I am hooked…
February 20, 2012
I am watching a pair of eagles on their nest in Decorah, Iowa…the Decorah Eagles…it is live-streamed on Ustream.tv (account is free) for all the world to share, as part of the Raptor Resource Project (RRP). So far, there is one egg (although the Social Stream is speculating that we should see another one laid today) and the nest duties are shared by Mom and Dad. There are crows that threaten the nest and other birds that are welcome. There is the Decorah Shimmy and the ubiquitous corn-stalk (Dad loves to shake it) that has been in the nest since before egg…right now, there is a squirrel tail that is leftover from a take-out meal enjoyed in the nest a few days ago. Dogs bark in the background, a stream flows by…so much to listen and learn…
It is mesmerizing…
P.S. There are other links on the Decorah Eagles page, sharing other projects supported by the RRP. Don’t you just love the internet?!

Not that we’ve seen yet…I’ll be looking, though.
