2019 Eaglet Information Table

Last March 18, 2020

Work in progress - please let me know if something is wrong or a link doesn't work!

the symbol ~ is used to mean about or approximately; the symbol ≤ is used to mean on or before
times are local time at the nest; gender with a ? means likely but not proven with blood tests

If the cam doesn't look into the nest bowl, the hatch date for the first eaglet is based on the behavior of the parents and that of subsequent eaglets is based partly on an assumption of about 3 days between hatchings and partly on the number of days between sighting of the first chick and sighting of subsequent chicks; nests may only be checked once a week after fledging, so the fledgling may have been around for several days after it was last seen on cam by us.

I use 35 days from the date the egg was laid as a time to begin to look for a hatch; the first egg often hatches 37-39 or even 40 days after it was laid; the middle egg of three is often 36-38 days; and the second of two or third of three is often 35-36 days - but 34-40 days is not unlikely, and 33-41 might be possible.

Please check About the Nests for more information about the history of the various pairs and pictures of the nests.

The nest is deep and the cam is viewing it from the side, so we may not know if there's a second egg (or more) until chicks pop up.

Ma Delta and Trooper

Bella (M?)
Coola (F?)

Pa Delta disappeared partway through the 2018 nesting season; Trooper is the male eagle that arrived later in the nesting season and helped protect the territory.
From Jean's summary: The eaglets "were both seen on the barn roof on the morning of July 24th. Coola flew off and Bella came back to the tree briefly, but left the tree after that. That is the last time we saw Bella and Coola."

Dad (2018's New Dad) and Lady
(official names Duffer & Dimple, or Mr & Mrs D)

Mrs Honeycomb was not seen since a few days after their chick died; a new female and started spending time with Dad at the nest during the summer and is being called Lady until the pair is given a formal name.
Lady disappeared at the end of February and a new female was seen with Dad starting in early March, and they did some work on the nest - and then Lady returned on April 14; things looked promising - they bonded, and worked on the nest - but as of April 27, they haven't laid any eggs. Maybe next year.

Mr Em and Em

Victoria (Vicky)
Albert (Bertie)

The first egg for Em and her new mate was confirmed by their actions in the nest the morning of April 11; the cam angle doesn't show into the nest, so observers will be relying on their actions to know when the egg(s) hatch.
Sad news - the cam sponsors reported that as of July 8, it appeared one of the eaglets had died, but happily the other one is doing well; because of the cam angle and distance, they don't know which one died or what happened; the surviving eaglet is being called Churbles. For purposes of my chart, I'm going with the averages and guessing it was the younger who died, but all we actually know is that only one fledged.

Pa and Lady Lafarge

Because we don't have a cam on their new nest, it's hard to know when things happen; local observers noticed there seemed to be an eagle in the nest whenever they looked starting around March 7 (though some eagles spend time getting comfortable in the nest before the first egg is laid); an observer saw what appeared to be several feedings on April 22 - which is 46 days after March 7 - so my guess is that either the first egg was laid a few days after the 7th, or (more likely) that the first hatch was earlier than the 22nd, or some combination of the two. Hopefully there will be little chicks visible soon!
The first eaglet was seen May 2 and a second was seen May 5; unfortunately, Lady has not been seen since April 30. Pa is doing a great job of caring for his chicks - but they are young and it will be a long haul if Lady doesn't return; the good news is that no injured eagles have been found, and the female she might have tangled with is not hanging around, so she may recover and return - fingers crossed.
Update - July 22 - sadly Lady did not return - and happily Pa came through like a true champion; one eaglet was seen branching on June 18 and both were branching by June 21 - and one of them was flying by July 9 and both by July 16

There may have been someone incubating March 30 (nest appeared empty on March 16); Pa's new mate was on the nest May 1 and Pa was nearby; no sign of a chick or feeding while they were watching, but the female looks high in the nest in the pictures, so maybe.
Our regular observers weren't able to get to the nest again until June 6, when one reported two large eaglets - so hatch by May 1 seems likely

