Jackthebear - I just checked on them over the weekend. Last year, they had one over on us and nested outside of the camera's view. I hope you are feeling okay and over the flu.

Their new cam looks really nice and clear, it should be some really good viewing this season! Looks like she is laying on an egg as of yesterday.

She did lay the egg yesterday, I was watching this afternoon when she flew out of the nest leaving it alone. She came back I assume it is the female, I didn't think they would leave it alone like that. It is so cute to see the eagle pulling the straw to it's body in the nest.

Hi jackthebear, you can be sure that egg is being watched, dad is probably watching from a branch just out of cam site while mom gets a stretch!

Did you see when it snowed and mom was covered, it was a few seasons ago, she looked so cold! They had it on video loop too when the cam was off. I am so happy they are available for us again, I have missed them.

Do you by chance follow the black bear project in Minnesota?

Hi I did see that snow covered nest

I figure they are not going to leave the egg unattended. I am going to see what is happening now

Pittsburgh has eagles for the second year along the Mongongaha River and there is an eagle cam this year. Last night a racoonn was almost eagle meat when he tried to grab one of the 3 eagle eggs. Mom was fierce!! News stations covered the excitement.

Mom looks so cold, its dark now, the nest is covered in snow and the wind is blowing pretty good up there. Brrrrr! Looks like the second egg was laid 2/26, egg D19. Seems the RRP are very worried as they have never seen eggs laid in sub zero temps before. Keep positive thoughts. Check out their fb page, there is a great 2 min. video from today where mom and dad make the switch and you can see the eggs really good.

Stardust, they usually hatch 3-4 days apart as they are laid 3-4 day apart. Maybe it will still hatch.

Thank you for the link!

Looks like we have the first hatching as of April 1st. No, this is not a delayed April Fool's joke - check out raptor resource facebook page (you can view it without being a member).

D18 - the first hatchling of the year.

Re: Decorah Eagles 20014

Bird mama — Sat, 05 Apr 2014 01:35:06 GMT

D19 has arrived. D20 is still 'breaking out'.

What a testament to the parents. They managed to save their eggs during the worst weather (freezing rain, bitter cold) they've had to endure in years. People could learn a lot from these eagles (okay, I'll shut up now).
