BALD EAGLE CHICKS:
-
Mating - Think of St
Valentine’s Day, February 14 (a suitable time for mating) -- but
include the two weeks before and after this date -- in other words,
the whole month of February. Eagles are also seen mating in the
first half of March, just a week or two before laying eggs But at no
other times in the year.
-
Final Nest Preparation - A
second flurry of nest-preparation takes place from mid-February to
mid-March -- adding more branches, followed by soft materials like
dry grass and moss.
-
Egg Laying - March 25, plus
or minus one week. A second egg 2 or 3 days later.
-
Brooding - The male and
female take turns sitting on the eggs for approximately 35 days --
from March 25 to May 1, plus or minus one week. One could consider
the month of April as the “brooding” month.
-
Chicks Hatch - May 1, plus or
minus one week.
-
Chick Development - Peeps can
be heard by June 10 -- sitting on edge of nest by June 20 --
flapping wings by June 25 -- flapping & jumping by July 10
