The parent eagles are approximately 8 years old. There were three eggs laid, 2/23, 2/26, and 3/2/11. The first egg hatched on 4/2/11; the second egg hatched on 4/3/11; and the third egg hatched on 4/6/11.
This pair built this nest in 2007 and successfully hatched and fledged 2 eaglets in 2008, then 3 in 2009, and 3 more in 2010.
Their nest is located in Decorah, Iowa USA.
An eaglet is a young eagle. Yes, there are eagles in southern Minnesota, including a few bald eagles.

I have listed the link to the Decorah, Iowa Eagle's nest camera at the related link below:
Usually by pulling strips of meat from their kill with the beak and then feeding it to the chicks. When the chicks get older, the kill is pretty much dumped in the nest for the chicks to feed themselves.

Baby bald eagles, known as eaglets, typically fledge or leave the nest at about 10 to 12 weeks old. After fledging, they continue to depend on their parents for food and guidance for several months. In the wild, bald eagles can live for about 20 to 30 years, but many do not survive to adulthood due to various environmental factors and threats.
Only 50% will live.
Eagles don't live in rainforests. Most eagles live in temperate forests and polar regions.

No. In fact, there are no eagles that live in groups.
Generally 2 eggs are laid and hatch. If there is not enough food the stronger one will kill the smaller or weaker one. Many times that is not the case and both live to fledge. There are many with 3 eaglets that survive past fledging. There are 3 confirmed clutches of 4 eaglets have been raised and fledged. Fledge means to fly away from the nest. Clutch means the eggs laid by the female.
