Heidy-Ho, Blogging Buddies!!
I am SOOO excited! My poor "Golden Years" brain had completely neglected to snap to this year's Decorah Eagles nest. Some of you may recall that they had built a new nest last year which did not have a camera so we were unable to monitor the laying/hatching/fledging of last year's eaglets.
I am SOOO happy to tell you they installed a camera over the summer and that we have eaglets!! Here is the info for 2014:
2014 timeline: 1st egg laid 2/23, 2nd 2/26 and 3rd on 3/2. Hatch dates: 1st egg 4/2 9:22AM, 2nd egg 4/3, 3rd egg hatch in progress
You may take a peek at the nest and the babies by clicking here: Decorah Eagles Nest 2014. While I do not keep this up & running 24/7 at my house, I do admit to checking in on them frequently when I am spending time at my computer. Looks like Daddy Eagle has been hunting quite a bit. I think I can see 2 squirrel carcasses as well as a fish in the nest. :) It's easy now. When those little guys get bigger, it's going to be a full-time job!
I was going to post some pictures I have taken recently but when I remembered this, I felt it was far more important! The third egg is cracking but the eaglet is not yet out. Should be soon!! Stay tuned!
Until next post...
