I also wanted to point you to some documents that the state of New Jersey has compiled about nesting bald eagles. They document this pair as having a nest at DF back 5-6 years ago. It also lists the number of eggs and off-spring each year. If you cannot find the documents I am referring to, please let me know and I will hunt them down for you.

Hi Kathy - and welcome! I missed your post earlier - sorry. Thanks for the information about the history of the nest - it did seem as if they knew what they were doing when we started watching in 2009 (I loved the way the second adult would move to the other side of the nest to feed the youngest one once the older ones were busy eating!). It would be great if you could find a link to the information - thanks so much!

And please feel free to join the discussion here - the more the merrier - and the more people watching and posting, the more we all learn.

This nest is usually listed as South Branch, although at times Duke Farms is mentioned because of the camera support they provide.
