Bald Eagle Mating Session. Tis the season for eagles to start their mating rituals here in New York. They will lay eggs toward the end of February and hatch sometime around April. They will then take their first flights around early July and will stick around the nesting area until around the end of the summer and then they are on their own. | Mike Lemery Films
