decorah eagles.

my blog friend, lori, sent this link to me.

it's of 2 decorah eagles that are in their nest at a fish hatchery in decorah, iowa.

from what i've read, their eggs are hatching.  two have already hatched...and a third will hatch any day now.

click here to watch the live stream.

i've been watching for about 30 minutes.  totally intrigued.  i want to go up and put a blanket on that sweet thing though.  it has to be cold with that wind blowing so strong.

pratt is gonna die when he sees it.  i may never get him to leave the computer monitor.

sidenote: i'm not sure if i'd let your wee ones watch alone.  to the left of the screen, you see a dead fish and what i think is a dead bird.  and from what i've read, the eagle and eagle babies have been pecking at that dead bird.  i mean, after all...nature isn't always "cute".  but still, pretty cool to watch this all.  but that beak is pretty powerful.  and that dead fish is pretty gross.

thank you again lori for thinking of us!

God gave us a precious angel of a baby in september of 2008. his name is pratt allen. he is 2.5 years old.we have another little one on the way. his name is max wesley. and he is due may 19th. somehow i'll be the mother of two boys. craaaaa.zy. i spend my days cleaning house. picking worms and caterpillars out of the flower beds. cooking meals. shopping at target. washing clothes. playing on the floor. reading books. doing puzzles. traveling to sonic. and the library. and blogging. i hope you enjoy our blog. feel free to leave a comment. hopefully it's a nice one. i tend to wear my heart on my sleeve.
