As a way of predicting egg-laying dates at Bald Eagle nests across North America, I have compiled comprehensive calendars showing egg-laying dates at nests observed on camera between November and May from fall 2009 through spring 2024. I have included a few nests without online streaming cams but with reliable ground observers.
Notice that there is a blank column for 2024-2025 so that users who watch several (or all) nest cams can pencil in the egg dates that they observe as the season progresses.
In addition to dates, the calendars show outcomes for each egg:
- Strikeout indicates unhatched eggs.
- Bold indicates earliest date for a nest.
- Italics indicate nestlings that died before fledge.
- A question mark ? indicates an approximate date or best guess.
Information is drawn from Judy Barrows’ charts, the Hancock Wildlife Forum, the Channel Islands EagleCAM Forum, the Hornby Eagle Group Projects Society forum, individual nest cam websites, numerous Facebook pages and groups, and my own observations and calculations.
