that has been coming for the past two mornings appears to have stayed at the nest tree high up on the branching branch though it is pretty hard to see a fly in from the angle the cam is in. It dropped to the nest and then went back up the branching branch. Minutes later another Adult eagle flies in and lands on the nest.
The male drops back to the nest for a bit, then returns to the branching branch and flies off. The female adult eagle moves to the branching branch not long after and flies off in the direction the male went.
The pair do not seem to be familiar with each other as we see with other pairs that have been together for a while. Time will tell

Good Morning!
Article From August 11 2020 From Conserve Wildlife Foundation of NJ
Nest monitor Diane Cook keeps an eye on the cam. She reports that, "The last 2 mornings 2 adult eagles visited the remains of the nest. Looking at them this morning, side by side, it does appear there was 1 female (left in the screenshot) and 1 male. He arrived first, about 6:13, landing on the branch. About 1 minute later, she landed in the nest, and he made his way down to her. It was peaceful and quiet. She left first, followed by him." She was not able to confirm if the male was banded. We are waiting to see if A/59 returns. It is good news that two adults are at the nest and will hopefully rebuild for next season.
Diane Cook has been watching this nest for years and though I do have my own opinion as to if one of these Adults is Mom I will leave it up to the Conserve Wildlife Foundation Of NJ to positively identify if one of them is Mom.
* I will be referring to the two Adult Eagles as the Male or Female based on the size of them

6.00Am - 6.14Am
Another visit from the two Adult Eagles this morning. The first Adult arrives landing on the branching branch and then dropping to the nest. Cam Op is here this morning and we get close-ups of the Adult. No bands and it appears to be the male.
The Adult moves back to the branching branch and minutes later we see the second Adult Eagle fly by and lands on the nest. Cam Op zooms in and this Adult has no bands either.
The Adult Eagle on the branching branch soon joins the other Adult on the nest and they appear to be accessing the nest.
The second Adult Eagle moves to the branching branch and the Male joins her shortly after. The female vocals and the male flies off. The female flies off shortly after in the same direction as the male.
6.09Am One of the Adults lands on the lower branch and flies off again
6.09.27Am One of the Adults lands back at the nest bringing a branch with it. It works on placing it
before moving back to the branching branch and flying off

Good Evening!
What a surprise today as our pair of Adult Eagles arrived at the nest and bonded on the branching branch. I uploaded a video of it with the following description to my thoughts on it
As we all wonder what the future will be here at the Duke Farms Eagles Nest we got a glimpse of what the future might bring with two Adults Eagles bonding on the branching branch this morning. The female could be Mom, with markings a lot like her but what puzzles me is her actions. Mom always being the Queen of sticks and has made no attempt to rebuild the nest which she always is ready to do. Now the male not being our beloved Dad may have brought on this change in her. One way or another it is good to see a pair at the nest and a new season in the makings and hopefully with Mom

Good Evening!
It has been 8 days since the pair of Adult Eagles have visited the nest. Early this morning the Male arrives first and then the Female. The Male appears interested in removing some of the foliage that has overtaken the nest but the Female is not so interested and moves to the branching branch. The Male follows and they bond on the branching branch. The Cam Op zooms in just missing getting close-ups of the Male but does of the Female. I can say I am 99.9% sure this is Mom. The Cam Op is taking a good look at her too. The Female stays for a while longer and eventually flies off.

6.16.49Am - 6.27.25Am
The Male arrived first this morning on the branching branch and then slowly down the branch to the nest. It is assessing the nest when Mom lands almost missing the nest because it is dark and the Male does not move over. The Male makes its way back to the branching branch while Mom now assesses the nest. She moves to the branching branch and the Male flies off minutes later. Mom stays a bit longer and then flies off as well

Re: Duke Farms, NJ -- 2020-2023
The Male arrived early this morning landing on the branching branch. He slowly walks down the branch finally landing on the nest. Couple minutes later here comes Mom. Crash. The Male doesn't even move for her and she is barely on the nest. Hey Mr. Male what are you thinking, that is your lady there? Dad would never have done that. Mom, you need to teach this guy some manners. - with Speech Bubbles
