BALD EAGLE CHICKS:

  • Mating - Think of St Valentine's Day, February 14 (a suitable time for mating) -- but include the two weeks before and after this date -- in other words, the whole month of February. Eagles are also seen mating in the first half of March, just a week or two before laying eggs But at no other times in the year.
     

  • Final Nest Preparation - A second flurry of nest-preparation takes place from mid-February to mid-March -- adding more branches, followed by soft materials like dry grass and moss.
     

  • Egg Laying - March 25, plus or minus one week. A second egg 2 or 3 days later.
     

  • Brooding - The male and female take turns sitting on the eggs for approximately 35 days -- from March 25 to May 1, plus or minus one week. One could consider the month of April as the “brooding” month.
     

  • Chicks Hatch - May 1, plus or minus one week.
     

  • Chick Development - Peeps can be heard by June 10 -- sitting on edge of nest by June 20 -- flapping wings by June 25 -- flapping & jumping by July 10
