Eagle Hatching



Here is a wonderful video of the first 24 hours of the eagles hatching.  This has become a phenomenon and many people are watching the wonder of these new lives.  This is a great introduction to birds and hatching.  We will be getting our eggs for our chick hatching project on April 26th, 2011.  This would be a great video to watch with your child at home before the eggs arrive.  We will be checking in on the live feed during the day at school.  I provided that link in this weeks newsletter.  I will attach the link to the title of this post so you and your child can check in on the eagles at home.

Decorah Eagles

Total views: 25,617,946 The Raptor Resource Project brings you the Decorah Eagles from atop their tree at the fish hatchery in Decorah, Iowa.

The live video feed is streamed online 24/7. At night an infrared light provides night vision to viewers through the cam. Infrared light is not visible to eagles, they do not see it or know it is there.
