Yikes, the Decorah Eagles might lose their home to squatters......

1. Really? No one is going to talk about this?

The Decorah Eagles is one reason I get up in the morning....and I know I need a life but, dang this is huge in the wild life arena. Great horned owls taking over an eagles nest?? Has anyone EVER seen this? I haven't and I thought it would generate more interest then just ME talking about it. JMHO.

2. I haven't watched in a long time. That's awesome!

I watched all the time for the past couple of years but haven't in quite a while. Thanks for reminding me. I'll start again. VERY cool about the owls!

3. And thanks for responding......

I thought this was so "nature", owls obsconding with an eagle's nest.....how incredibly cool is that?

4. This will not end well…

I could be wrong, but eagles are REALLy protective…

5. and this is kinda weird.....owls are more fierce then Eagles for nesting sites......

Just so happy Decorah has both eagle nests on camers....NOW, if the Eagles decide to get a NEW site, as in a third site.....well, then there will be no Decorah eagle viewing this season.

6. I was not aware that they were more fierce.

Hmm, if you are correct, and I suspect you are, that would be a bummer.

I usually watch when you or someone else on DU reminds me.
