DECORAH, Iowa — Each year the Decorah Eagles enthrall nature lovers across the world. Located at the Raptor Resource Project in Decorah, Iowa, Director Bob Anderson uses a live web cam to monitor the nest. Each year eggs are laid, eaglets hatch and the world watches them learn to fly.
However this year there was some concern.
“Given the extreme cold and heavy snow, we weren’t sure any of the eggs would hatch,” Anderson told the Des Moines Register.
But on Wednesday, April 2, one did. You might catch a glimpse of it and other eaglets soon to hatch in the video player below, but mom and dad are diligent parents and are sitting on their brood to keep them warm and dry.
