2021 Eaglet Information Table

Last Updated May 2, 2022

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.

Liberty and Freedom are the official names of the adults, but Glacier Gardens uses Momma and Poppa on their website.
The cam was not streamed in 2020 due to covid; we don't know what will happen in 2021.
As of May 12, they hope to turn the cam on June 1st, when the Gardens open for the summer; someone who lives nearby reported on Facebook that there were eagles around.
Cam started on June 8.
On June 28 Glacier Gardens announced that they thought the hatch was closer to May 27 than May 20 so I changed the date here.
Last seen dates is when they were last seen at the nest; it's not unusual at this nest for the male to stop coming to the nest when the chicks get large and aggressive, so he was likely still around - and all three may have been in the territory for a while before heading off.

Not sure which egg didn't hatch - normally I'd guess the first, but Ma Delta typically delays incubation for the first egg and didn't really start full-time incubating until the 3rd egg was laid. The eaglets were named for communities in BC.

new cam for 2021

adults not named yet

This is a new nest built to replace one that was removed, but the resident pair had other ideas and built a new nest 650 feet away, near the Marina; unfortunately that nest did not produce chicks, and the male may have died in late March.
A pair of eagles which might include the Marina female were visiting the nest in early summer, so we are hoping to see activity here in 2022.

The nest tree was cut down October 5, 2020, apparently with a permit because of the risk that parts of it might fall down; we're waiting to see what happens next.
Update - as of mid-January, Em and Mr Em appear to be building a new nest in a nearby tree. It's visible to the cam, but no way to see into the nest.
A successful season, but the new nest wasn't that sturdy and came apart around the time the eaglets fledged; it will be interesting to see what the pair does next year.

Pa and unnamed female

Update as of May 6 - Pa and a female were in the area in March and near/in the nest and tree thru mid-April, but haven't been seen as much in the area since then, so it seems likely that they either didn't have eggs or the nest failed; the primary local observer thinks this may be a different female than last year.

Sur (M) & Res (F)

SR5/Tiku
SR6/Tucca

Both accidentally fell June 24, 8:39 am, when Tiku bumped into Tucca while landing on the little perch (Tiku 82 days old, Tucca 81 days old); they landed on/among branches below the nest; Tiku had been more actively branching and recovered fairly quickly and flew off; it took a couple of days before Tucca got out of the tangle of branches and managed to fly off; I'm listing the times they flew from the tree as the official fledge times (details here).
July 14 at 5:30 am was the last time we saw both fledglings together; Tiku may have stopped by once or twice after that - but usually if one fledgling is on the nest with food, the other one comes screeping in for a share; Tucca did spend a couple of days eating and sleeping on the nest after he finally got back there, so it makes sense to me that it would take a few extra days before he was ready to leave.
We think it likely that both fledglings are male; they seem the same size, and sometimes looked huge, but other times not quite as big as Res; also, David Hancock said that Tucca's ear-piercing screep suggested he was male.

A21(M)? & A11(F)

They couldn't confirm that the male is still A21 (no reason to suspect it isn't); sadly the egg that was laid June 1st had disappeared by June 5th - but they did set a record for the latest date for an egg to be laid at an IWS nest (previous date was late April). According to the trail cam reports, they did spend time working on both of their traditional nests - and I'm wondering if there might be a third nest that hasn't been discovered - the late date would make more sense if it was a second clutch.
A11 hatched in 2002 and A21 in 2003, so they both are older adults and may have accumulated more toxic chemicals in their bodies from their years of fishing, making it possible that their eggs are more thin-shelled than most, and more likely to break.

Shadow & Mrs BB ("Jackie")

Sadly the first egg was taken by ravens the afternoon of January 7 - Shadow had not been seen since the previous morning and may not have known there was an egg, and didn't come to the nest to take over incubation, so at some point Jackie had to leave to get food.
Update - Jackie laid a third egg on January 13, but it appeared to have broken either before or during the laying process; the pair had not been incubating as consistently as usual, and part of that may have been that something was wrong with the third egg, making it uncomfortable for her to brood.
More sad news - the remaining egg (#2) was eaten by ravens on January 14; as Friends of Big Bear Valley and Big Bear Eagle Nest Cam noted on Facebook, "The eagles have clearly been focused on something else, we will never know what that may be." There is time for a second clutch, so we'll have to wait and see what happens next.
Even more sad news - one of the eggs from the second clutch began to hatch on March 19 and little peeps were heard, but apparently died during the night without completing the hatch process; March 20 would have been day 40 for egg #1 or day 37 for #2.
The remaining egg didn't hatch and was eventually taken by ravens on April 17 (day 65 if the second egg)

This pair was first seen in 2020 but didn't produce chicks; the male is banded, but it's too far to read the band. It's possible that it could be the male who who was here before the territory was not used for a couple of years.

