The Eagles Are Coming, The Eagles Are Coming!

O.K., technically they're already here, and have been for a few years, but I didn't know we could watch them live.

After a few years of watching the Decorah Eagles in their home in Iowa (apparently deserted right now), I was delighted to find out we have our own eagle cams right here in town.

Ozzie and Harriet have been living down here for six or seven years and recently moved across the street. They are currently caring for two eggs which comments from the folks running the site seem to indicate could hatch at any time.

There are, officially, an even dozen eagle nests within the city limits. Fledging season runs through May 15, 2013 and the city has posted notice that any and all building permits in areas close to nests have been suspended until the little ones are out of the nest. This is in addition to the restrictions regarding how close construction can come to a nesting site in the first place.
