There is a camera set up above a bald eagle's aerie down along the Mississippi river. There are three new eggs in the nest surrounded by snow. <br />You can view it live at www.eaglecam.dnr.state.mn.us. The female is currently on her nest and the winds from the snowstorm moving in is ruffling her feathers.Ms Sparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03417670251423549014noreply@blogger.com