Sad news - one of the eggs broke on March 18; I didn't see evidence of a developing chick, but hard to tell from the screenshots.
Chick hatched during the night, 38 days if the first egg and 35 if the second; it's my impression that more first eggs hatch on day 38 than second eggs on day 35, so I suspect it was the second egg that we lost - but we'll never know for sure; very happy to see a chick! Toyon hovered up out of sight at 5:03 pm on June 22 and didn't come down until 5:14 pm; this is recorded as her official fledge, her second flight was clearly a fledge - she left at 10:53 am on June 25 and wasn't seen until 6:44 am on June 29.

Akecheta turned 4 in 2020 and didn't have enough instincts to help on the nest; they produced two clutches - but all the eggs were lost to ravens.
New male Akecheta buried the first egg in the fluff after he initially incubated - and dug it out again once the second egg arrived!
Good news - Akecheta has totally got the incubation thing this year! Keeping fingers crossed for a good year.
Sad news - ravens got the eggs on March 11; at least two had chicks close to hatching; they flew off with the third.

Two eaglets were banded May 10, and Dr. Sharpe said Cruz was around but he didn't see the male and hasn't confirmed its identity.
One chick disappeared from the nest around May 29 but could have been on the ground under the nest; the remaining chick fledged June 26.
Sad news - Dr. Sharpe reported on July 21 that a kayak guide had found A-64/Spirit floating dead in the ocean on the eastern edge of the Fraser Point territory; there was no obvious trauma and they did not recover the body. Rest in Peace, Spirit.

~~~~~

Original pair A64(M)/Spirit & A49(F)/Cruz abandoned the nest with a camera and nested elsewhere in 2020 - and this year it looks as if a new pair is moving in - male A66/Jim hatched at the Baby's Harbor nest in 2016 and female A98/Glory hatched at the original Fraser Point nest (about 2 miles away) in 2014. (Two eagles were accidentally tagged A98 in 2014 - they managed to zoom in on the leg band to confirm that this is Glory)
As of February 27, Jim is around but Glory didn't stay - and Jim was seen on the cam with Cruz! Per the end of season summary, several other females visited Jim, including HP (Sauces Canyon 2018) on March 8 (and maybe once earlier), Cruz on March 23 (when she had eggs at the new nest), and Saucy (Sauces Canyon 2018) on May 11 (Jim wasn't there at the time).

adults A02(M)/Henry & unidentified sub-adult

They didn't appear to nest in 2021, but a trail cam is being prepared for 2022.

Henry hatched at the Fraser Point nest in 2017

History: This was a new territory found in March 2018, and it was thought it might be the first year nesting for A72(M) hatched on the Cueva Valdez (aka Baby's) Nest in April 2010 and A89/Sapphire (F) hatched on the Fraser Point Nest in April 2013, the first young produced by a pair of wild fledged eagles on the Channel Islands since the species disappeared from the Channel Islands in the 1950s and 60s. Unfortunately they didn't nest in 2018, and were not seen during the March survey in 2019. A pair was observed in the territory in February 2020, and the male was identified as A66, who hatched in the Baby's Harbor territory in 2016; there were no further surveys that year so we don't know if they used the nest they were building.
Male A02/Henry (hatched at the Fraser Point nest in 2017) was seen with an unidentified subadult female in 2021; they visited the nest site from 2020, and I think they may have worked on a different nest, but there were no reports that they actually nested.

FSV43
FSV44 (M)

Cam was offline in 2020 to conserve bandwidth - and happily is back for 2021!
Observers noticed that the pair was acting a bit differently than they had in previous years - and discovered that the previous male had a band on the left leg, and the male we've been seeing since the cam came back up this year has a band on the right leg.
Sad news - it appears one of the eggs broke on March 15; they had a whole lot of snow there and a chunk of ice fell off a branch over the nest and cracked the egg; an adult ate the egg, and so far the other eggs appear fine.
Based on hatch dates, I'm guessing the first egg was lost.
Sad news - we don't know why, but the first chick died on April 15; it appeared fine when the adult began brooding that afternoon, but was not moving when the adult got up later. Rest in peace, little one.
FSV44 was captured after fledging and is now banded and has a tracking tag; they determined he was male.

Dad and F420 (4/22/20 - )

SL1

