Based on the behavior of the eagle pair, biologist Maurry Mills estimates that they have been taking turns sitting on eggs in the nest by Route 1 since March 16 or 17. If all goes well, the eggs in the nest should hatch around April 18-20, though we don't want to count our eagles before they hatch! According to biologist Ray Brown, there should be plenty of alewives in the nearby St. Croix River and Magurrewock Marsh to feed the eaglets from late April through early June.  (Photo by Ray Brown, USFWS)
