WATCH: New Female Bald Eagle Lands In Duke Farms' Nest

HILLSBOROUGH, NJ — It appears a new female bald eagle has landed in the nest at Duke Farms in Hillsborough, farm officials announced Wednesday.

Viewers watching the Duke Farms Live Eagle Cam spotted the new female with new markings. The female's beak coloring and the dark spots on her head prove it's indeed a new female in the nest.

The new female appears to be about five years old, farm officials said.

"She possibly won a battle or the previous female got injured or died in some other way. The new female appears to be approximately 5 years old based on tail, head and beak coloring. They have been mating away for the past few days.," Duke Farms posted.
