DNR EagleCam - Update
Welcome to the 2020/2021 EagleCam Season!
https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/features/webcams/eaglecam/index.html
We have two cute, fuzzy eaglets in the nest! The first baby eagle hatched on Friday, March 26 around 1:25 p.m. The second baby eagle hatched on Sunday March 28 around 3:20 p.m. Tune in and watch them grow!
The synchronized hatching is due to delayed incubation. Five days before the second egg was laid, the parents were only incubating enough to keep the egg from freezing. This delayed incubation allows both eggs to hatch within a day or two of each other. It gives the chicks the best chance at survival.
You might be wondering how to identify mom and dad. The female is the one with the very white head. She is larger, has a sort of “bite” mark on the front of her white bib. She is always the one on the nest at night. The male has a darker colored beak, brown feathers speckling his head.
