Decorah Eagles WebCam- LIVE
Hey, remember the Decorah Eagle Cam? If you don’t, you probably never saw a baby eagle hatch on live streaming video. But now you have another chance! The mom eagle at the Decorah, Iowa fish hatchery is … pregnant? Do birds get “pregnant”? Anyway, let’s say she has a frittata in the oven. And she’s going to lay those eggs any day now, at which point you can begin obsessively monitoring them for signs of wee tiny eaglets.
There’s not much to see yet, but check back often — the first egg showed up on Feb. 23 last year. Here’s what that looked like, so you can recognize it when you see it:
The eggs should take a little over a month to hatch, and the eaglets start getting eagle training lessons (like how to fly) about three months later. Best part: baby eagles totally come out looking like Doc Brown. (Source)

Oh How I love this, Thank you my Friend
I had been watching, then it slipped my mind. Thank you for the reminder, White Wolf. I find this fascinating! Peace to ya! Thumper :o]
This is so nice to see. I love it!!
So much man made noise - so sad to know they will be deaf when they grow up. Good eyes but deaf.
This is so beautiful to see!! thank you for that.
ABSOULUTELY AMAZING...SHE IS SUCH A GREAT MOTHER,SO PATIENT,LOVING AND KIND.
WE COULD ALL TAKE A LESSON FROM OUR ANIMAL MOTHERS.
ESPECIALLY WOLVES.
the camera moved!
lol. forget it. someone is moving it. :)
anyone know how long they've been nesting?
Awesome...thank you. :D
God speaks more than man can know. What a magnificent creation and I am delighted to have a chance to be part of a world I could never see so close. An amazing creature. The cycle of life.:)
That's the second fish she caught today!!! I'm addicted to this. I also love the birds chirping
Glad to see the third chick, but its so much smaller then the others. May Nature be kind to it.
A chick died....hope she doesn't eat it....ewww
it didn't die! i just saw both parents feeding them. 1 had the 2 older babies and was feeding them. the newest eaglet was being fed just by, i think, the mom.
Yeah!!! This is so cool. I watch it every day.
aw you guys should turn off the light at night !!! thats not healthy for baby eaglings. or mama eagle for that matter. keep it natural.
Maryam, I was thinking the same thing about the light,,,
maybe just dim it down a little!!
My two year old granddaughter and I watch this every day. She just loves the babies! Thank you for posting!
Shut The Light -- We Don't Need To Watch Them 24/7 -- Shut The Light
It's not a white light and the birds don't see it as we do.It's not keeping them up
thank you for showing us around, interesting to see the area.
How big they've gotten!!!
Today is May 9 and where's the Baby Eaglets and Mother?
I would love to own that property, listening to the Eagles, with those horses hanging by the barn not tethered or corralled.....how sweet.
Poor Mama has some bad fleas......lol
I can't catch the Eagles in the nest lately. Keep missing them.
Please keep Eaglets in view of the camera. If you're not going to do this, you may as well turn off this live feed. If they've left the nest while I was at work for the past couple of days, well darn it.
She's sleeping. So peaceful all curled up with her head tucked under her wing. The wind is blowing so she might be cold poor thing. She stood up and turned around but couldn't tell if there were eggs or not.
3 eggs still in nest for past month.
Invasion of privacy. If it was a human they be crying all over the place.
Saw 2 chicks and 2 eggs this morning at feeding time
Oops, maybe only 2 chicks and 1 EGG as now the other white area looks like feathers.
About 12:30 PT Dad showed up and Mom left for the grocery store. Dad fed the chicks and then settled down to watch the sports network and keep the chicks warm.
I think I saw three chicks and 1 egg. The mom keeps tucking the babies underneath her when they try to squirm out. Yesterday she had a fine coating of snow on her and the nest, but now it is gone.
Watched "survival of the fittest" episode here this morning. 1 chick kept getting all the food and when the other tried to get its share, the greedy one sat on its head.
Definitely 3 chicks now. Hope Mom & Dad can keep up with the chow they'll need. Being near a fish hatchery should help, if they have access.
Thank You :)
Thank you so much for zooming in and out, showing the chicks up close and the surrounding area. It was Great!
Quite a supplly of food in their pantry. Parts of several fish, a squirrel tail? and a small bird wing.....
