The little fuzz ball is all white, I just saw it also. Two eggs left to hatch. Cool!

Aauummm, when we were kids there were ZERO nests in Iowa. Now there are 200 breeding pairs in Iowa. Amazing. Even though I see them all of the time here in Minnesota (and on road trips back home to NE Iowa) I still think it's special, probably because I didn't see any as a kid.
I'm loving this nest cam, although it seems to be offline right now. Is anyone else having trouble accessing the site?
The Bald Eagle is truly one of the success stories of the Endangered Species Act ("ESA"). The EPA banned the use of the pesticide DDT in the late 60s or early 70s in large part because it was accumulating in the highest level predators like the Bald Eagle. The DDT weakened the egg shells and chicks just weren't able to hatch. An auxilliary benefit of the DDT ban, is that it protected more than just Bald Eagles, it really helped all predators, particularly fish-eating raptors or other egg layers because DDT was so prevalent in freshwater ecosystems.
It's awesome to see so many Bald Eagles flourishing and their populations recovering from below 1000 wild pairs.
is it just me or are some of the websites not working. i tried the raptor one and the ustream video and neither of them worked
oh ok thats what i thought. the ustream one is back up. does it have a rabbit or something

Here's the Ustream link:
Decorah Eagles, Ustream.TV: Ustream and RRP are a great team. We're live to millions across the world again. Thank you, all! First hatch 4/2/11. 24-h...
The little one is getting some "hassenpfeffer".

It is currently demolishing the rabbit I assume it caught the other day and feeding it to the eaglet...very awesome to watch!
Cant tell for sure but it looks like there is 2 rabbits in the nest. Must have been supper time because the adult was feeding the eaglet just a few minutes ago and is now settled back over the eaglet and the other 2 eggs. Neat stuff!
I want to know who in their right mind is going to crawl 80ft. into a tree and put this camera up?! I hope to heck that the connection on the camera doesn't come loose any time soon.
Doesn't look like she is going to do that for you. Maybe she didn't think of that. Why don't you shimmy up the tree and suggest it to her? Now that's something I'd like to see. Too sweet!
It's the National bird and a great symbol of our country. Are you a ******* idiot or were you just dropped on your head too many times as a child? Better yet, from the sounds of your posts, ARE YOU STILL A CHILD?
C'mon man...that ##it is not funny.Grow up.
I suppose you also burn the American Flag every
chance you get.
