You need to go to this site http://www.stream.tv/decoraheagles It is neat they have a camera sit up to give live pictures of the eagle on her nest. She has hatched out 2 baby chicks. It is really cool her mate brings her food . So far I have saw a squirrel, a rabbit, a duck and 2 fish. You can see them nite and day. The nest is located at Decorah, Iowa.
redhawk what categories is this in. I hit the link and didn't get a to look at the eagles? it sounds really cool, and want to check it out.

There is a web site called petcam, they have dozens of listings like that to watch stuff. Most of the Zoo's also have them. Been watching them for a few years. The Penguin cam at the artic is cool.
Daddy's being a good provider. This morning he has brought a fresh rabbit and two fish for his family to eat. The third egg hatched last night and was interesting to watch momma take care of the chick after it came out. Unfortunately, it's not likely the third chick will survive. Most of the time when there are three chicks in a nest the weakest one will be pushed out by the other two, survival of the fittest when food is low. Might not happen this time as it seems daddy is hunting well and providing for his family.
Tried the site this morning did you have any trouble viewing it deaddawg?
Just went to it a little bit ago, no problems at all. The third chick ain't looking too good.
I'm not having any troubles. The third one isn't as active I've noticed..
It wouldn't get up for feeding a little while ago.
Yep just got it, we know how I love my computer.
cool stuff, wish there was a way to see how big the eagle is (comparing it to something,) the last time I saw one up close I felt like a B-52 flew over me.
They are big beautiful birds. I like watching this. It shows a caring and gentile side. The ones out here are like dive bombers. You have to admit they're cool to see in action!!!
my english teacher had us watch this then write a report what we think the birds are thinking. "worms,poop on cars,poop on windows,poop on crazell's head" ROFL
cant stop laughing ROFL ROFL ROFL blah
It would be the first time from an Eagle. Man that's got to make a mess. Can you say "Special hair gel" ROFL ROFL
moose hair jell ROFL
I can see the adds for this new hair gel:
"Soar through life with Eagle hair styling gel,
Be bigger and boulder, they will scream over it."
That's good Rocky!!! ROFL ROFL
If you are having trouble getting on the site ,it might be because so many other people are on the site. One time today I noticed there was over 200,000. I usually get on first thing in the morning and haven't had any problem.
Thats alot of views, it's probably not the site but my wind up computer. hdslp
Hey Brokenhawk, u got a wind up computer, did ya see the $600 car?
Pulled up the eagle nest to find it had snowed Friday nite , Saturday. Ain't ya'll ever going to get spring up there in Iowa?
I only thought it had snowed over the week end. Today it has been some more nasty weather to be up in a tree 80 feet trying to keep 3 babies warm dry and fed. Looks like it has snowed several inches and she has her hands full. Hope it turns warm on the back side of this front. It is time it turned Spring for you guys!
Today was a nasty day for the eagles. Snow every where. Ice on the lens. Momma looked like she had it under control.. Hope the weather gets better real soon...
The eaglets are getting bigger, on a happier note..
Nice little eagle iceberg there.
Watching right now, all three eaglets moving around, one of the parents is watching them and doing some nest improvements, just brought in a big stick and added it to the nest just out of camera range....
Man those little suckers are getting big, remember that nest is six feet across. (susp) Here birdie,birdie,birdie.
I know, it looks like they have doubled in size over night. How long are they in the nest before they have to leave?
Tiny tim wasn't doing so well earlier. He's pigging out right now. thmbsup He actually pushed the two big ones outta the way.
Don't squeeze them!!! Talk about projectile.. ROFL ROFL
ROFL :blech: ROFL
Amazing how big they are, watching you get no real sense of perspective. Maybe after they leave the nest this year the people who run the site out to install a ruler or something to give people and idea o the size
They got bigger, it seems everyday the double in size. One of the bigger ones was trying to eat a fish on his own. It looks like the lens is freezing over.
Looks like more bad weather.. They need to install a wiper and defroster for the camera. I can't believe I'm addicted to these eagles, like I am.. :applause:
Just seen both parents in the nest covering the eaglets. It's cool to see them side by side. Just got to see how big the mom is.
Boy oh boy, have they grown. They are starting to be more active also. Can't believe how much they've grown. Sure hope that nest has a pull out section. It's becoming fuller by the day. How exciting...
I don't know how many of you are still watching the eagle's? It's been 9 days and they have more than doubled in size. At least thats the way i see ithem.Looks like they'll be working on their legs and feet next..
I'm sure it won't be to much longer and out they'll go.
A student and I were watching today and the next to the biggest went running across the nest flapping and I thought he was taking off. He didn't like much or he would have had to learn quickly. It won't be long. I don't know what my students are going to do then. They have to check in every day. Hopefully school will be out before they take the plunge!
Well it's getting close everyone. They have posted,"Fledge could be happening sometime between june 11th through june 25th. They feel it will be closer to the 25th". Exciting times are about to happen. Just thought i would let you know...
Mama has been sitting out on the limb the last 2 days I think she's trying to get them to flap out to her. Several times I have seen one of them flapping and lift off a foot or so. If he had done it today the wind would have carried him off. It is going to happen soon! Thank goodness school gets out tomorrow my students have got as attached to this site as I have. Don't know what I am going to do when they do take off.
They sure are getting brave these days. All three out on those limbs flapping and jumping from the nest to the branches. It'll be any day now, and they'll be flying away..
Have to say thank you to Redhawk for the posting of the site. It has been an awesome experience to see them develop like they have. I now have a new found respect and admiration for this. :applause: Ron
8:40 AM EST one started flapping and flew off the branch... Amazing to see Their progress.
Well they all are flying and they'll being closing the site until fall time. It sure was fun watching them grow. They grow up so fast...... skrt
It sure has been interesting to see their progress from hatching to flying off. I have really enjoyed watching them. I was amazed how caring and nurturing the parent eagles were to their young. My students at school really enjoyed watching them also. It was a good learning experience for them. I am going to miss checking in on them every day.

Well you'll be able to watch them again the fall.They have enough funding to do it all over.
have a nest of tree swallows in the boom of the sail boat across the dock from me. it is fun watching the parents whiz around catching bugs and to hear the babies chirping as an adult lands at the opening. the eagles here drive the seagulls nuts. GO EAGLES. the other day they were in the park sitting in a tree and one gull was on the top of the building watching and seending reports back to the nesting site. lots of eagles here in the PAC NW now soo cool
