Bald Eagle - Nest Decorah North
Bald eagle - description
This nest is located on a private property in Northern Iowa, Decorah.
The nest is located in white oak in a piece of forest bordering the valley. A stream flows through a field where there is a pasture of cattle. In general, eagles begin courtship in October, productive mating in late January or early February, and laying eggs in the middle to late February. Hatching usually begins in late March to early April and the eagles fly out of the nest in mid-late June. While young people usually disperse between August and October, adults remain in the territory throughout the year.
The male is known as Mr. North. The female is Decorah North Female, or DNF, which replaced Mrs. North in the summer of 2018.
The first nest in the North was built in a pine tree. The branches collapsed after the second nesting season, and the eagles moved on to the dead elm. They only nested there for one year before moving to their current location at the end of the year. In August of 2013, their nest collapsed during an extremely severe storm and slid off the nest tree. None of the tree branches were broken or damaged, so the RRP decided to build a starter nest in the same spot. By the year 2018 there will be the seventh season and the fourth nest in this territory.

In Florida, they can barely breathe in the heat and here it's snowing again, it's like here, yesterday only in a T-shirt and today slowly fur coats, these are terrible weather fluctuations, poor nature
I can't help but there is only one squirt in the nest. ;O/
Alfi unfortunately the eagle DN11 - older eagle died. RRP - We are sad to report that the eagle Decorah North Nest DN11 died this morning at about 5:56 am CT. Early in the morning he / she looked lethargic and slowly moved with respiratory problems and died shortly thereafter. Sometimes we do not know the definite reason, but this time we enjoy celebrating the short life of DN11 and remember that our window into the countryside gave us a great opportunity to observe and celebrate the short life of DN11 and the interaction with his life with his sibling DN12 and his parents. Our sincere sympathy with everyone who follows this family… everyone... read more
It delayed hatching the first kid apparently failed. The youth turned out to be cold and didn't give it. ;O/
5.4 - 14:25 CET feeding of eagles
The nest is snowy. But my mother warms up exemplary.
3.4 14:10 CET feeding, here the eagles also rub with each other, it is almost unbelievable. The female preferred to plant them 🙂
17:31 - The two guys are pretty sharp.
They cut themselves like animals. And we already observe it the next day.
Well on some nests it is really about the nerves. But they will grow out of it.
Just for relief.
Just when I had a job, my children watched the eagle feeding and cuddled on me as they were called.
I dismissed them as Lucky Strike. But the girls accepted it quite seriously.
So internally in our home they are named Lucky and Strike. ;O))
😀 so it is nice, otherwise here it is only DN11 and Dn12
I understand that and I do not push through.
But the official designation of eagles would probably not pass on my girls. ;O)
So it is clear to me:) Lucky and Strike is a great name, maybe I catch it too
I don't think it's even important to explain it to them. In our country no one smokes, so it does not negate anything negative. And richly enough, they like the name. ;O)
Oh, you are Alfi here faster 😀 than I wrote what I wrote, so you could answer:
Please don't insult me! You're already my wife in the bedroom tonight. ;O/

Dear friends, let me introduce myself.
I am new, so far small, but mainly bald eagle! ;O)

Thanks, there are little kids behind the stick.
This is the maximum that can be conjured up.
But as they grow and starve, their necks stretch, so it will be better. ;O))
31.3 15:30 DN12 is born !!
30.3 22:15 CET DN11 is here!
30.3 There is already a nice hole in the egg. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIc2HbENzSQ
Great, sometimes I check and keep my fists.

The picture shows an egg tooth.
My children have milk teeth. ;O))
29.3 We have officially confirmed RRP PIP on the first egg DN11 starts to roll! https://www.facebook.com/RaptorResourceProject/photos/a.168536729849621/2829712947065306/?type=3&theater
16:50 are both jaja whole. The FB will be more of an optical illusion.
I would say the shell is convex on the egg. They have a deep bowl, eggs are not very visible and if they can be cracked twisted.
Yes, it could be a crack.
Or, feather, ho.no, anything. But perhaps it is already a crack.
We'll see in the morning. ;O)
Alfi, here you can see beautifully the eagle in Florida 🙂

27.3 The first egg shall reach 35 days on 27 March. The second egg reaches 35 days on March 30. The edges of the nesting bowl are high, it will be difficult to see the first signs of hatching. Inside the egg, the chick gets into the hatching position. His head will be at the blunt end of the egg. The muscle in his throat gives him the strength to open and break the shell. It absorbs the yolk sac. Using its egg tooth - a small protrusion at the top of its beak - the chick first creates a small hole in the inner membrane of the egg, the inner PIP. Then he will breathe air himself for the first time. Parents are likely to hear the chick peck and look at eggs more often. Further... read more
25.3 On Friday, March 27, egg number 1 will have 35 days! Hatching usually occurs between 35-39 days.
23,3 21:10 CET beautiful close-ups of female DNF
20.3 Snow has fallen again in Decorah
24.2 second egg!
father at birth, nothing yet
24.2 Today, a female DNF should lay a second egg
Ever since I have the opportunity to watch the eagles on the nest and your answers, Petra, I have been wondering how wise the nature is and what I can get to know. Thanks.
Good evening Jaro, I am also amazed how many times nature can handle it. We are constantly learning and discovering something new, each nesting is different.
Although I am an “expert” only through our domestic hens, the eagle mum has not been sitting in jaju for two hours and standing next to him. And that's probably not good.
Greetings Alfi, nice to see you again 🙂 Everything is fine, the female will lay more eggs, usually three. By not sitting on the egg, it only postpones the incubation to hatch the chicks closer together. If the incubation did not delay, the difference between the first and third chick would be at least 6 days (I count 35 eggs for hatching for each egg). There is considerable rivalry in the eagle chicks, so it is necessary to hatch in a short time in a row, otherwise the oldest sibling chick would not be allowed to feed and the weakened chick could not resist the older one, eventually killing the oldest sibling. The egg radiates heat... read more
Hi and thank you. I'm a little smarter again. ;O))
It is not at all
21.2 22:38 Egg !!!
19.2 Today could be Day D for the first egg
18.2 Today, the female DNF suspiciously sheds in the nest, the egg is approaching
15.2 Here everything is ready for the first egg.
12.2 15:45 CET DNF female with Mr. North grooming a snowy nest
7.2 female DNF has been staying more often in the nest for the last few days, there will soon be an egg.
3.2 A female DNF has a blood head…. RRP statement
The face of DNF looks a bit alarming. We noticed it on Sunday and we're not sure we can see the remains of dry blood from the prey - not the first time we saw an eagle with a dirty face - or an injury. She still flies, normally eats and works in the northern nest and can open and use both eyes. We will monitor it remotely and, if necessary, develop a recovery plan.
