BASOM – These still photos from this morning show an eaglet making its debut in a bald eagle nest. Yesterday the eagle cam showed three eggs in the nest.

The eaglet was first seen on camera at 6:45 a.m. today, said Dick Moss, president of the Friends of the Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge.

The Friends have an eagle cam on the nest where people can check in for a livestream. There are two other eggs in the nest.

The first egg was laid at 5:06 p.m. February 20; the second at 5 p.m. February 23; and the third at 2:34 p.m. February 27.

Eagle eggs typically take 35 days or so of incubation before hatching.
