Eagle bald webcam in Decorah
Bald Eagle - description
The Orli Decorah nestles near the Trout Hatchery, the Decorah Hatchery, located on 2325 Spring Rd in Decorah, Iowa. The female is known as mom and the male is known as DM2 (the second male of the Eagle Decorah).
Generally, the courtship begins in October, productive mating in late January or early February, and laying in mid to late February. Hatching usually begins in late March to early April and young 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. They eat live and dead fish, squirrels, other birds, rabbits, possums and anything else they can catch or find.
History of Eagles Decorah
Dad, the original male disappeared in April 2018. Based on the color of her feathers, she was four years old in 2007 and fifteen in 2018.
After two more males arrived and left, mom received a third suitor. In December 2018 Mom and DM2 worked on the N2B nest, defending the territory together and mating.
Raptor Resource Project 'has been broadcasting the nest online for 10 years.
Thank you to webcam operators:
The Bald Eagle is a large predatory bird living in North America. It is the national bird and the state symbol of the United States of America. It occurs in most areas of Canada and Alaska, throughout the continental United States and northern Mexico, mostly near large open waters with abundant food supplies and old nesting trees.
The adult individual has brown feathers on the body and white on the head and tail. The tail is not too long and its shape somewhat resembles a triangle. Both males and females are colored the same way. The beak, the claws and the iris have a bald eagle in yellow. He has short, strong fingers with big claws on the unsightly fangs. A fingertip on the back finger pierces vital points on the victim's body, while his forefinger holds her motionless. It has a large beak of hooked shape with yellow rays.
An infant has brown feathers with white spots until their fifth (exceptionally fourth, rarely and third) year when they are sexually mature. The Bald Eagle is a large bird with body length 70-102 centimeters, 1,68-2,44 meter wingspan and 2,5-7 kilogram weight. The females are roughly a quarter bigger than the male, the average weight is 5,8 kg and in the case of the male 4,1 kg. Body dimensions vary according to the geographical location - the smallest individuals live in Florida, where the male exceptionally exceeds the weight of 2,3 kg and the 1,8 meter wingspan, on the contrary, the largest live in Alaska, where a large female can exceed the weight of 7,5 kg and a range of 2,4 meters
In the wild there is an average of twenty years, the oldest can live up to thirty years and in captivity even longer. In one case, a captive in New York has been living 50 for years. Just as dimensions, life expectancy is affected by the place of occurrence.
It produces faint, whirling sounds that are more pronounced in a younger than an adult.

16.10. Around 16 pm CET Mom Decorah on an observation tree. After less than 10 minutes it flies away and after another about 15 minutes, perhaps 12-15 birds appear in the sky, which move to the south (southeast). Are they eagles?
Hello Mrs. Leono, I was looking at the chat, no one was able to identify them.
Hello, Mrs. Petro, thanks for the response 🙂 !! I didn't know if you would respond here, so I asked the question impersonally. Sorry.
The white tails were visible in those birds. They came to me like eagles, but why such a dumb move? It looked like they were fleeing something (storms, etc.). So later a strong wind started to blow.
Hello Mrs. Leono, there's nothing to apologize at all 😊 I didn't see it yesterday, but I managed to find a video. I'm probably blind, I can't see white tails. There are a lot of birds migrating there now, maybe a raven condor?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmqqoGo_tvc
Thanks for the video - I played it over and over again. Yesterday, I thought I had seen a white tail in two cases. In a terrible way. Today I "found" only one, time 11,21 in the middle of a herd, when two birds pass each other. But it is probably my pious wish ……… 🙂. Who knows who it was. Thanks a lot 🙂
PS So it didn't work for me and I kept looking. The video on youtube is edited and missing when the birds arrive and are above the trees where "our" eagle's nest is. (The video starts above the meadow next to the retention tank.) At that moment, two birds can be seen in two birds - not tails. I have a photo I managed to take yesterday. So they were probably eagles. And I can go to sleep, the soul has peace 🙂.
Oh, I had no idea, I didn't see them online, just from that video. Thanks so much for the observation 🙂
11.10. Mom Decorah lands on an observation tree at about 15,30 CET, after ten minutes she flies to the branches closer to the bridge. It disappears after a few minutes.
10.10. The gang of noisy people at the beginning of the bridge disturbed Mama, and after about half an hour of relaxation, she flew away to the observatory.
10.10. From about 15,30 CET beautiful shots of Mom Decorah 🙂 on the observation tree.
Everything is more colorful and beautiful day by day.
8.10. Around 18,30 pm CET, again both eagles in the branches on the rocks.
7.10. at 14,30 CET an eagle on the "observable".
5.10. UPDATE Raptor Resource Project Welcome back to Decorah and Decorah North Eagles, everyone! Interested in improvements? N2B: We placed two new 4K cameras and one new 2K camera on the N2B. We also added two microphones, cleaned all the cameras, and trimmed the branches away from the cameras and sights. Mom and DM2 added 2020 to 15 cm of material in 20 based on what we could see from the layers. N2B was 1,6 m, 1,24 m wide and 1,4 m high. N1: We placed one new camera (4K) and one new microphone. We cleaned the cameras, protected the cables and did... read more
5.10 Camera online again, new season is here! We're just waiting for Super Mom and DM2 to show up!
Finally ! Old famous places ………
Strong winds vibrate with the cameras, which often makes the image very poor.
At 20,50 CET, the camera detected two eagles by the rocks in the branches !!! That ours ?! They leave after an hour.
30.9. UPDATE Raptor Resource Project
Everyone welcome back! On Monday, October 5, at noon central time, we will turn on the cameras at the Dekorah and Decorah North nests. Our Decorah moderators will celebrate with a special hour-long talk to start the new season. We hope you will join us on our website: https://www.raptorresource.org/birdcams/decorah-eagles/ a https://www.raptorresource.org/birdcams/decorah-north-nest/ or on explore.org. I think you'll love John's new cameras and microphones!
https://www.facebook.com/RaptorResourceProject/photos/a.168536729849621/3342536002449662/?type=3&theater
We are definitely all looking forward to it! Especially to make the new season as favorable as the last one. Too bad they won't find out in Decorah how much we support them ………
Good evening Mrs. Leono, if you sign up for them to chat, you can express your feelings, but prefer only English. But nowadays it's not a problem to set up a translator and communicate well, they are really helpful in the chat and they understand that people use the translator. I use it for cameras myself. The communication on the Southwest Florida Eagle Cam chat - Harriet and M15 - worked best for me. then to the Dale Hollow hut, Institute for Wildlife Studies (nests in the Channel Islands) and here to the AEF hut. You can ask them anything and you will really get an answer. To chat Harrie and M15 many times... read more
Hello, Mrs. Petro, you are kind, thank you very much for the advice, but I do not dare. I'd rather leave it to the more well-founded, like you, who will then share the interesting things with us. Thanks and have a nice day 🙂
29.9. Raptor Resource Project Update Where are our eagles? The D27, D35 and D36 all reported this week! The D35 still enjoys east of central Minnesota, although it has headed south from Princeton / Cambridge to the Elk River area and around our peregrine falcon nest in the Great River. Breezy and Brooklyn could easily see her from their vantage point high above their new nest! Not surprisingly, she also spent some time in a large landfill at the northern end of town. We might cringe a little at the thought, but the landfill is rich in food resources and has a very different footprint from above.... read more

