Decorah, IA - Bald Eagle Cam: Watch the babies! #2

[Reannan]

Glad you are OK Peeples! Did anyone see the dad arrive at the nest about an hour ago? He shows up, and Mom looks at him and takes off. She hasn't returned yet. He is doing a good job with the babies, but he is cleaning up the nest! Digging up old fish and stuff that is stuffed down in the nest! It is like he thinks she isn't doing a good enough job with the nest. Maybe she is a WS addict and just doesn't have time for housework??? :crazy:

I should have known there was a WS thread about these eagles. I've been addicted to watching them since Baby 2 was born.

I have learned never to be eating something myself when it's feeding time for the eagles.

 

[Noway]

Like now.

Maybe being a "reality" star has gone to her head, :great:

Oh no. I knew I shouldn't have clicked on this thread. But I had to see if they were ok after the storms. How addicting. What beautiful birds! I'm going to go back and read to see what I missed.

Gusts so strong, their tree is swaying. I wish they could make the chicks stay under them, I am afraid a gust will take them away. I had it on full screen but it got to sceery!

ETA They must have heard me...

Dad needs to sit on those babies, darn it!

Thanks everyone for all of the updates. I've had to be away from the camera since yesterday morning and I started having withdrawals. Glad to see they made it through any bad weather. Looks really windy there today. Sassy is sneaking cloer to the edge of the nest than I like to see.

Funny, I went out to dinner last night with a friend. She isn't a computer person at all so I was telling her about the eagles. I started to describe how big the nest was and a guy sitting near us said, "Are you talking about the IA eagles?" Seems everyone knows these newest reality stars!!

 

[peeples]

Ohh no that 1 baby is sooo close to t he edge! I can't watch

 

[Hopeful One]

Does there seem to be a lot of pixelation today or is it just me?

There is for me too. I can barely see anything. Wonder if it's because of the wind...

The littlest chicklet is so close to the edge of the nest. Mama come home! Dad doesn't seem to being doing anything about it!
