Decorah North Bald Eagle Nest

A Front-Row View of a Bald Eagle Nest

This live webcam delivers an extraordinary close-up of a massive bald eagle nest cradled in the fork of a mature tree near Decorah. The deep stick bowl, layered over many seasons, anchors the lives of a resident breeding pair as they tend eggs and rear their young.

Wildlife of the Driftless Area

The nest overlooks the wooded bluffs of Winneshiek County in northeastern Iowa's Driftless Area, a landscape of steep valleys and dense hardwood forest. The surrounding canopy shelters an abundance of thriving wildlife alongside the eagles themselves.
