Hello,
Mama sitting on the nest now incubating. So that means 34 to 36 days till chicks, around Jan 4th This is great, I hope they have more than one this year. Starlings were still harassing them, but yesterday they were chasing them off, must be because of the egg laying. Yesterday the Starlings were landing in the nest tree, but the eagles were chasing them off and it made for some great flying pictures. Here's a link showing pictures of the chase, and I inserted a picture of mama on the nest. http://img.gg/8AkT99R Kit

hello,
I was there Saturday evening and they were chasing the starlings and she was not on the nest, she was still perched in the tree, then on Sunday evening she was sitting on the nest, so I think either it happened Sat. night or during the day Sunday or both. I wish we had a camera on the nest like they do on the west coast, then we would know for sure. Kit

The most reliable sign that the first egg has been laid is that the female will sink down deep in the nest and rarely leave the eggs unattended. She often will act "broody" for a few days before laying-- sinking down for long periods but then moving about and roosting off the nest at times.

That would be wonderful if there was a camera on the nest ! I watched the decorah, Iowa eagles a few years ago and since then my love and interest in eagles (and birds) has grown. Thank you again everyone for sharing your photos and info.
Have a blessed day ! Tammie

I watch the one in Ft Myers. Went there to see E9. Going again in 2019. I watch Decorah and DC and NE Florida. How do we petition the AEF for a cam?

Went to the nest this morning and she's sitting deep in the nest still. Hope to see chicks on Jan 3-5th Happy holidays to you all, and hope to meet some of you there some day, I'm not driving the faded blue Highlander anymore, I got a new car for Christmas, so now I'm driving a sporty little Volvo C30 Silver in color, I love it, very fun to drive. Here's a shot from this morning.
