Happy Tenth Anniversary, EagleCam
Welcome back! The first season of the EagleCam was 2013. We will be celebrating the past seasons throughout the year, so watch for upcoming social media and Newsletters. If you have not signed up to receive our newsletter, you can do so by clicking the green envelope button below.
As you may remember, last year, the male disappeared from the nest. We suspect he succumbed to HPAI (highly pathogenic avian influenza), but it was never confirmed. Over the summer, another male began visiting the territory and the past few months, our female has accepted his presence and it appears she has a new mate. We are excited to see how the EagleCam season plays out and watch the male and female bond over the next couple of months before mating begins.

A special delivery happened on the EagleCam on Saturday just before noon. A second egg! Link in comments.

Minnesota DNR Nongame EagleCam egg has hatched! We have the new star of 2023! This single chick will be one well cared-for eaglet.
Tātad - pirmā ola tikusi saplēsta perēšanas laikā un pēc perēšanas ilguma spriežot, izšķīlies mazulis no 2.oliņas.Kathryn Krisko-Hagel
Because of the timing of this hatching, I am assuming that this was the second egg laid and it was the first laid egg that got broken. Now we know.

At 9:38pm, my dad caught a peek of the eaglet’s face on the cam and sent me this screenshot!

At 7:53am on Apr. 2, the EagleCam nest fell. DNR staff immediately went to the site. After a few hours of searching, the chick was found deceased and taken into DNR possession.
We don’t know why the nest fell, but after seeing the site we have a few theories. The most likely scenario is that the heavy snow we received during the April 1st blizzard finally became too much weight for the branch to support. The branch was dead and the nest was over 20 years old and weighed over 2,000 pounds. In the area and neighborhood near the nest there were many fallen trees and branches from the heavy, wet snow.
The adults were seen flying around the area. We do not know if they will rebuild in the same area, but it is likely. Eagles are loyal to their territory. However, it is highly unlikely that the female will lay another egg this year, even if they do have an alternate nest. Minnesota’s nesting season is simply too short for her to incubate another egg. However, we will keep the camera on for now and will let you know before we turn the camera off for the season. We will also keep an eye out for the adult eagles and update you if they stay around the area.
This is an emotional time for all of us, but please refrain from visiting the nest. This was already a major disturbance for the eagles and many visitors will only cause more stress. The nest is on state land and is both State and Federally protected. Trespassing is not allowed in the area.
We appreciate the amazing community and support of all the EagleCam viewers out there. Rest assured, we are feeling this with you and are committed to the EagleCam. It will return, either with a new nest in a new location or the same area. For this year however, the chick season has sadly ended. Thank you for your donations, condolences and your words of support for our team, you are so very important to the Nongame Wildlife Program and Minnesota DNR.
