Cooper's Hawk Building a Nest!






There have been a pair of Cooper's Hawks nesting in the same vicinity for at least the last 2 summers and I noticed yesterday, they're at it again! On my daily walk on the greenbelt near my house I noticed a hawk on the ground grabbing a stick. Of course I hung around so she would lead me to her nest. All I had was my iPhone so I went back today and go some better shots! It will be fun to see it progress. Enjoy!

Decorah Eaglets!

I'm still a bit obsessed with the Decorah Eagle nest cam! In case you've been living under a rock and have not heard...the third hatchling arrived yesterday (April 6) and all 3 are doing well so far. I grabbed this screen shot this morning but the cam was having some technical difficulties so it's not real clear. Clear enough to see all 3 cuties, though!

Live Eagles Nestcam (Decorah, Iowa)!

I started watching this nest yesterday and the eagles had their first hatch over night! The next two eggs are due to hatch anytime! Enjoy!
If you want to watch a great PBS documentary about the history of this nest and American Eagles in general, you can watch it online HERE!
