February 15, 2023

Congratulations everyone, we have our first egg of the 2023 season! The first egg came around 12:30 PM today. The pair has been preparing the nest bole with soft grasses and leaves for a few weeks. The female has been slowing down, spending more time in the nest and the male has been bringing food to her in the nest. These are signs that an egg was imminent. Watch for more eggs in the coming days. Average time between egg laying is 63 hours (between 2-3 days). How many eggs do you think she will lay this year? Tune in and watch!

Thanks Ferenz for the great s’caps:
Found this on their webpage

2023 EagleCam Season

February 21, 2023

On Saturday February 18 just before noon, the female laid her second egg. Her mate has been providing food and trading off incubation duties. The mate is never far away, keeping a watchful eye over the nest for intruders or predators. Both of the eagles have delivered more nesting material in anticipation of the coming snow storm.

Seventeen to twenty-four inches of snow are predicted for the area between today and Thursday morning. The snow will provide insulation for the eggs as they incubate. The eggs are now nestled further down in the soft fur, feathers, leaves and grasses tucked in around them.

Will there be a third egg? Tune in and keep an eye on the bole when the eggs are being turned to see if egg number three emerges this week. In 34 to 39 days, there just might be fuzzy-headed chicks to watch!

MN DNR Eagles ~ Sad News! 💔 One Of The Eggs Has Broken! 3.1.23

Beau is on the nest incubating and our cam operator zooms in on the broken egg off to the side of the nest. Nancy flies in for the switch as Beau takes off for a break. So what happened?

On February 28th, when Beau & Nancy were switching incubation duties, Beau rose with one egg stuck to his brood patch. The brood patch is a bare spot of skin that all nesting adult eagles have.  It allows for the warm skin of the adult's body to be in direct contact with the egg, keeping the eggs at an optimal 99°F. It is not known if the egg was already broken when the male stood up, or if it happened earlier.

There is no indication the remaining egg is broken or infertile. The eagle pair will continue incubating it just as they have been, until about March 23. Since we don't know if the broken egg was the first or second egg, the incubation time frame is less predictable. We will begin egg watch on March 22. The survival rate of bald eagle chicks to fledging (successful flight) is 50%. It is sad and unfortunate to lose an egg, but since there will only be one chick to care for, the survival chances increase dramatically! Hopefully Beau & Nancy's remaining egg will hatch! ♥ Thank you for watching!
