EagleCam Pair Preparing Nest for Egg-Laying

(Learfield News/St. Paul, MN) – The EagleCam pair is spending more time at their nest, adding grasses and new sticks, a strong sign they’re preparing for egg-laying.

The DNR (Department of Natural Resources) says viewers can expect more courtship behavior and increased nest activity in the coming weeks.

In past seasons, eggs have typically been laid in mid-February.

Female bald eagles usually lay one to three eggs.

Both parents share incubation duties.

Eggs generally hatch after 34 to 39 days, meaning signs of a chick could appear by mid-March.

You can watch the nest live on the Minnesota DNR website (click here) and YouTube channel.
