Videos: Decorah North Eagles

November 30, 2020 RaptorResource

We’re still waiting for Mom and DM2 to come back from their extended Thanksgiving break, but the North nest has been busy with eagles, owls, coyote, and opossum! Our after dark series features nocturnal wildlife, while Mr. North and DNF are hard at work on their 2021 nestorations during the day! All of these videos are great, but I found Mr. North bringing in a clutch of leaves to be especially fascinating and I watched the owl/opossum video with my

2020 Newsletter, Featured Partner: Great River Energy

November 24, 2020 RaptorResource

When Great River Energy decided to close its Elk River facility, Brenda Geisler, a 20-year Great River Energy employee and resident raptor expert, immediately started work on relocating the plant’s nest box. “A lot of co-ops are experiencing plant retirements and a lot have peregrine nests,” she says. “Moving this nest is a way to keep this a legacy for this plant and others.” To find the right accommodations in time for the birds’ 2020 return, Geisler assembled a 24-member

Announcing: Our 2020 Annual Report

Read the 2020 Annual Report | Download the 2020 Annual Report Welcome! The Raptor Resource Project had an interesting and rewarding year despite the Covid-19 pandemic. While it turned our human families and routines upside down, things didn’t change much for the raptor families that we watch. On reflection, much of what affects us might not raise a feather in the natural world. But much of what we do has serious consequences for the wildlife around us. Our mission of

November 23, 2020: Eaglet airmail!

November 23, 2020 RaptorResource

Thanks for the airmail, eaglets! Can we still call D27 an eaglet? She is a little over three years old right now and is spending her time in a valley system just a few miles south of her natal nest. We keep wondering if she’ll cross paths with sibling D36, but the two haven’t been especially close so far. D36 continues to hang south, moving his foraging area from the Turkey River to the Volga River: also a popular spot

November 19, 2020: Videos from Decorah, Decorah North, and the Flyway

November 19, 2020 RaptorResource

What a day it was in Decorah! Once Mom and DM2 decided it was time to get going on nestorations, they didn’t waste any time. We saw sticks, corn husks, cornstalks, and road kill in N2B today! At Decorah North, an opossum collects leaves with its tail. On the Flyway, two beautiful bald eagles stand next two one another, casting lovely reflections on the still water. I hope you enjoyed these videos as much as we did. Thank you so
