when does an eagle stay on the nest
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.
