Decorah Eagles - Decorah, IA, USA

High in a tree near the trout hatchery in Decorah, in northeast Iowa, this camera looks straight into a huge bald eagle nest, where the adults rebuild their home each winter, incubate their eggs and raise their chicks.

The Decorah eagles became an internet sensation in 2011, when millions of people around the world watched three eaglets hatch here. In one spring the live stream drew more than 11 million views, making it one of the most famous nest cams ever.

Bald eagles usually lay one to three eggs in late winter, and the parents take turns keeping them warm. The young hatch after about five weeks and leave the nest roughly 10 to 12 weeks later.

Did You Know? Bald eagle nests can be enormous. The birds add new sticks every year, and some nests grow to more than a ton.