There was a new young pair here in 2017, being called Mr and Mrs BB; they didn't produce eggs that year, but had two chicks in 2018, one of which fledged (the other died of hypothermia); a second younger male was seen in fall 2018, named Shadow because he still had a lot of dark feathers on the head and tail; he became the resident male for 2019; Mrs BB is also known as Jackie
(which band is on which chick based on post by an observer, not an official announcement)
Sad news - younger chick Cookie died May 27 after a night of rain and snow and below-freezing temperatures; he was 6 weeks old - too big to fit under Mom, and not quite old enough to be waterproof. Rest in peace, little one.

The pair did build a new nest in 2018, perhaps to get away from the ravens that were bothering them. The chick was not banded because the tree in not very accessible.

They have been seen near their former nest at Turtle Bay - but at this point we don't know what will happen.

As of February 20, new male M2 has begun incubating the eggs, though only a couple of times so far - but it's a step in the right direction.
Unfortunately that did not last; the eggs were left alone a lot, and several other suitors came and went. And then, on February 27, Justice returned and chased off the current suitor. We don't know what will happen next, but it's great to see him back and looking well.
As of April 27, it appears that Justice hasn't been seen since April 10, and there's a new male being called M6 who has been seen a lot; Liberty is still around.

adults Romeo (M) and Juliet (F)

NE20

This was a tough year. Beginning around December 11, there were indications that there might be intruders in the area, and on December 13, Juliet was observed to have some injuries to her face, likely from a territorial fight. Things seemed to return to normal and she was healing well, though they seemed to be alert - and then Juliet disappeared; she was last seen on December 17. Romeo was amazing, incubating the eggs around the clock, with only brief breaks for food and to stretch his wings. Other females came by (one even tried incubating briefly), but his focus was on the eggs. They were left uncovered more than usual so we knew they might not hatch, and the first one didn't - but the second one began to hatch, with a pip confirmed the morning of December 24, at the outer end of the normal hatch window. I know we shouldn't assign human emotions to eagles, but it felt to me like a frustrating time for Romeo - as the pip got larger and the chick continued the hatch process, he brought food to the nest several times in preparation for the hatch (as males frequently do) - and each time, it was taken by the female who was spending time near the nest; she was in courtship mode and saw it as a food offering - which males frequently provide when a new pair is forming (or as part of the pre-nesting process, to show he'll be a good provider). By about 5 pm on December 25, the chick was almost out of the shell; the male had been gone for a while (likely looking for more food - from what I've seen, males are hard-wired to give priority to providing food for chicks because the female usually does more of the incubation) - and the female came to the nest and likely saw the new chick as another food offering, and killed it and flew off with it. Romeo spent the night on the nest, incubating the remaining egg. The next day, he was in and out of the nest quite a bit, looking tired when he returned and incubated for a while before flying off; and the last time, he didn't come back; he was last seen around 2:30 pm on December 26.
Several eagles (males and females) have been seen at the nest since then, and as of early January, we are waiting to see if a new pair forms - or if Romeo and/or Juliet return, against all odds.
An interesting twist here - one of the eagles showing an interest in this nest has been identified by long-time observers as Samson, one of Romeo & Juliet's chicks from 2013; one of the adults stepped on one of Samson's toes when he was a chick - and the same toe on this adult seems flattened a bit, as did the toe of the chick after the incident (it works fine - just looks a bit odd).
As of April 27, Samson and a female being called A2 seem to be bonding, and may be next year's resident pair.

Mom is still having issues with her left leg, and the foot appears twisted - but it's not stopping her from working on the nest - or producing eggs.
Sad news here - after both eggs happily hatched past the usual hatch window, the second chick apparently never recovered from the hatching process, and was confirmed to have died the morning of February 22; a pip was seen on the 18th, so the hatch took longer than usual, and the weather during and after the hatch was cold and rainy, though the adults did a good job of keeping the nest cup and chicks dry.
More sad news - we're not sure what happened, but the older chick appeared to be either injured or stuck in the nest cup on February 25, and was confirmed to have died on the morning of February 26.
Rest in peace, little ones, and fly free.

