Eagles are Back

Last year thousands watched the pair of Bald Eagles in Decorah, Iowa  hatch 3 eggs and feed their young only to give their love and watch them fly away.  This year they are back, so far 2 eggs. You can watch them at this site:
http://www.ustream.tv/decoraheagles  until they leave again. It takes 35 days for the eggs to hatch.
When they hatch, you can watch them  being fed, how the adults repair the nest, take turns sitting on the eggs and venturing off for food.

                 They put a tracking device on the young and tracked them in Canada and Misouri.

These birds are so majestic. In person they are huge. Wabasha, Mn has  wonderful events and displays at the National Eagle Center. http://www.nationaleaglecenter.org/  It is well worth the trip if you are ever in the area.
Wabasha, is also the home of the filming of "Grumpy Old Men".  A funny funny movie.

With it being Lent, we will be attending our local FISH FRY sponsored by our 1st Responders, volunteer group raising money for their many needs.  It is such a great meal, Fresh Fried Cod, choice of potato, coleslaw, homemade bread and a drink. And such great people who volunteer their time for learning, taking classes and helping those in need.  Kudos to All of them.

Thanks for stopping by, Have a wonderful weekend,
