This may be one of the funniest sights captured by the Raptor Research Project, though it wouldn't have been funny if the mother eagle had laid eggs! A sneaky raccoon tried to access the nest, but momma Eagle showed him who was boss! Let's hope the frisky creature has learned his lesson and won't return anytime soon!
The incident was filmed just three days after both momma and papa eagle were in the nest: September 16, 2011.

Watch video captured live as Decorah eagle lays first egg
Watch video captured live as Decorah eagle lays first egg
On February 23, 2011, the Raptor Rescue Group captured the live filming of the Decorah eagle as she laid her first of three eggs. By April 6, 2011, all three eggs hatched while the world watched live video over the Internet.
The snow was still visible in parts of the nest as the mother eagle waited patiently for the first egg to arrive. The videos below encompass approximately 20 minutes and at first glance it appears that nothing is happening, but lo and behold, the camera was capturing a true marvel of nature, and one that often isn’t
viewed firsthand.
It isn’t until the second video that the egg is actually delivered and soon after, the second egg would arrive. The second egg would make its arrival on February 26, 2011 followed by the third egg which showed up on March 2, 2011.
In the second video below, you can see as the eagle looks around and appears to be waiting patiently for egg. 
After delivering the egg, she slowly turned around then gently rolled the egg with her beak to a better spot where she could sit and incubate it.
The nest is in a tree approximately 80 feet in the air and if you look towards the upper right corner of the video, it is possible to see traffic driving by.

Amazing video shows female eagle as she calls for male, tells him to get home and take care of the eggs
Amazing video shows female eagle as she calls for male, tells him to get home and take care of the eggs
It may seem a marvel of nature, but essentially, it’s something that all women can identify with. In the video below, you’ll see the female eagle (known as the Decorah eagle) as she calls for her mate and tell him to come home and take care of the eggs. The call is the female eagle’s way of alerting her mate that she needs to leave the nest. The video was taken on March 2, 2011, the same day she delivered the third egg. Did she know that the third egg was on the way; therefore she needed him to stay in the nest with her?
Apparently, the male eagle was busy tending to other things and didn’t get the message that wifey wanted him home. She finally left the eggs unattended in the nest to go find her mate. After she left the nest, she continued to call for him, as can be heard on the video.
The female returned to the nest to check on the eggs then soon after, the male arrived and reclaimed the duties.

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!

On February 26, 2011, the eagles now known as the Decorah eagles laid their second egg and the excitement was caught on videotape. Earlier in the day, the live webcam captured the male eagle as he alternated with the female eagle incubating the egg, as at that time there was only one. The video showed many great close-ups on the male’s face and it is truly amazing to witness this aspect of nature in its true form.
You can watch the video that shows the eagle as her wings move with every pulse and muscle contraction as she delivers the second egg. The delivery was at night and the Raptor Resource Project cam uses infrared light for nighttime viewing, so the film is very clear and crisp, but in black and white. Many other cams lose the ability to see clearly at night, but not so with the Raptor Resource Project. In the video you can fast forward to the 1 minute and 10 seconds mark to see the exact moment where the second egg was delivered.
After the second eggs delivery, the mother moves around and prepares the area a little more to ensure the eggs will be thoroughly protected and well incubated. At the 2:44 mark you can see both eggs as the mother settles them in then rests atop them to incubate them.
