Snow drifted quietly through the branches at the Decorah North nest on March 11, 2026. At the center of the nest sat the Decorah north eagle mom DNF incubating her egg alone, shielding it beneath her feathers as light snow settled across the massive bald eagle home.
On March 4, 2026, at the Decorah eagle nest, HM2 stepped away briefly from incubation to grab a quick meal. The devoted mother had been patiently warming her eggs and finally took a short break to enjoy a fish. For a moment, it seemed like a quiet opportunity to refuel before returning to the nest. But the calm didn’t last long. Almost immediately, a group of crows began harassing her, loudly protesting her presence and swooping nearby. What should have been a simple breakfast quickly turned into a noisy standoff.
On March 2, 2026, The morning started the way strong eagle mornings often do, with Decorah Dad arriving home carrying breakfast. Decorah’s Hatchery Dad swept into the nest with a fresh fish clutched in his talons. Below him, Mom remained settled low in the nest bowl, carefully incubating their two eggs. The late winter sun lit the nest in soft gold, and everything about the moment felt calm and steady.
Decorah eagle mom HM2 laid her second egg on February 21, 2026. When dad tried to take his turn incubating, she wasn’t quite ready to give up her place.
A powerful winter storm buried Decorah’s eagle mom, HM2, under a thick blanket of snow as she incubated her egg. Nearly hidden from view, she refused to leave, keeping her egg warm through the long, freezing night.
On the morning of February 11, 2026, HD flew toward the Decorah nest with a huge fish in his talons. The fish was long, thick, and heavy. As he came in to land, the weight of the fish pulled him lower and lower. He came in too low and it looked like he might nearly miss the nest.
A calm February morning at the Decorah eagle nest found HD arranging sticks and shaping the nest bowl, a quiet moment of nest work that often signals the season is moving forward.
