December 5, 2023: News and NestFlix from Decorah, Decorah North, and the Flyway

December 5, 2023: I loved this capture of her vocalizing. Eagle vocalizations are awesome!

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas now that snow has fallen and ice is sealing over the Flyway! In Decorah, HM raises our hopes by continuing to perch near N1 and HD shows off his expert fishing technique! Meanwhile, Mr. North has venison for lunch, an eagle couple’s nestwork is never done, and a red-tailed hawk eats a squirrel and gives us a lesson in field marks. Don’t miss a beautiful subadult eagle and a Where’s Waldo puzzle

2023 RRP Highlights: HD feeds eaglet DH2 for the first time!

April 11, 2023: HD feeds DH2 for the first time.

We’re looking back on 2023’s favorite things! Tonight’s memory lane moment was selected by chat mod Glogdog! She wrote: “HD’s first feeding of DH2 was momentous! For all of us to get to watch a new Dad do this for the first time was really cool!” We suspected that HD and HM were first time nesters. While they had the instincts to care for their young, they didn’t know what needed to be done. Feeding was a process of trial

December 1, 2023: NestFlix and News from Decorah, Decorah North, the Flyway, and La Crosse WI!

November 27, 2023: Dinner on the Flyway. Look at those meathooks!

We have your Fri-yay NestFlix! In Decorah, HM plays several visits to N1 and we pull out the Confusion Couch for another season of ‘As The Nest Turns’, while Mr. North and DNF have a date night by IR candlelight at the North Nest. Meanwhile, eagle ice skating has started on the Flyway (good thing they have built-in crampons) and was that an American Kestrel at our US Bank Peregrine Falcon nest box in La Crosse? It was! I loved

News and NestFlix from Decorah, Decorah North, and the Flyway!

November 25, 2023: HM perching near N1. C'mon you two: this nest is so much better!

Happy Monday after Thanksgiving weekend! Pull out the leftovers, put up your feet, and enjoy the NestFlix! I loved all of these, but I especially enjoyed seeing HM on a branch in the N1 tree, a subadult eagle enjoying the fish jerky in N1, nest material filching at the North nest (the thief surprised me!), and the cooperative eagle hunting in ‘Eagles trying to catch a duck’. Spoiler alert – the duck escapes, but it is pretty interesting watching. I’ve

November 14, 2023: News and NestFlix from Decorah, Decorah North, and the Flyway

It's a regular eaglepalooza on the Flyway! A juvenile eagle is responds to several more eagles on the snag.

The early bird catches the NestFlix! In Decorah, a red-tailed hawk jump scares a bald eagle, while Mr. North shows off his carving skills and general eagle handsomeness at the North nest. On the Flyway, bald eagles and tundra swans are gathering in great numbers as late holdouts flee the northland just ahead of winter’s bite. It’s beautiful now, but next week could bring snow to the Flyway and Decorah, so watch for eagle pool parties at the North nest

November 4, 2023: Day Trip to Decorah

November 4, 2023: Mom and DM2 working on nestorations at N4

Story and photos by Robin Brumm The last few times I’ve been to Decorah, I haven’t had good luck getting any eagle pictures. I thought I would try again last Saturday, so I got up at dark ‘thirty and headed to Decorah. The last time I had gone to Decorah, I didn’t go down to N4 until late morning, and didn’t see Mom and DM2. I decided that this time, I would go to N4 first thing and hopefully would

What’s on the Menu in Decorah?

Trick or treat/smell our feet/give us something good to eat! Happy Halloween, everyone! As part of today’s spooky candy-filled festivities, we wanted to pass out some fish, a few squirrels, and a little information about what HD, HM, and DH2 enjoyed for dinner last year! Between November 2, 2022 and July 13, 2023, our volunteers documented 407 meals. As we’ve seen at other nests, HD was a master provider, bringing in 316 meals to HM’s 91. He was especially active
