Bald Eagle Facts

How can I tell the male from the female bald eagle? The female is slightly larger than the male. In the case of the Hays bald eagles the male has a noticeable white spot on the right side.

Adult birds range from 35" to 37" tall with a wingspan of 72" to 90" and weigh between 10 to 14 lbs.

Their diet consists of mainly fish but will take advantage of carrion they can find.

The female lays 1-3 eggs 5-10 days after mating. For bald eagles in our area we should expect eggs between February & March. The eggs are incubated for about 35 days.

The nest is between 6' - 8' in diameter and can weigh up to 1 ton.

Bald eagles typically mate for life and have a 20-30 year lifespan.

Bald eagles do not reach maturity until they are 4-5 year old at which time they develop the white head and tail feathers.

1. Eagles are incredible birds!

We have two bald eagles living in the trees on our property on the upper Delaware River. They are magnificent birds and their nest is about 25 feet above our riverfront deck.

Often, they'll look at us disdainfully as if to be saying, "What are you doing on our river?!"

It's remarkable to watch them hunting and when they swoop down to the water to grab a fish, it's amazing to see their strength and agility. We've also seen them catch squirrels and other rodents.

They're beautiful and we feel very fortunate to have them as our neighbors.