The youngest eaglet was accidentally knocked off the nest by one of the older eaglets who was flying up to a branch; the eaglet could be heard under the nest, and local observers reported that he or she appeared healthy and was being fed by the parents.
A number of observers believe E3 returned to the nest June 20th, 2 weeks after the accidental fledge; the other two eaglets had fledged a couple of days earlier, and E2 had returned by then, but E1 had not; I don't believe all three fledglings were seen together, and it's hard to ID fledglings, but observers thought all three were coming to the nest

Mom Decorah & new mate DM2

D32 (M)
D33 (F)

Mom Decorah had a couple of suitors after Dad disappeared in April 2018 (their three chicks fledged successfully - she is a great Mom!), and the one she seems to have settled down with is being called DM2, for Decorah Male 2 (DM1 was an earlier suitor who apparently didn't work out).
Sad news - one of the eggs broke the morning of March 11; observers think it was the first one laid; there was no apparent reason, though there are many things it might have been.
D32 branched at 9:54 am on June 4 (61 days old) and had a slip/accidental fledge that evening while trying to go from one branch to another in the wind; D33 then tried branching but returned to the nest for the night; the next day D33 again went out on a branch and spent much of the day there, before slipping while trying to move around on the branch (59 days at time of accidental fledge); flies were bad in the nest, so it's possible that the chicks were spending more time on branches before they were quite strong enough to get away from the bugs.
D33 was found later that evening and appeared a bit underweight but uninjured, and was taken to a local rehab to be evaluated and stabilized; they found that D33 had many bites from the gnats and was thin, anemic and a bit dehydrated. D33 has been progressing nicely at SOAR and she was moved to a flight pen with 3 other fledglings (including DN9 - see below) in late July to develop her flight skills; the pen also has wading pool where the youngsters can take baths - and practice grabbing thawed frozen fish from the water.
D32 was found in the evening of June 7, 3 days after leaving the nest tree; D32 was also weak, underweight and anemic, with many black fly bites (same bugs, different names); after being stabilized, D32 was also brought to SOAR (Saving Our Avian Resources) on July 9; it was determined that one of the bones in D32's right leg was broken (the tibiotarsus) and the break was very near the ankle, making it difficult to treat, but the folks at SOAR gave it a try, and as of mid-August he seems to be progressing nicely; he is currently rooming with SOAR's educational eagle Decorah, a 2014 eaglet from the same nest who broke his wing soon after fledging and did not heal well enough to be released.
D33 and her 3 flight pen mates were soft-released on September 18, and all left shortly after the window was opened.
As of October 1, D32's leg is healing and he can use his foot, but he's still in rehab.
Update - March 18 2020 - D32 was released from rehab March 3 2020; he was ready earlier but they waited until area ponds thawed and the weather were more temperate.

Mr North & new mate DNF

DN9 (F)
DN10

The original pair were named Mr and Mrs North by the Raptor Resource Project; the original female was there during the summer, but when the cam came back online in the fall, observers realized the female on the nest did not look like Mrs North - and after a more in depth review, that was confirmed; RRP is calling the new female DNF for Decorah North Female, and ask that she not be called Mom North.
The second chick may have hatched earlier than the official time; there was an unofficial sighting at 11:44 am.
Sad news - the younger chick apparently died during the night or early on April 2.
DN9 branched on June 5 (66 days old); there were lots of flies/gnats on the nest pestering him/her, which might have encouraged the move out of the nest; the next day s/he again stepped to the branch and you could see the cloud of flies around him/her - and after a couple of minutes, s/he slipped from the branch; DN9 was initially found in the pasture under the nest; folks from the Raptor Resource Project did a quick assessment, found no injuries and observed that the adults were caring for and defending the eaglet, and left; the next day, having heard the report on D33 (see above), they returned and rescued DN9 for delivery to SOAR; she joined the group of 4 eaglets with D33 and is now also in the flight pen with the wading pool and doing well (as of late July)
D9 and her 3 flight pen mates were soft-released on September 18, and all left shortly after the window was opened, with D9 leading the way.

