The first egg hatched April 2nd . The second hatched April 3rd. The third is expected to hatch at any time.

This pair of eagles has been together since 2007. They have successfully hatched and fledged eight eaglets in the previous three years. The nest is located about 80 feet up in a cottonwood tree located near Decorah, Iowa on private property near the Decorah Fish Hatchery operated by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.

Over the weekend the male brought his mate a rabbit, a crow and a fish.  This little clip is mesmerizing!
