A Snow Day in Decorah!

November 6, 2019: A snowy day in Decorah

Break out the hot chocolate! Mother Nature turned Decorah, Decorah North, and the Flyway into a snow globe today, shaking things up with two to four inches of powder. While Mom and DM2 and Mr. North and DNF shoveled snow, the eagles on the Flyway enjoyed a snow day! We hope you enjoyed these videos as much as we did. Thanks to our amazing camera operators and videomakers for all their work finding and sharing special moments, and to you

We sometimes chuckle about male eagles being reluctant to approach their larger mates, but the size difference can be quite dangerous at close quarters, as this video makes clear. It’s also fairly unusual to see a male engage a female at close range. We also

Where is D27?

November 1, 2019: D27's map

D27 is hanging out a few miles south of the hatchery near a farm with a small creek! She hasn’t returned home that we know since October 5, but it must be a good spot based on all the time she is spending there. We’re hoping to get a chance to go out and look for her! Stay warm, D27…and don’t forget to write! We love to get your postcards! Thanks as always to Brett Mandernack and the staff of
