    My husband grew up in Calmar and my mother-in-law still lives there. Decorah has a nice bike path. We rode on it a year ago. I've heard they're putting in a bridge on a new section up on the bluff. There's also a nice path that goes from Calmar to Cresco - all paved. Then there's the Root River Trail not too far north in Minnesota.--

    And love watching the eagle cam, too! We watched it last year and are watching it again.

    It is indeed a small, small world.

    Eagle update: first pip, yeah! It was noticed just this afternoon.

    Baby's coming out! First baby's coming out! http://www.decoraheaglecamalerts.com/. I just saw it moments ago!! And here's youtube from a little earlier today showing egg w/cracks encircling: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f82f2...ature=youtu.be.

    How can I work at a time like this?

    The Raptor center confirmed that this was indeed the first hatch, about an hour ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIPa5...ature=youtu.be.
