Yes, we have three eggs again. I was watching just in time for the third.

I just checked, and it's only 9 degrees in Decorah right now. I sure hope mom and eggs will be okay. She looks worried to me. I've watched them occasionally for a few years. Thanks for the reminder.

I watch the Decorah Eagles every year. last year they moved the nest to a another nearby tree.
Thanks for posting. There is another site in Georgia that have a new chick to watch:

Berry College - EAGLE CAM

It is wonderful to check in and be in the nest for a while and watch very devoted parenting taking place right before your eyes.

Eagles are so amazing, graceful and huge. I am lucky enough to live where I see them pretty often, I just saw one flying low overhead going toward the river last Friday. I have seen one sitting on my horse fence post and even one drinking out of our pond early one morning. They are such magnificent birds, I wish everyone had the opportunity to see them like I do.

Alcoa in Davenport, Iowa also has an eagle came. They have 2 cameras for their eagles. So far, there are 2 eggs laid last week. With this bad weather in the area, the staff helped by purchasing 2 bales of hay and laying under the area of the tree. Next thing you know, the hay found its way into the nest for the eggs. Great side. Go to Alcoa.com to watch.

I love to watch these eagles. Such a bitter winter in Decorah this year I feel so sorry for them. I know they are sitting right now I just wonder if the eggs will be viable or if they will freeze from underneath. When they were setting up the nest this year it was fascinating watching their care and pickiness on the rearranging of twigs, sticks and straw!
Upper Iowa University is my alma mater (68) so know the area pretty well! Go Peacocks!!

We have them near where I stay here in Denver. On the way to work Friday Morning hours, I mentioned 4 and a possible 5th in the plants. Nothing like the sun rising glowing on those white-colored go down...
Happy Day

Thanks to everyone for posting the sites to watch these amazing birds. After the winter eagle count along the Mississippi river there is some concern that the number of young eagles is too low.
