1. That's great!❤❤ Sorry to be so stupid, but when I saw the nester it occurred to me that I don't

know what a female bald eagle looks like! Do they also have a snow-cap or is this the father?

6. All mature adult eagles have "snow caps" and white tail feathers.....

Eagles are considered mature at about 5 years of age.

3. You can also see eaglets in California webcam, 2 different nests

7. I'm sorry to beg to differ with this poster, there haven't been ANY eggs hatching at

the Decorah Eagles nest yet. And the first one will be D32 not DN9.

(From the site) Hatching
D29, last year’s first eaglet, hatched on 4/01/18 @ 7:25 AM CDT
The first eaglet to hatch this year will be D32

Sorry. Here’s the site that shows the current site. https://www.raptorresource.org/birdcams/decorah-eagles/. Sorry for the disagreement with this poster.

8. There's no disagreement, just a misunderstanding. You're talking about 2 different nests.

The OP is about the Decorah North nest. Hence the "N" in "DN9."

And "DN10" has also now hatched.

Here's a link to the live stream of the Decorah North nest: https://www.raptorresource.org/birdcams/decorah-north-nest/
