This nest now has 2 eggs (#1 laid 2/17 and #2 just last night) and if history repeats itself she will lay a third within the next couple of days. This pair's nest is 80 ft up in a cottonwood tree in Decorah Iowa. The first egg should hatch in or around the 23rd of March.

Gorgeous!! We live in an area near the Potomac River where the Eagles nest and it's this time of year when we see the most. They settle in the trees behind our house and when they fly over, you think a low flying plane just passed by. They are soooo huge and soooo beautiful. Thanks for sharing and tell Nina, thank you for taking such great pictures. : )
ReplyDeleteAmy, I am so jealous of you on so many levels.. I want to move to that area.. plan on looking into it soon!
DeleteLOL! Shauni, there's plenty of empty houses around thanks to the bad economy! You're more than welcome to any one of them. : )
ReplyDeleteOh my! That is absolutely breathtaking! I've only ever seen one eagle in the wild and it was flying, at a distance. This photos are so beautiful!
