Freestyle Friday in Decorah
♫ Corn ♩♪♫♬ husks on ♫ my ♪ shoulders makes me ♫ happy…
Mr. North brought in a lovely corn husk bouquet for DNF this morning! After draping his gift over her broad shoulders, he moved it to the west side of the nest: a handy door snake to keep out drafts on a cold and very windy day. Today, it will cushion her feathers and help keep wind from sneaking through the rear door. Tomorrow, it might be shredded for additional insulation or pushed off to the side if the weather warms. Fine-tuning nesting materials - an eagle obsession! - is one way they respond to late winter’s ever-changing weather. DNF’s eggs are turning 17 and 14 days old today.
