This winter’s polar vortex is expected to generate subzero low temperatures and daytime temperatures hovering around ten degrees for over a week, threatening the Decorah eagle’s eggs.
The pair laid their first egg on Sunday and more are expected to arrive this week.
In order to keep the eggs from freezing, one of the parents will have to stay on the nest at all times.