I need to check, but I think they had two nests, and one came down in late December; we'll see what happens next.
I'm not sure there was ever a clear picture of two eaglets; if there were two, one of them likely died soon after hatching; no way to know which one.
Sad, sad news - the nest tree fell down on May 13, and SL1 did not survive. Rest in peace, young one, and fly free.

As of May 2021, it appears that female TFL has been replaced by a younger female who still has some dark feathers on her head; she is being called V5 (Visitor 5?) and they've done some work on the nest, but no eggs this year. Per AEF, the last sighting of The First Lady was February 14th.

Hope (F)
Peace

The current owners bought the property in 2017 and were told that eagles had been using the nest for about 8 years, since 2009 (there had been osprey there previously); they had 2 eaglets in 2018, 2019 and 2020; only one fledged in 2019, but both were successful the other two years.
Male Joe was replaced by a new male at some point during the season; the property owners named the new male Martin.
Sad news - younger eaglet Peace died January 14 at about 10:05 pm; he or she had seemed to to be eating less and becoming less active for at least a few days before s/he died; I believe Peace is the eaglet who got tangled in fishing line on December 28 - AEF received permission for someone from the CROW clinic taken up in a bucket to remove the line and check the eaglets, and they seemed fine then. Rest well, little Peace.
More sad news - Hope died January 24 at 3:48 am; tremors had been noticed in her/his legs for several days, but seemed to be improving - and then blood was seen, similar to what happened with E14 at Southwest Florida last year; rat poison is suspected here, but we don't know yet. Hope's body was recovered the afternoon of January 25, presumably for a necropsy. (There was a necropsy; it was rat poison that killed Hope; they also reported that she was a young female.)
Rest in peace, little eagles.

B14

Mom Berry was back this fall and was confirmed on the nest on October 17, and Dr. Renee Carleton of the college said she was last seen around November 20th, and there was a confrontation between Mom and another female. There is now a new female on the nest, and she and Dad have become a pair. Dr. Carleton said she thought the new female was likely 5 years old so this is likely her first nesting cycle.
I've read that the male is being called M12 - because he is a male and was first seen in the fall of 2012.
A photographer captured a picture of an eagle whose leg looked like Mom's on December 18 over 80 miles away, so we are hoping Mom Berry is alive and well, and taking a well-earned vacation.
Sad news - day-and-a-half old eaglet B14 made it out of the nest cup on February 11, and over to Dad, who fed the little one at the edge of the nest - and then the little one got tangled in the branches at the edge, and the adults weren't able to get it back to the nest; the tiny one died of exposure during the night.

The in-nest cam doesn't show the whole nest so hard to know if someone has fledged or is on one of the edges. And to make it harder, that cam went offline April 16 so after that we only had a wide angle cam that could zoom in fairly close - but was blocked by leaves as the spring progressed. The eaglets were seen branching on June 12 (75 and 73 days old) and probably fledged within a week or so after that; a local observer saw them both in the area on July 3 (96 and 94 days old)

Sad news - one or two intruders were seen trying to take over the nest on/around March 26, and when the dust settled, male Justice disappeared; Liberty had to leave the eggs unattended to find food and to defend the nest, and by the 30th, the eggs had been abandoned. Liberty was still being seen at the nest in April and there was a new male also being seen, but the cam went down around May 8th, so after that date, all we have is a few reports from local observers reporting that there are two eagles there.
Hopefully the cam will be back for next season, and whoever nests there has a better year.

The Raptor Research Project local observers believe the eaglets started hatching April 4 or 5; if the first egg was laid on February 24, April 4 would be 39 days; all the dates are estimates based on last year's times and my sense of what's likely.

Notes on the cam page say a pair was successful here from at least 2002 through 2013 and kept the territory after that though they didn't produce eggs (maybe too old?); a newly mature pair apparently took over the nest in 2020, and laid their first eggs this year.
