Decorah Eagles

Brooding behavior. Worth a peak. Sorry about the ad you're forced to watch on the front end.

One egg has been laid. The female just took off. But, she'll be back. The pair won't leave the egg unincubated for very long.
eta: she's back. Confirm first egg laid. As you all may remember, three or four eggs are laid one to two days apart. About 35 days of incubation. First egg now expected to hatch on March 30, 2014.

Darn, that is cold weather for egg-laying and incubating! Pretty much all of the coming week, single digit highs and below-zero lows. Brrr.

The next round of polar vortex is supposed to be very cold. The eagles are probably okay, as long as the nest in the tree retains its integrity. The supply of nearby food is good. They are an experienced pair of adults. Their top priority is to keep the eggs incubated. A severe cold snap is probably less dangerous now than when the chicks are hatched and jumping around.

Awesome! I missed Richard's post, but I figured she must be laying since she's in the nest a lot now.

Congrats on the first egg!

Yaaaaay!!!! Obession-watching is back! Her butt's to the camera right now.

It's reasonable to expect to see egg #2 laid today. Decorah Eagles live

Cool I didnt know there was more than one eagle to watch, we've been watching the Berry Eagle Nest Cam

One of the Decorah eagles is looking beautiful right now in the last of the afternoon light.

lovely! Boy it looks cold and windy....

Poor thing! snow in the nest.

Two eggs may be the complete size of this clutch. A third egg born a week after egg 1 would be at a severe disadvantage. So, two are enough.

Here is another Bald Eagle nest-cam at Berry College in Georgia ... they already have one hatchling ...

Good live video. I think they plan to add audio next year. The southern states are a month ahead.

The 3rd egg has been laid. Also, I've observed the male and female taking turns at incubation. It's a shared duty for this species.

As you know that the mobile phone signal jammer can cut off the signals of the mobile phones and soon make it impossible to make phone calls or send messages. In this way when you need the peaceful condition and want to stay in it, you can just use the best mobile phone jammer to help you achieve your goal. And now as the technology develops with high speed the advanced wireless camera jammer has come into the market and are well welcomed by the group of people who need the jammer product.

I dont think the eagles really mind the camera, and even if they do, the probably don't have the money to buy a jammer...

Two years ago one of the juvies managed to break one of the cameras.

Wow! Tough winter conditions in Iowa. Both adults are sharing the incubation duties. You'll note the adults do not leave the eggs uncovered for very long.

I never get to see them in daylight. Poor things are always covered in snow at night!
