Live Webcam - Bald Eagles

[Bonny]

The Decorah eagles do receive some help. There are people the area that provide road kill. To keep having 3 babies a year & being able to feed them all is rare. Maybe two would survive but usually not three. It all has to do with the amount of food they can provide their young.

It was really rough here yesterday with a good 8 inches of really heavy wet snow.

Much better viewing today. Yesterday I got to see both parents on the
nest, but the snow quickly covered up the camera lens.

The babies are all by themselves in the nest.


No, Mama came back with dinner.

The chicks are getting real feathers now, instead of grey fuzz.

I was just commenting to a co-worker that I've never seen them alone in the nest. The Peregrine Falcons I watch are left alone in the scrape (but a parent is always very close by) once they are too big to keep warm. Of course, it is much warmer just in general here in California too.
It's very interesting to me to see the differences and similarities with these two species of birds.

Anyone notice how big the chicks feet are now? They remind me of kids
walking around wearing their dad's shoes.

LOL! I did notice how big their feet are. The other day they were asleep and they actually had their legs all stretched out. And one of them kept stretching their leg out and then opening and closing the claw. It reminded us (my co-worker and I) of a cat "making biscuits". It was too funny!
