I posted earlier this week about finding places to watch wildlife in New Jersey, but not everyone can get ot to those places. Though it is a very different experience - and you should get outside when you can - but can do some virtual wildlife watching in New Jersey.

How long have eagles been nesting at Duke Farms? The eagle nest at Duke Farms was discovered by staff in the fall of 2004. In the fall of 2012, Hurricane Sandy’s 70+ mph winds tore off the upper half of the nest tree, destroying the nest completely. The pair built a new nest 100 feet south of the original site in late December 2012, which is still actively used. The nest is located in an American Sycamore tree in a restricted area of the property The nest is about 80 feet off the ground. The camera can be maneuvered remotely to pan, tilt and zoom.
See dukefarms.org/eagle-cam/ and the on YouTube
Wildlife viewing virtually or in person varies by season. For example, the nest at Duke Farms this year was most active on these dates:
Egg 1: January 20, 2023, 4:08 pm
Egg 2: January 23, 2023, 3:05 pm
Egg 1 hatched: February 27, 2023, ~2:15 pm
Egg 2 hatched: February 28, 2023, ~2:20 pm
