Snow on the nest - and nasty wind heard!!

No visits by eagles today either....nothing but snow--just like yesterday!

5:02 cst An intruder at the nest chased by one of the Decorah eagles. It was quick and fierce looking and sounding. Calls heard for 3 min or more from off the nest.

The encounter is at 1:11 on the video.

Thanks, Donna...I had just turned the nest cam off at about 5PM and missed the whole thing! I wonder if it was another female looking for a nest?

I checked the dailies and it happened so fast that their camera missed the "event" too!

Good morning from Cayman. First time here. Tried the chat section and posted a hello but as usual having typical connection problems from here. I am looking forward to being a part of this years hatch. Always bedn with Sydney eagles and will miss them a lot but the Decorah seems like a good place to stop.
More later when internet more stable here. Usually evenings are good.

Vicki...Sorry to hear about your internet connection. We have been wondering where you have been! Hopefully it will get straightened out soon! I think you will like this nest. The parents are wonderful and they are known for having triplets.

Mom and Dad made a quick visit to the nest this afternoon shortly after 12PM nest time. They brought new nest fluff and arranged it a bit...then they were gone.

Dad arrived first with a small bunch of fluff


Mom brought more fluff and then they both disappeared quickly.

I posted these two scaps yesterday and they seem to have disappeared!


Arranging the new nest fluff



Just doing her "Mom" thing
