August 26, 2024: A quick update from all around our nests!

August 26, 2024 RaptorResource

We’ve got a quick update from all around our nests! We’ve seen DNF and a juvenile – DN17 or DN18, perhaps? – around the Valley of the Norths, although neither DNF nor Mr. North have visited the nest we built for them yet. We’re not too worried about it, since the Norths don’t typically begin nestorations until October. But we do wish the mice hadn’t taken our housewarming gifts…those trout weren’t for you, mice! Given the amount of free food

May 11, 2024: Day Trip to Decorah!

May 22, 2024 RaptorResource

Story and photos by Robin Brumm Saturday’s weather was supposed to be perfect, so guess where I went? You guessed it, I went to Decorah to see Mom and DM2. I also wanted to see if I could confirm how many eaglets were in the nest. So I packed up my stuff Saturday morning, and headed to Decorah. When I got to the nest, I noticed one parent in the nest and the other parent on the broken branch where

May 5, 2024: Decorah Day Trip

May 10, 2024 RaptorResource

Story and photos by Robin Brumm I finally had a weekend that cooperated with a nice day, so I headed to Decorah. I was anxious to see if I could see any eaglets at N4, Mom and DM2’s nest. If there are eaglets, they would be about 2 weeks younger than the eaglets at DNN. I was a little on edge since Mom and DM2 haven’t had any eaglets the last two years, so as I walked down the trail

April 15, 2024: NestFlix and News From Decorah North, the Trempealeau eagles, and N1

April 15, 2024 RaptorResource

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 are HM and HD up to?

April 15, 2024 RaptorResource

– By John Howe Many of you have been wondering what HM and HD have been up to. Earlier this season they were spending plenty of time in the new nest we referred to as N5. We have not been able to see details of how that nest was doing, but we at believed that they laid eggs and were in incubation mode. In recent weeks, we noticed that they have been perched together for longer periods outside the nest

March 30, 2024: A Day Trip To Decorah!

April 2, 2024 RaptorResource

Story and Photos by Robin Brumm The weather finally cooperated and I was able to go to Decorah and not get snowed or rained on. So I got up at dark o’clock (not really, it was light o’clock) and headed off to Decorah. I was thinking about Mom and DM2 on the way over and had my talons crossed that they were still incubating. Their last 2 seasons haven’t been successful and I hope that this season will be a

Watching Bald Eagles

March 29, 2024 RaptorResource

This is a flashback post first published on April 26 of 2012. I repost it every year when the eagles begin bringing suckerfish into the nest. For new followers: Bob (Anderson) founded the Raptor Resource Project and was its first director. You can learn more about him here: https://www.raptorresource.org/about-us/remembering-bob-anderson/. Here’s 2024’s first sucker – note that it was big enough to make Mr. North work! https://youtu.be/ax2M02stxuI?si=fjfCIRm8HUcoxTnp. Bob took a turn operating the controls at the bald eagle camera this morning.

March 18, 2024: NestFlix and Chill!

March 18, 2024 RaptorResource

We have your Monday NestFlix, but let’s look at the week ahead before we put our feet up and chill! We’re looking forward to hatch beginning at Decorah North on Saturday or Sunday, first eggs at peregrine falcon sites (my bet’s on Dubuque for the first egg at a nest we monitor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFtQqGanrX0) and a possible return of winter weather later this week! Well, we’re not really looking forward to that last one, but we are curious about what egg-laying