23.9 - maintenance of cameras on N1B and N2B nests - photos

I'm sorry, I didn't notice 🙁.
In Iowa, observers said goodbye to each other at the cabin, imaginatively with the eagles, and thanked the RRP and the others.
Certainly not only I thank many times for arranging the observation of this exceptional eagle family.
Many thanks to you, Mrs. Petro, for your patience and willingness to communicate with us. With the number of cameras you comment on, it's admirable. I tell myself that maybe you don't even sleep :-).
Perhaps the operation of the camera will really resume in October, and we hope that only the positive news from the eagle family will be waiting for us. L.
Hello Mrs. Leono, I thank you and all the other observers who contributed to the discussion and shared their findings. This year, the nesting here was really successful and I believe that we will receive messages from the ground team even during the maintenance of the cameras. We will follow the eagles D35 and D36 on the migration map (it is a pity that the D34 does not have a radio and updates the RRP map only once a month). The cameras will definitely be restored in October, maintenance is necessary. It is a demanding job, each nest is filmed by 4 cameras which the workers have to remove, clean, check the cable distribution, etc. and re-install the cameras and it is necessary... read more
29.8 - 20:40 CET D36 on a branch
27.8. When the "timeline" is "passed" in the morning there are places no. to see beautiful shots: parents sitting together on an observation tree, DM2 hunting in a pond with the assistance of an eagle, both on the nest - DM2 and an eagle with an antenna, one adult and an eagle on the observation tree, but mainly after about a month to see D34: -).
The eagles are shown to us before the transmission is turned off 🙂.
Hello Leon, I will probably disappoint you, there was a mother and D36 on the observation tree. D34 is no longer in the nest area.
Thanks for putting it in the right direction, Petro, but it confused me that the antenna was not visible at all. I've been researching this for so long that I don't write crap. So I'm sorry it wasn't "our" oldest 🙁.
PS I looked at the photo again, but I really can't see the antenna there. The eagle sits alone on the lookout. tree and around has a flock of little birds. Later there is Mama with an eagle with an antenna. I have that too.
What if it was really D34? I don't know how to send the photo ……… ..
I was just checking the forum to make sure and there was no mention of D34. I found videos in one of them that it was D36 and in the other it's just D? In the first video, the antenna is a bit visible. I didn't see her on the second, but according to the coloring, it will be the same eagle.