Adults were named Louis & Anna (after the state); the eaglet was named Kisatchie after the forest by a public vote.

An adult tried to take over the nest on February 2, and one egg was knocked to the edge of the nest where it got caught in sticks; the adults kept control of the nest, but could not get the egg back to the nest cup to incubate it. Based on the hatch date of the remaining egg, I think it was the first egg that was lost.
Not finding a lot of information; elfruler.com has May 6 as possible fledge date; found video with fledgling on the nest on May 21; as of May 23, I haven't found any visits on the 22nd or 23rd

A Wildlife of Maine cam

I learned about this cam in 2020 but did not follow it; per the website, "The Eagle nest is located on the Piscataquis River in Maine. The nest is 70 feet off the ground. The pair of eagles have used the nest since 2016 and have had eaglets each year. Only one year did they have 2 eaglets. The camera is located across the river from the nest 900 feet away. The camera can zoom in on the nest and the parents favorite branch and surrounding area. Also, a train bridge can be seen."
This is a site in the central part of Maine, not related to the nests we used to watch on or near the coast. I believe it's near Milo, which is where the Piscataquis and Sebec Rivers meet.
As of June 22, there's one eaglet named Milo; observers on chat said only one egg hatched, and they think the chick is about 10 weeks old now (which would put the hatch around April 13).

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.

No activity on the platform nest, though the eagles were in the area; they may have another nest - no easy way to look for it.

Very sad news - all three eggs hatched, all three eaglets thrived, and fledged - and all three apparently died of electrocution. The first two were found together under a pole across the street from the nest the morning of July 14; the third one died later that same day - less details yet, but it appears likely that one also tried to land on a power pole. Hoping this will encourage the local utility to make the poles near the nest avian safe. Rest in peace, beautiful young eagles, and fly free forever.

male is banded A59; new female for 2020

Apparently the link changes frequently; if you get "not found" search on YouTube for Duke Farms Eagle Cam.

Feb 26 is 40 days if #1, 37 days if #2; Mar 2 is 41 days if #2, 38 days if #3; I'm guessing that eggs #1 and #3 hatched, mostly because it's very rare for a later egg to take more days to hatch than an earlier one. It's not unusual for adults to take more breaks from incubation early in the process - which delays the first and sometimes the second egg - but it's trickier for them to incubate the second egg less than the first.
May 16 - the eaglets were branching side by side and apparently bumped each other and both slipped off; both flew off afterwards, and one (likely the older one) made it up to a branch in a nearby tree; the other one had not done as much flapping, and was last seen flying low off to the left of the screen.

(It's normal for only one eaglet to survive; the younger is usually killed by the older within a few days of hatching. It's also normal for juveniles to stay in their parents' territory for about 3 months after fledging, being fed and learning to hunt.)

SE-27 (F)
SE-28

SE-28 had an accidental fledge while flying to a perch branch; he or she was seen/heard for a couple of days but didn't return to the nest; we are hoping all is well.
SE-27 was found beside a road in the Sydney Olympic Park on October 27 and taken for a checkup; no broken bones, but weak and likely dehydrated; initial review suggested male but she was reassessed as female on November 24; she was released back to the wild on November 27.
SE27 was taken back into care on December 2 - no serious injuries but weak and dehydrated; she will be transferred to a rehab specialist for several months of care to learn how to live in the wild. As of February 11 2022, it was reported that she has learned to catch live yabbies (a type of crayfish) and is learning to catch fish.
Update - SE27 was released back to the wild around April 1st in a national park about 40 km from Sidney, both to reduce the chance of a conflict with her parents who are preparing for the next nesting season and because it's an area where juvenile and adult sea-eagles are frequently seen; she was fitted with a tracker, and was followed until December 17, 2022, when the tracker (which had been attached to a tail feather) fell off with the moulting feather, as it was designed to do (more info); fly free and far, young eagles!
