We just saw the other parent come back with a bluegill. Then he flew off and the mama (I'm guessing) started tearing it in little bits and feeding it to the baby. He's a voracious little eater! We'll be checking in on them often. :cool:

We have an Eagle cam set up in Davenport, near the Alcoa Plant, and it can be viewed online. Every year when the little ones hatch they hold a contest to name them. The parents are named Liberty and Justice! The upriver in Decorah (I think) there is another.

Now if we could only talk Marshall into setting up a live cam in Bigfoot's lair that would really be something.
Feeding that eagle chick is like dropping food into a bottomless pit.

Thanks @jackb ! I will be checking in daily!

The Decorah Eagles are sitting on 3 eggs again this year, will hatch around the end of the month/beginning of April, I think. Such beautiful birds!

I found an injured eagle in our woods last summer. We called the raptor center out, but it had a broken back so they were not able to save it. :( Thank goodness I found him though, so he didn't have to suffer any longer.
