Decorah Eagles

I've been completely distracted by the Decorah Eagles webcam lately. Apparently the cam is located near a fish hatchery on private property in Decorah, IA. There are two cams of which at least one is at any given time 24/7. One is equipped with an infrared light which shows the eagles at night. There are three "eaglets" rapidly growing, and the parents take turns at the roost while the other is out hunting.

Here both parents are at the nest doing a little cleanup. Pops is the one in the background finishing off some rodent flesh.



Here is a screenshot of both the mother and the father next to each other. You can sort of notice how much larger the mother (on the left) is then the father.




Looking cold out there today (4-19-2001).
