Eagle Cam. Decorah bald eagle nest, eggs believed to begin hatch today!
Edited on Fri Apr-01-11 10:30 AM by ScreamingMeemie
This is very awesome. The nest is in a tree at the Decorah Fish Hatchery. They are unbanded eagles that have been together 4 years.

11. I have done absolutely nothing since I clicked this link...
well, I brought my computer to work with me, so I wouldn't miss it.

It's almost as bad as my Panda cam obsession.

12. I know! I feel horrible about not doing anything, but they're so pretty...
...and I'm afraid I'm going to miss the hatch.

17. SO eagle just came by to share nesting duties, and there's a little baby beak
Edited on Fri Apr-01-11 06:11 PM by haele
moving through a hole in one of the eggs.
Probibly another five minutes or so before he(or she) will be coming out.
