Decorah Iowa, Bald Eagle Cam-Watch the babies hatch :)

[Quiche]

I made myself a drink and lit a cigarette. It's almost like watching a horror movie. I hope everything works out ok

:floorlaugh:

ACK there is an escapee!!

My little 5 year old just ran out to ask the 9 year old if he wanted to come see the baby eagle. My big 15 year old teenager ran back here to look just as fast as the 9 year old did.

I love how everyone any age can enjoy this!

Baby has to get back in the nest there is going to be a wind advisory tonight and tomorrow plus it's supposed to sprinkle tonight and rain tomorrow.

Boy mama seems restless right now

DD is concerned about the oldest hatchling. I think it was being a butthead to the younger one and this is mom's version of timeout, lol.

 

[Trident]

YES! Shoved it back in the nest. PHEW

 

[peeples]

YAAY MOMMY! She used her beak to pull him back in!!!

 

[Blue_Dolphin308]

Momma just covered oldest one up now

 

[tlcya]

akkk, where did it go??? tell me mama put it back under her!

 

[tlcya]

thank goodness! had a minor freak out there for a sec.

The momma is really big-- sits atop the nest, instead of down in. She's impressive.

 

[Rhyme & Reason]

My video cut right at the second she pulled baby back in. Baby was there one second and gone the next! Scared me!

My late husband would be laughing at me and telling me to quit worrying-- those eagles know how to take care of their babies! But I worry just the same. I am glad mother eagle pulled her baby back under her. It seems like they are very watchful parents.

 

[peeples]

feeding time again

 

[Blue_Dolphin308]

Whats for dinner?

 

[peeples]

I think it's whats left of the rabbit

 

[Quiche]

She's calling-- I wonder how far away they can hear?

 

[Blue_Dolphin308]

Back to sleep now!

 

[Quiche]

So, she's regulating the heat with her mouth open...

Q. Can an eagle sweat?

A. No. They "thermoregulate" (control their temperature) by panting with their mouth open or through heat loss through the unfeathered legs and feet.