no cam

This is a pair of eagles that nest near me; even though dates will be approximate, I'm adding them to this table for my own reference purposes. Their nest is a bit unique in that it's on an osprey platform on a small island in the Sasanoa River. My normal viewing point is on a bridge about 3/10 of a mile from the nest.
I haven't been able to get down to check on them much yet this spring, but as of April 27, while we're sometimes seeing one of the adults perched on the platform, I don't think they are nesting on the platform, though they might have a nest nearby.
They definitely did not nest on the platform, but are still in the area.

no cam in 2019; the eagles abandoned the nest we had been watching after a couple of unsuccessful seasons, and the Friends of Blackwater are observing several other nests at the refuge, and hope to place a cam at one of them once the eagles leave for the summer, so with luck we'll have a new cam to watch in 2020.

banded adult female and new male

As of May 3, there are no eggs here. As far as I can tell from various Facebook groups and other sources, the resident pair disappeared around March 30; there had been a raccoon visiting the nest, and other eagles in the area - either of which might have made the pair abandon the nest; there are local photographers who observe the eagles, and they didn't find another nest; it's also possible that the resident pair lost a territorial battle. A new pair of eagles arrived soon after the resident pair left, and are settling in, but they have not yet laid eggs. MN DNR says that's a possibility into May so there may be time - but my guess is no eggs this year.

E/87 appeared to have an accidental fledge, and was not seen again; there was a search a few days later, and staff continued to monitor the area. E88 continued to visit the nest and be fed there for another month, so I sadly think E/87 would have returned to the nest if she survived.

I don't remember where I saw the numbers for the eaglets, but I believe the R is because the nest is at the Redwood Elementary School; I believe the students will name the eaglets.
Per Avon Lake Bald Eagles Nest Facebook page: R12/Washington was knocked from the nest by an owl; the other two fledged shortly afterwards; 2 returned to the nest within a day or two and a third fledgling was seen in the nest area on July 4; the group admin believes it was the one that was knocked from the nest who was not seen after July 4, though also says the eaglets look almost exactly alike, so it's hard to tell who was where - but only two were seen at a time after that.

Thulane (M) and Makatsa (F)

2019 was not a happy year. It started out normally with at least one egg laid (the eagles were again using a nest that was not easy to observe). Then the male Thulane disappeared; he was last seen on June 8, 2019. Makatsa continued to incubate her egg - and it hatched on June 13. We expected it would not survive for long, since she'd need to leave the tiny chick to hunt - but somehow Makatsa managed to provide food for the chick and herself, and keep it protected from the elements. Then, on July 13, a new male eagle was seen in the area - and began courting Makatsa. Unfortunately, his instincts were those of a male looking for a mate and not those of a potential adoptive dad, and on August 4 he killed the 53-day-old eaglet and removed its body from the nest.
The new male and Makatsa are now becoming a fully bonded pair, and the male has been named Mahlori, meaning miracle.

SE-24

Sad news to end the season - SE-23's body was found November 5 by an abandoned railroad track in the woods near the nest; both fledglings were seen with their parents by the river on November 3rd, and both seemed to be doing fine; SE-23's body was recovered for a necropsy.
I'm considering this a successful fledge - s/he was flying for several weeks, and all the reports I've seen suggested both fledglings were doing all the normal fledgling things; if there wasn't an excellent ground team here, we'd never know that SE-23 had died.
The necropsy report showed that SE-23 died of starvation; she was in the area with her parents and one would expect them to provide food, but an observer noted that this was the first time Lady fledged two chicks, so they may have been focused on SE-24 (who appears to be doing well). Rest in peace, young one.
