(these are very approximate as different cams - and the presence of ground observers - make the results for some nests much more accurate than for others)

Look for eggs in early or mid April, chicks in mid May

Look for eggs in late March, chicks in late April to early May

(These are the last pictures I found with an eaglet in the nest.)

Last time both were seen together was April 23 (17 weeks old)

I didn't check again until May 20 - parents were around May 20 & 21, but no fledgling.

I haven't seen them or found any pictures of the eaglets in the nest after July 1.
Friends of Blackwater stopped broadcasting their Eagle Cam for the season in mid-July.

These pictures were taken as the tree went down in a storm; the fledgling and parents were fine. The fledgling was last seen in the area on August 18 (18-1/2 weeks); I'm not sure if SharonFeeney was able to look for the eagles again after that.

JudyB: I saw both parents but neither fledgling while I was watching on June 25. The next time I checked, the camera was down. They're not going to fix it - the fledglings are not spending much time in the nest these days. I mentioned to Alan of the Sutton Center that I was hoping to see how long they did hang around before heading off. This is his reply:

Alan from Sutton Avian Research Center: I too was hoping to see how long they stayed around. Some juvenile eagles we released in Oklahoma years ago all left the state for the Great Lakes/Canada in early June. I followed one by its radio-telemetry and found others in the same area by that method. I think the juveniles go north their first summer to escape the heat, then return to their natal areas in the late fall---at least at this latitude. The Bald Eagles in Florida did the same thing. When the heat comes, as it has done just this week, I wish I had wings too.
