I don't know how to post a link, but if you want to get away from it all for awhile, google Decorah Eagles. It is a nest cam and two babies hatched yesterday with one more egg to go. They do a fantastic job with their cameras.

Lots of chatter in the background. It amazes me how much is available to see on the internet.

Check these links out for fun. https://sportsmansparadiseonline.com/

Just saw a changing of the guard with a feeding with one of the three chicks being a greedy pig. Funny how the bird does tidying up once settling down to cover the babies as the other flies off.
I agree this has been a great distraction. I also watched two of the African safaris and really enjoyed them as well. I was even notified when one was starting using the notify button.
My delight arises mostly because I didn't know that all these amazing options were available.

In 2018 about this time, the dad eagle disappeared during a snowstorm and mom soldiered on and raised three babies. They never could figure out what happened to dad but it was very nerve wracking for all of us on the edges of our chairs. It was also interesting to watch her accept her new mate later on. She's quite a gal!

I remember that; it was so sad when dad disappeared!

I have so enjoyed this site and keep checking to see how they are growing and changing overnight, . Impressive to see that they learned to wait for their turn for the parents to feed them.

I agree. They seemed to have stayed small for so long and now - well, don't blink. LOL.

I'm guessing the eaglets have flown the nest, as the webcam is now showing "highlights". For anyone interested in other bird cams, this website has several to choose from.

I stand corrected. I don't know why the site had been showing highlights, but the eaglets are still in the nest, although I'm not sure for how much longer. They are so big!

The three of them were back at the nest last night when it got cold. Parents are feeding them at the nest so they are now going to school learning about flying, etc. Fun to stop the world and see what they are doing for a short period in the day.

It is a nice break. I've also been watching a red-tailed hawk cam and an osprey cam - all the babies seems to be fledgling at the same time.

I have been monitoring this cam periodically for the month of February. There was discussion about some eagles flying by but not the same eagles as last year. Thanks for the update.
Edit to add that you had listed Decorah North with the eggs. i was monitoring the other Decorah Eagle Nest. Sorry for the mixup.

The eagles have fledged, but here is a little California Condor that is still growing -

Edited to add: actually it looks to be a pretty big "baby". LOL

Looks kind of lonely in the rocky home by itself
