Eagle Cam Is Here!
We started checking in on the nest last week, and it was empty. On Monday, we peeked, and the eagle was spiffing up her home. And on Wednesday, we found a very snowy eagle who was sitting on two eggs! By Thursday, she had another egg, and we were lucky enough to see the mom and dad switch places in the nest! This camera offers a live feed of the eagle family in Decorah, Iowa 24/7...see the link above marked "Eagle Cam"!
