City's Yard Waste Site is the place to be--to see eagles!

It's an unlikely place for bald eagle watching.

But the Decorah Yard Waste Site on Trout Run Road has begun attracting crowds of eagle watchers over the past three days--ever since this year's young eaglets left the nest and adopted the Yard Waste Site as their new home.

Not only can eagle watchers see two young eaglets, but the adult eagles have been coming to the compost piles to bring food to their young

People line up at the compost site very early in the morning so they can see the food being brought to the eaglets by the adults.
