After losing one egg Saturday, Duke Farms woke to new life Sunday morning when a tiny eaglet hatched just as the first bands of a powerful blizzard began sweeping into New Jersey. Now, with snow falling and winds rising, the newborn chick rests beneath watchful parents built for winter, turning a weekend of disappointment into a powerful reminder of resilience.
Jackie boldly tries to mate on the snowy Big Bear nest, leaning in with vocals and neck nibbles — but Shadow refuses. What happened seconds later could signal a major shift in the season.
Decorah eagle mom HM2 laid her second egg on February 21, 2026. When dad tried to take his turn incubating, she wasn’t quite ready to give up her place.
A powerful winter storm buried Decorah’s eagle mom, HM2, under a thick blanket of snow as she incubated her egg. Nearly hidden from view, she refused to leave, keeping her egg warm through the long, freezing night.
Early this morning on February 17, 2026, the Hays mom eagle was hard at work in her nest. She shifted sticks, tugged at branches, and carefully fluffed the soft lining beneath her feet.

Then, without warning, broad wings cut through the quiet. A wild turkey flew up and landed on a branch in the nest tree.
On February 16, 2026, as a powerful winter storm pushed toward Big Bear and the wind began to build, Jackie made a move that instantly changed the mood in the nest. She lowered herself slowly into the bowl, pressing flat and still in a posture eagle watchers know well. Pancaking. The timing could not have felt more dramatic.
On the evening of February 11, 2026, something wild happened at the Fort St. Vrain bald eagle nest. Pa, the male eagle, flew in carrying a prairie dog. But this was not an easy meal. The prairie dog was still alive, ready to fight, and tried to escape. What happened next felt like a movie.
For a brief moment, it looked possible. On February 14, 2026, a juvenile eagle circled back over the Big Bear nest tree, and Jackie saw it immediately. Just seconds earlier, she had finished eating a fish. Then she looked up — and everything about her posture changed.
