DES MOINES, Iowa (KCCI) —

After much anticipation, the first 2018 Decorah eaglet has hatched.

The eaglet, named D29, came into the world just before 7:30 a.m. this Easter Sunday. Mom Decorah laid the egg in February, as seen on the Raptor Resource Project eagle webcam.

The famed Iowa bald eagle has been watched worldwide on the internet.

The nonprofit organization said it’s the 30th egg the eagle has dropped at a nest near the Decorah Trout Hatchery in northeast Iowa.

Congrats to Mom and Dad Decorah!

3. Is that part of a dead deer in front of the eagle?
