Decorah Momma & Dad Eagles Nesting

I was recording off of Ustream information from same
FAQ:
1) How high is the nest? About 80 feet.
2) How big is the nest? 5-6 feet across, about the same deep; it weighs about 1½ tons.
3) How old is the nest? The eagles built it in 2007. A previous nest close by fell when a windstorm broke one of the branches.
4) Are these eagles banded? No.
5) What is the history of this pair?
They have been together since the winter of 2007-2008. Her markings at that time indicated that she was about 4 years old. They successfully hatched and fledged 2 eaglets in 2008, then 3 in 2009, and 3 more in 2010.
