The Eagle has gone Viral!
Chat lines have been buzzing about the webcam - Decorah Eagles.
This is an eagle's nest 80 ft high, built 4 years ago in a cottonwood tree near Decorah, Iowa. Decorah is located in NE Iowa.
Raptor Resource Project maintains the 24 hr. webcam w/sound. You can even watch at night! (The cam switches to infrared)
Watch as the cam pans, tilts and zooms on the parents, babies, surrounding area and even the prey that has been freshly caught.
(I watched flies walk over the carcass of a bunny as it lay in the nest. Remember flies need to eat too!)
Eggs were laid in late Feb. and have been hatching over the last several days. One more egg is expected to hatch in the next couple of days.
122,000 viewers were watching as I typed this blog on Sunday @ 3:30 PM CT.
Look below the cam and read the FAQ's - interesting!
