Breeding Eagles

The Upper Delaware watershed (New York and Pennsylvania) joins the rest of the nation in celebrating the successful recovery of the bald eagle. In addition to the healthy wintering population that migrates to this region, we also host a growing number of breeding pairs. This is due in part to the aggressive reintroduction program, habitat protection and other management actions.

Bald eagles mate for life and use the same nest year after year. The nests are quite large, growing to 6 feet in diameter and 10-12 feet in depth. Eagles lay 1-3 eggs in March or April; incubation is 35 days. Both the male and the female tend to the young. The eaglets remain in the nest for 3 months.
They are fully grown when they fledge.

Nest sites are kept confidential. Any disturbance during the critical breeding season (March through August) can be detrimental to the eagle's survival. The Eagle Institute provides important data about the nesting pairs to the  agencies responsible for their recovery.
