(Decorah, IA) -- Decorah's North eagles are busy providing a feast for their newly hatched eaglets. Hatching began the night of March 25th or early March 26th. The Raptor Resource Project reports a second hatching occurred the afternoon of March 27th.

The eagles nest is in a white oak tree on private property north of Decorah.

The eaglets weigh just a couple of ounces at birth but within a week weigh close to one pound and will continue to gain weight rapidly, consuming a diet of live and dead fish, squirrels, other birds, rabbit, muskrat, deer, possum.

Fledging generally happens between 75 and 81 days of age.
