!!! No Eggs Yet.
March 23, 2011 - Etobicoke - Sun Life Centre
Kathy Reports:
Well despite the intentions and efforts of Jack the past few mornings, it’s safe to say nothing yet. I have noticed Angel has been sticking close to the nestbox the past few mornings so I was kind of hopeful however the temperature has gone from plus 10 yesterday to minus 12 with windchill and blowing snow this morning and she’s flying around or sitting on her web cam. If she had an egg or two in the box, she would be trying to keep it warm in this mess I’m sure. That being said, Jack could be on duty however it’s too blustery to see or stay out there too long so I’ll check again later if it calms down. I know it seems early but prior to last year, Angel was always the first out of the gate here in Toronto and was at least one week ahead of other nest sites. I guess with 2 sites and 2 females to attend to - it will be a week later like last year!

Even for eagles, it’s all about location
A pair of eagles are nesting high in a white pine on the Royal Botanical Gardens lands on the northern edge of Cootes Paradise. If there are eggs in the nest, they may well hatch mid-April.

If all goes well, Hamilton could soon be home to the first young bald eagles hatched around this side of Lake Ontario in more than 50 years.
And it all comes down to location.
