MN DNR's EagleCam Update: Mother Laid An Egg
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- The Minnesota DNR announced an update to the ever-popular EagleCam: mom laid an egg!
According to the DNR, the mother eagle laid the egg on Tuesday afternoon. Female eagles typically lay two to three eggs in a clutch. The eagles will sit on the nest to keep it warm until the eggs hatch in about 35 days.