Hello, Peter, thank you for your holy patience 🙂! I watched the second video carefully and with a magnifying glass, and at 4:50, when the eagle starts to knock - there is a ring on the left leg for a short time and an antenna between the feathers. He has a lot of it on his body, it doesn't stick to him like the D35.
However, they probably had some doubts when they marked the eagle only as D.
Maybe the D34 is fine too.
Have a nice day 🙂
27.8 - 20:30 CET DM2 on a branch
…… .. and in the morning, at about 7,30 places, on the "observation tree" D34 !!! 🙂
Hello. This morning I looked back at the described shots - at about 02.30 CET there is also a very nice shot of a young eagle tearing a cable in a tree 🙂
Hello Marcelo, eagles do it with pleasure, last year in Durbe the eagle disassembled the microphone 🙂
😀 😀
So I'm sorry I missed it - I was already asleep at 2,30 and did not get to the next observation until late in the evening. Too bad …….
Around 19.40 pm CET again a beautiful close-up shot of a bald eagle!
Great, thanks for notifying Marcelo, this is a male DM2
It is beautiful ! DM2 is handsome 🙂.
I wish Mom Decorah's parents and DM2 would stay together and the next nesting season was as successful and relaxing as this year's.
20.8 - 17:15 CET D36 resting on the nest - SUPER SHOTS!
Beautiful shots! As if he knew that the cameras would soon turn off and he still wanted to show himself in full beauty.
It's handsome, but I think life with those antennas is probably not the easiest 🙁.
20.8 UPDATED Raptor Resource Project The Decorah and Decorah North cameras will shut down for maintenance on Saturday, August 29 at 17:00 PM CDT. (24:00 CET) Chat modes for both cameras will hold a special farewell ceremony on our website from 15 pm to 17 pm. (22 - 24 CET) Join us and experience your favorite moments in every nest! Many of you have told us that our nests have been a place of refuge and peace this year. We hope you know that you have given us strength, courage and determination in the face of Covid-19 and many other challenges. Thank you for watching, sharing, learning and especially for caring!

Oh yeah, but it was a beautiful sight.
19.8. Didn't he return to the D35 nest?
No, it was D36.
: )
19.8 Raptor Resource Project Update Where are D34 and DN12? Can eagles hunt on their own? When will it dissipate? Your questions answered… as best we can! Where are D34 and DN12? Short answer: we don't know. Not a single eagle was seen for several days and we did not see or hear D34 when we were in Decorah last week. Most of the eagles we studied slowly expanded their surveys before dispersal. However, some (such as the D25 and D1) began with very little adventure warnings. Given what we saw and heard on our cameras, we think D34 and DN12 may have left. Will we see them again? We could!... read more
18.8. In the morning you can see Mom on a tree by the stable. Later shots of a circling eagle over home territory. Around 10 o'clock place no. on nest D36 (?).
Hello Mrs. Leono, yes it was D36
18.8 UPDATES - Raptor Resource Project Our eagles are on their way! D35 surprised us all by making a big move north on the afternoon of August 12th. At 13:03 p.m., she sat at the corner of Highway 9 and Montgomery Street in Decorah - about 2,2 miles from her native nest. Until 4:03 - only three hours later! - was 78,8 km northwest along the northern branch of the Root River: a beautiful wild area that has a river valley, steep sloping terrain and cultivated hills, which eagles seem to love. However, she continued north, passing Xcel Prairie Island (home for peregrine falcons) and stopped briefly.... read more
Incredible, amazing and touching. Such young men 🙂.
Thank you for the information.
But what about D34? He does not have "armament", but was not seen somewhere?
Hello Leono, D34 has not been seen on camera since Thursday, July 23, which was 5 weeks after his plumage on June 18. No one has seen him since.
Maybe it doesn't mean that he doesn't live …… ..? Thanks for the information 🙂
17.8 - 22:00 CET beautiful shots on D36
: )
17.8. 21:02 one of the eagles has been resting on the nest for a long time, probably waiting for food to be delivered. I also don't know who it is, but it has a walkie-talkie
Hi Iva, it's D36 (verified on the cottage), when he arrived at the nest, so it was clear that he was eating, he had a pretty full call.
17.8 - 16: 45SEČ D36?
14.8. The young men have not been seen today, and their parents are still patrolling a tree to the left of the crossroads, as they do every morning.
The parents met around 20 pm in a tree by the stable - they looked out, waited, looking down at the water, but the eagles were nowhere to be seen. They probably extended the exploration distance. For the night, the parents took up positions in the treetops near the nest.
After a long time, at least we saw Mom and DM2 together.
9.8 - 14:30 CET D35, D36 on the nest
8.8. Mrs. Petro, I have registered several times recently that the D35 and D36 are flirting together and loving each other. It is common ? These young this year seem absolutely exceptional to me.
8.8.Hello Mrs. Leono, here the nest is exceptional whole, including the staff. I have already seen this behavior of young eagles in more nests. They don't have to fight for food together, they have enough of it, so they enjoy it in peace.
I also wish you a good day, Mrs. Petro, I know that there are very specific conditions here in everything, but this "beaking" seemed strange to me. I admit that I watch this nest mainly because I don't suffer mentally from it like with Milda and Raimis, where there were rough scenes during the growth of eagles this year 🙁.
Thanks and have a nice day 🙂
7.8 - 14:10 CET shot of a female
