Default Decorah Eagles

If you are an eagle lover and want to see "live" cam reporting on an eagle's nest, the eagles in Decorah, Iowa are great to watch. Over the past few years, we have watched the eagles lay three eggs (which only about 25% lay over 2 eggs) and raise the eaglets until the babies leave the nest. Just in case you need a break from quilting!

We have them near where I live here in Colorado. On the way to work Thursday Morning, I counted 4 and a possible 5th in the trees. Nothing like the sunrise shining on those white head feathers...
Happy Day

This is my fourth year watching these two beautiful eagles. It's so amazing to see their natural instincts when carrying for their eggs and then the fledglings.

Watching them can get almost as addictive as the QB! Wonderful observations though!

I got hooked on eagle nest cams a couple of years ago when they had a camera at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens.
Can't get enough of eaglets hatching!

I went to college in Decorah and I've been watching these eagles for the last 4 years. I'm still waiting for her 3rd egg for this year (she's had 3 eggs for the past few years). There is some concern for her eggs since it is so cold in Iowa and the Midwest, but if you've seen a picture of the eggs when she gets up to leave and dad fills in, you'll see there is NO SNOW next to the eggs - they have made sure to keep those eggs warm! Now the hard part is waiting for about 33 days until the first one hatches. I'm keeping my office up to date each day and having a great time waiting for the babies!
