I believe this is the second year a nest cam with live feed has been placed in a bald eagle nest in Decorah, Iowa. Everyone should go (when it's light outside on Iowa time) at least a couple times to visit this site. Last year I checked it religiously and got to see the babies ripping apart rodents the mother brought back to them. So cool

Yeah the only reason I didn't post this one is because the quality is mehh.... those little peregrines have been nesting up there for years now, though. Their adaptability is pretty amazing!

I'm glad everyone is getting as much enjoyment out of this as me : ) I could sit here and watch for 30 minutes straight. I encourage you guys to go to the great spirit bluff falcon cam link at the top.... I think she's still sitting on eggs, but she's such a beautiful bird and they will be hatching son.

wouldn't that be terrible if while the mum was gone we saw some fisher or something climb into the nest and rip apart the babies.
