Re: Decorah North (Iowa) - 2017/18
Such sad news - thanks for bringing the reports here.
I wonder if she only had one egg because she was low in calcium or some other nutrient needed to make shells, and if that imbalance made the shell of the one egg she did have more fragile. Not something we'll ever know unless scientists can recover pieces from the shell when they check the cam this summer - and that's pretty unlikely.
She laid the egg February 25, so they'd been incubating almost 3 weeks - I agree that only the eagles know if that's too late for a second clutch.

Sorry to hear about the loss of Mom & Dad Decorah North egg. Maybe they will try again with better luck. Eagle on Sauces Nest in Cal layed 8 eggs last season that all cracked.
