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.

Oh, yeah, huh? Can not eat berries ???
That's nature.
I know, but it would not be prettier, without suffering and death :( Otherwise, I like him, like everyone else.
Hello Mrs. Chlumecká. I want to ask if you have any news about the young Orl from Florida. How does it recover?
Good evening, today they have not given Crow any news about the status of E8.
The last message was 15.6. Orlik fights the infection of the right leg at the site of broken bones. Since Monday he has been given antibiotics. He has been relocated to the interior and is guarded.
I expect they will issue an update today or tomorrow.
It is good that the transfer works again, just when the image moves a bit "chopping". Perhaps it will "tune in".
It's so good. Even he was lucky. It's not easy in life. Most of the time it's alone. I know it's different in animals, but just as the parent comes in, it's all coming to life and it's not just food .
Live broadcasting is restored. The DN1 player looks alright and is happy to sleep.
And here is the departure waiting for ???
Today, the eagle is exactly 60 days, it will be a while to jump around the nest, to train the wings. Zdaleka is not yet fully feathered. Then he will learn to rotate and fly by branches, the first flight should take place around 80-90 day of age, nest or tree branches. The nest is leaving for 110-120en age.
Thanks for the interesting information. I have yet to find the meaning of the word to rotate and I'm almost in the "painting".
Still recording. This is how I will no longer know who the second, in the survival of this species, the highest sacrifice and if the young man has already left the nest.
Operator's statement.
If you miss the Decorah North Nest we also.
For the time being, the broadcast has not been able to recover, get rid of flies, and resolve broadcasting problems.
We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you all for your patience.
Perhaps that young survived. This eagle family would be really bad luck.
Or is it an older record of the same nest and something is happening ???
Hello, now is a record from the same nest, we find details, once we have the news from the operator we will publish everything.
There was a strong storm in the area, and the camera is power-free, it may take longer to recover, and the power will return to the record.
I am a little bit confused. The video should be a night, a day. Yesterday the trees and the landscape were green, now it is white. Even the nest is different - tidy. The shot is probably from another nest? How can I watch a nest from yesterday ???
So, today's MENU - raccoon dog, next in line ??? dog ???, fox ??? Oh no.
So far it looks good :). Quiet sleep and feeding in the past days usually took place several times a day. I'm just sorry for those "stuffy" menus. It is wrong in the world that they all "eat" each other.
Today I've seen my mom three times and they do not have the end of the day yet. Young always dove after the meal, and Mom immediately picked it up. He must be hungry as an eagle.
And there is a great, fresh dinner.
Thank God. I always see him alone. I know about this misfortune only two days, watching the other nest in Decorah ...
SUPER, finally, a parent with a fresh breakfast appeared. So it's all OK.
And now I've seen another feed.
Does he know what the dead kid was? And now does anyone look at a nest in a nest? I do not seem to shake my head.
The dead youngster was 26.5. It was taken to an autopsy, tests are supposed to last for 3 weeks. The nest is guarded if something is going on with the young, so they would probably interrupt the transmission as in the previous case, monitor it over a private canal and try to save it.
I do not know if this is common? When the young was wet, she was still shaking. A while ago, she was asleep, hungry, lonely and occasionally has a headache ???
In the rain, it is common for birds to shake, the cub is already 7 for weeks, rain does not matter.
Without food, it will last for a couple of days at this age of the baby, the parents will not eat the food as often as before, it is in the context of the teachings of wildlife survival. I also noticed this jerking, I hope it's just that it poisoning insects which is in the nest full of the remaining food.
It seems to be the insect, there are really many. I hope :).
Poor, poor, hungry, alone.
They are raining there all day, I saw a female on the branch before 3 / 4 hour when you move the transfer back there to see them. The house today has not brought one of the parents.
finally I see feeding, glory, no one knows how the injured young is
She only fed the debris she had brought before 16hod. And from what she dug out of the nest when she was losing her litter. A little in the nest she cleared around 22hod. she left. Perhaps I write it right, I suppose it's my mom. 🙂
Hello, the other one died, was taken to an autopsy, (probably the food poisoning that the female brought into the nest) waiting for the results are not available at the moment.
We will be glad if you give us your observations from the nest in the form of a scrapbook.

Huráááá, feeding. Finally. 🙂
I have not seen my parents for a few days, perhaps they care for a little survivor
Anyone seen the last 24hod. some of the parents ??? 05.06. in the evening of our time, I saw my mother there, he cleaned a little nest, gave the young man a little food and then went again.
I'm happy, maybe nothing bad will happen
Jupíí.Už not alone.
I had a little worry, but now he pleased me. In the nest he found a fish and already sucked it. So that somebody had to bring it. I just noticed the other eagles / that the fish wear without the head. Why?
Around the 13 clock, both parents were nesting in the nest. The head of the fish mostly hunts the parent either in the nest or after the fish are caught in the nest.
My mother survived the juvenile, I have not seen her for a long time, the cub is still alone in the nest.
I'm also watching it and it's sad too. Perhaps nature and nature conservationists will advise the puppy to survive.
One of the youngsters survived, the dead youngsters were taken to an autopsy.
The female has survived, sometimes you can see it in the nest.
I was saying that in the morning the nest was empty. Young people could not fly yet. I'm so sorry. They also said in the news that two eagles died. They apparently poisoned them. For such "people" who did something like that they can, I'm ashamed.
This is very sad, and where the young who survived them can not be seen.
Now, it's a record, because watching recent shots to see what happened
What happened to the youngsters? Thank you
Hello, the camera was turned off and a record was released to explore the footage of the past. Everything suggests that Orli could be poisoned by food :( One young man is supposed to die, the other fortunately looks good, and the mother seems to be recovering, EVERYBODY IS NOW THOSE THANKS WHEN I HAVE BEEN SATISFIED OF THE PRECIOUS INFO I HAVE YOU SEEM!
This is sad and great pity. Yesterday, it seemed to me that one cub is not right. So mother and the other cub survive. I'll keep watching, they're so beautiful. Thank you for answer.
An amazing spectacle 🙂 Thank you 🙂
Thanks for watching
