The Duke Farms eagles could see their first chick at any time. After 36 days of steady incubation, the first egg is now in the average hatching window. That means the next tiny crack in the shell could happen at any given moment.
The Decorah North eagle nest turned into the scene of a fast and fierce showdown on the morning of February 17, 2026. After being gone for almost a week, Mr. North had just recently returned to the area. During his absence, an unidentified male eagle had been hanging around DNF and testing the boundaries of the territory. Viewers watching the Decorah North live cam could feel the tension building. Then it happened. The intruder didn’t just perch nearby. He actually landed right inside the nest.
On February 15, 2026, something beautiful happened high in a tree at the NCTC Bald Eagle nest. Bella returned home, stepped carefully into the nest bowl she and Scout had worked so hard to build, and laid her very first egg of the season.
Early this morning on February 17, 2026, the Hays mom eagle was hard at work in her nest. She shifted sticks, tugged at branches, and carefully fluffed the soft lining beneath her feet. Every movement looked purposeful. This is the time of the season when small adjustments matter, when a sturdy pile of sticks slowly becomes something more important. Then, without warning, broad wings cut through the quiet. A wild turkey flew up and landed on a branch in the nest tree.
On February 16, 2026, as a powerful winter storm pushed toward Big Bear and the wind began to build, Jackie made a move that instantly changed the mood in the nest. She lowered herself slowly into the bowl, pressing flat and still in a posture eagle watchers know well. Pancaking. The timing could not have felt more dramatic.
On the evening of February 11, 2026, something wild happened at the Fort St. Vrain bald eagle nest. Pa, the male eagle, flew in carrying a prairie dog. But this was not an easy meal. The prairie dog was still alive, ready to fight, and tried to escape. What happened next felt like a movie.
For a brief moment, it looked possible. On February 14, 2026, a juvenile eagle circled back over the Big Bear nest tree, and Jackie saw it immediately. Just seconds earlier, she had finished eating a fish. Then she looked up — and everything about her posture changed.
Le 6 février, le nid de Decorah North est devenu silencieux d’une manière qui ne semblait pas habituelle. M. North…
Le 12 février 2026, ce qui aurait dû être un repas de routine au nid des aigles de Big Bear…
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.
