DNR Minnesota update:
Update about banding yesterday:
Hello Eagle Cam fans,
It was a fantastic day at the nest yesterday! We banded the famous eagle cam eaglets without incident. All three chicks are healthy and thriving. The parents seem to have this chick-rearing thing all figured out now, and there have been no injuries to the eaglets. Here are some facts about the banding yesterday:
• The chicks were measured and fitted with light-weight silver U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service bands that will help identify them throughout their lives.
• There are two female chicks, one male.
• Their weight is estimated between 5 and 6 pounds. Chicks are banded at this age because they are old enough for the band to fit their growing legs, but they’re too young to jump out of the nest when approached.
• The chicks were not harmed and the parents will not abandon them. The adults have invested too much time to leave their chicks. If there was even a small chance of abandonment, we would NOT attempt banding.
• While banding was taking place, the parents were busy defending the nest, keeping other birds and eagles away, and closely watching.
• The female eagle has been wearing a band for more than five years and is estimated to be about 9 years old.
• A private bander, Mark Martell, and staff from DNR Nongame Wildlife Program did the banding.
• The chicks will leave the nest or “fledge” sometime in mid to late June.
