August 26, 2020: Decorah, Decorah North, and the Flyway

By 4:03 – just three hours later! – she was 49 miles NW along the North Branch of the Root River: a lovely wild area that has the riverine valleys, steep folded

Derecho Storm

August 15, 2020 RaptorResource

While Decorah didn’t suffer and our eagle nests are fine, parts of Iowa were devastated by the derecho storm that hit earlier this week.
