I think it is imperative that I report to everyone that the first egg of the 2023 Eagle Cam Season has been laid! It came around 12:30pm Wednesday February 15th. Additional eggs will likely come over the next few days. Eagle eggs are usually laid two to three days apart but they can go upto 5 days between eggs. Once laid, the egg is expected to hatch after 34-39 days of incubation.
You can learn more and see more by visiting the DNR Eagle Cam. You won’t regret
- It is nature at its finest. This year they also installed a new microphone at the next. Having sound brings the experience to a whole new level. Check out the EagleCam at mndnr.gov/eaglecam

So with the “Big Events” that have been happening this past week with a big murder trial and then an escaped convict on the run (because he didn’t show up to court) with possibly having guns in his possession, then a school soft shutdown turns into a guilty verdict without a defendant present… my mind is reeling! I understand that there is a LOT more to the story and I am woman enough to give a shout out to the Citizen for there daily dig in the whole trial and situation. There is just so much I don’t understand and then the self-doubt starts to set in and then I look up and it is actual National Random Acts of Kindness Day and I HAVE to give another shout out to whomever it was that sent me the best postcard with PEACE on the front and such a heartwarming message on the back. THANK YOU… I live to speak another week… Your words truly made my week and I have your card posted right in front of my computer so that I am reminded of our faithful listeners that make my heart smile. THANK YOU… On this National Random Acts of Kindness Day, don’t hold back- say the words, send the note, finish the act. IT REALLY DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE! Oh and just so you know… Today is also National No one eats alone day… Let me know if you want a partner to munch with because we all know I love to eat!
