How long do nestlings stay in the nest? Eaglets hatch after 35 days of incubation and are in the nest for 10-12 weeks before they fledge or take their first flight. Often, the fledging process is gradual, where the birds may branch, leaving the actual nest but not the tree, and take another few days or perhaps a week to actually fly away from the nest tree.
We have an Anerucab Bald Eagle nest that we are so lucky to observe every day. It is about 60 feet off the ground high up in a big pine tree nestled safely between thick limbs. It is about 5 feet wide and at least two feet deep. The mother, most of the time remains in the nest, while the father hunts and brings food.
