On the rainy morning of March 4, 2026, At the USS Steel Bald Eagle Cam Stella was incubating their three eggs, her mate Irv arrived carrying a fish, giving her a welcome chance to eat. The weather was soaking wet, and both eagles looked completely drenched. Stella immediately showed interest in the meal. For an eagle that has been sitting on eggs for long periods of time, bringing food deliveries like this are important.
Stella laid her third egg on February 26 at the U.S. Steel Eagles nest, turning a quiet two-egg season into something bigger. With three eggs now tucked beneath her, hatch watch shifts toward early April.
In the quiet hours of early morning on February 1, 2026, the Decorah North nest was wrapped in stillness. Both the male and female bald eagles were asleep in their nest tree, perched calmly as the night carried on without disturbance. Then, out of the darkness, an unexpected nighttime encounter unfolded.
