This thread should be prefaced with the warning that "Watching Eagle Cams can become Addictive!"

The camera set-up at Decorah, Iowa, provides some of the best views of eagles nesting and raising their young in the entire world.

This pair has a good history of successfully raising eaglets but be aware that sometimes bad luck sometimes happens: a freak spring blizzard wipes out the newly hatched chicks; a chick crawls out of the nest bowl and then is blown out of the nest; a marauding eagle or other predator attacks the nest when both parents are away. We've had bad luck again with our favorite eagle cam here in Maine.

Despite that my wife and I enjoy watching the eagle cams, and discussing what we see with other watchers from around the world.

There's nothing more magical than these little puff-ball eaglets, who in ten or so weeks will grow as large as their parents.
