I know, I know...this blog is about the Decorah eagles, so why am I blogging about the Davenport eagles? Well, I'm just so eggcited! This morning, Mama Davenport was seen with her third egg! It's a bit hard for me to keep things straight, but I'm doing my best, and will only post links to the Decorah eagles in the top menu bar, but I can't help follow the Davenport eagles as well.
Here is a video of Mama Davenport with her three eggs! Remember, the live eagle cam in the top menu bar is of the Decorah eagles.

First video of third Decorah eagle egg captured in early March
First video of third Decorah eagle egg captured in early March
On April 6, 2011, the world watched with awe and wonder as the third of the Decorah, Iowa eagle eggs hatched. As the event was streamed live thanks to the Raptor Resource Project. The nonprofit organization is behind the live 24/7 web cam and also maintains nests to ensure the propagation of endangered and threatened bird species. By February 26, 2011, the second egg was delivered and on March 2, 2011, the video captured the eagle as she delivered the third egg.
In the video below, you can see as the mother eagle takes a quick break from incubating the eggs and you can see the eggs underneath her where they remained in the nest. At approximately 10:00 into the twelve minute video, you can see the eagle as she exhibits multiple muscle contractions indicating the third egg is being delivered.
By 11: 36 in the video you can see the appearance of all three eggs!

Male Decorah Bald Eagle incubates egg (videos)
Male Decorah Bald Eagle incubates egg (videos)
What may be one of the most beautiful aspects of the live eagle cam is seeing the actions of the male bald eagle in the birthing process. The male eagle shows he is a devoted father from the beginning. In the video below, captured on February 26, 2011, you can see as the male eagle alternated with the female eagle in caring for the first egg. The nest, surrounded by a thick layer of snow features one, solitary egg and you can watch as the father leaves the egg in preparation for the female to resume her duties.
The Raptor Resource Project did a superb job with their filming and captured the video in such a way that shows the beauty of the male eagle, with great closeups of his face. The video was captured just hours before the female Decorah eagle would lay her second egg.

Watch Decorah Eagles Build Nest (videos)
Watch Decorah Eagles Build Nest (videos)
The following videos are from January 7, 2011 and show the Decorah, Iowa nest as it is built in preparation for what would now be known as the three Deorah eaglets. One video shows the mother eagle as she visited the tree between 1:00 and 3:00 pm, and build the nest. You can get a first hand look at the mother as she carefully build the nest, moving stick by stick and getting the site ready for the eggs.
The second video shows a curious squirrel as he or she mischievously checks out the building of the nest. The squirrel climbs into the nest and makes its way to the edge before deciding to leave.

Eagle Cam brought to you by the Raptor Resource Project
Eagle Cam brought to you by the Raptor Resource Project
The live Eagle Cam that has become a global phenomenon is made possible by the Raptor Resource Project located at a fish hatchery in Decorah, Iowa. The live video cam is streamed from a large tree located on the hatchery’s property and streams 24 hours per day, 7 days per week and uses infrared lighting to provide clear, crisp images during the night hours. Sunlight illuminates the video during the day. The infrared lighting is safe and does not harm the eagles, nor are the eagles and eaglets aware that the infrared lighting nor video camera is streaming their activities 24/7.
The Raptor Resource Project was founded in 1988 and is a nonprofit organization that focuses on the restoration and preservation of eagles, ospreys, hawks, owls and falcons. The Raptor Resource Project is actively involved in maintaining the birds’ nesting sites as well as well as provides training to help strengthen the bird’s survival. The Raptor Resource has a number of bird cams set up, not just the wildly popular live Eagle Cam that has become nearly an addiction to millions as viewers have been able to watch three eaglets hatch.
The first egg was laid on February 23, 2011 and the first egg hatched on April 1, 2011. The second egg hatched on April 3, 2011 and the third egg hatched on April 6, 2011. Now that the eaglets are all here, viewers have been given a rare, firsthand look at how the mother eagle cares for her young and the function that the father plays with taking care of his new brood.
You may see the live eagle cam above and videos from these important moments below.
