Congratulations to Mrs. T! She laid egg #2 at 12:41 PM CST! We don’t eggspect a third egg, although we didn’t expect a fourth egg at Fort St. Vrain, either! Hatch watch for this nest starts on Tuesday, April 9. The first eaglet to hatch this year will be TE3 and I’m curious to see what eaglet care looks like. Our Decorah North and Xcel Energy Fort St. Vrain nests laid early – substantially so! – but Mrs. T laid

It was a busy day for eagles – and other birds! – today. At Trempealeau, Mr. and Mrs. T attended to some sticky business as they figured out furniture placement, tangoed, and made early home improvements. We believe that it’s Mr. T’s second year as a mate and father, so we’re very curious to see how he’ll do with food gifts to Mrs. T, brooding, and feeding his young.

Time to Nestflix and chill! At Decorah North, our grey grey tweagles are eating fish tails, sprouting pinfeathers and mohawks, coughing up pellets, and making all of their milestones! At Trempealeau, Mrs. T brings in an impressively large suckerfish and she and Mr. T defend the nest from a barred owl. The geese jumped this morning. Five of the six survived and the little family paddled downstream this morning. Perhaps we’ll see them below N2B or at the hatchery pond!
What’s going on at the Trempealeau eagle nest and where is Mr. T? We haven’t seen him since March 28. Prior to that, he and Mrs. T were exchanging incubation duties and he was acting like a normal eagle Dad. But we haven’t seen him on the nest since his last shift and no one has reported or found him, live or dead, in the vicinity of the nest. The couple’s first eaglet hatched on very late on April 2nd

And then there were two! Ma FSV laid her second egg at 10:37 PM last night. She and Pa are really on a roll! Ma FSV has a long history of laying third eggs, so look for another one in three or four days. She lays her third egg following a less predictable interval than her second egg, but it generally arrives between 72 and 90 hours after her second. We’re still waiting at Trempealeau. Go Mrs. T!
What are we looking forward to this week? Here’s what’s on our list! Eyes to the Skies!
We have a some exciting announcements to make! We’re starting a chat at our Trempealeau, Wisconsin eagle nest this year. Bald eagles Mr. and Mrs. T have been nestorating and it looks like they are on track for a great season – talons crossed, of course! You can watch them, learn more about them, and find our chat here: https://www.raptorresource.org/trempealeau-eagles/. Our moderators are super excited to chat here this year and we’ll post hours as soon as we have them!
Put up your feet and relax – it’s time for NestFlix! Today, we have videos from Trempealeau and Fort St. Vrain, and an Odds and Ends about getting involved with nature in your community! Tick-tock, egg-clock: if DNF sticks to her usual schedule, we’ll see our first egg in just 13 days or so. I hope you are as eggcited as we are! Time flies when you’re watching eagles and falcons… Trempealeau Eagles February 3, 2025: Love is in the
