Tired raccoon crashes in Decorah eagle's nest (videos)

What appeared to be one tired raccoon, decided to crash in the Decorah eagle's nest for nearly an hour. The little guy climbed into the nest, then apparently took a nap.

Check out the cuteness below. Let's just hope the raccoons move on before the eaglets are born!

It would be nice if more humans would work together like these eagles when it comes to preparing the home! Mom and Pop Decorah eagles may be seen putting the finishing touches on their nest as they add branches, sticks, and twigs to round off the top.

The Raptor Research Project captured this video on November 23, 2011.

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!

The incident was filmed just three days after both momma and papa eagle were in the nest: September 16, 2011.
