1st Bald Eagle Egg Of 2019 Spotted At Duke Farms

HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — Amidst the snowy weather, a lone Bald Eagle egg was spotted at a nest in Duke Farms in Hillsborough on Thursday. It was the first Bald Eagle egg of 2019.

Duke Farms reported the egg spotting at 3:07 p.m. on Feb. 20.

Bald eagles have been nesting in the same area year after year. In 2018, two eggs were also caught on camera at the nest around the same time of year but tragically failed to hatch. (See Related: Tragic Ending To Bald Eagle Eggs At Duke Farms)

In 2017, a pair of bald eagles were seen nesting, but no eggs were laid.

The webcam was installed by Duke Farms in 2008 on a tree adjacent to the bald eagle nest to provide a live look at the daily activities of the eagles. The live stream has more than 10 million viewers and is growing.

Duke Farms is located at 1112 Dukes Pkwy W in Hillsborough.
