That nest got 6 ish inches of snow on it on Monday. I didn't know eagles had their young so early.

The
Eaglecam at Norfolk Botanical Garden had 3 eggs laid between 2-11 and 2-19.
The
Eaglecam in Gorham, ME is still waiting. In past years they've had eggs laid as early as mid-February but it's usually March. In winters the lakes are frozen over until April, the Eagles seem to wait for the thaw. Probably to insure a food supply for the nesting Mom Eagle and the hatched chicks.
The
Sutton Center Eaglecam near Stillwater Lake, AZ, had 3 eggs laid between 2-6 and 2-13.
Both the
Kent EagleCam, and the
Lake Washington EagleCam , both in WA state, report no eggs yet.
The
Platteville, CO, Eaglecam, has 3 eggs laid between 2-17 and 2-24.
I'm also surprised the start so early, but I guess that gives the fledglings a better start before next winter.
