DECORAH, Iowa —
An eagle egg that was laid in a northeast Iowa nest is facing uncertainty of hatching.
The Raptor Resource Project is monitoring the Decorah North Nest. The Decorah North Female laid her first egg on March 7.
The organization said it isn’t sure the egg will hatch, as the male eagle hasn’t taken a turn incubating.
“We don’t know whether DNF’s egg or eggs, should she lay more, will hatch. UM hasn’t yet taken a turn at incubating and has only brought one food gift. We’ll see what happens,” the organization said.
If this is the only egg that will be laid by the female, experts predict the hatch will happen around April 15.
