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

November 27, 2023 RaptorResource

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 22: Bald Eagle Spa Day and More!

November 22, 2023 RaptorResource

It’s hard for a bald eagle to relax and enjoy a little spa time when other eagles keep barging in on it. But that didn’t stop these eagles from trying! I love their beautiful floating feathers and the drops of water that roll down their backs as they realign and clean their feathers of dust, dirt, and parasites to keep them in tip-top shape. Everybirdy looks sharper after a little feather care! Feathers are essential to the health and survival

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

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

October 30, 2023: Tricks and Treats from Decorah North and the Flyway!

October 30, 2023 RaptorResource

We have some treats and Mother Nature has some tricks on this very chilly night before Halloween! At Decorah North, look for stick harvesting and nestorations (I especially enjoyed the second video). On the Flyway, we’ve got beautiful subadult close-ups and an important lesson concerning eagle table manners from the professors at Eagle College. Trick or treat? Eagles do both! Thanks to our camera operators and video makers for finding and preserving such special moments, and to all of you

Put your feet up and grab a blanket if you’re watching from the Midwest – it’s time for NestFlix! At Decorah North, we get some wonderful looks at both Norths, a mouse house party (don’t they know that eagles sometimes eat mice?), and North nestorations. On the Flyway, Sandhill Cranes surround a Bald Eagle on the Flyway and break my heart with their incredible beauty. Thanks to our awesome camera operators and video makers for finding and sharing such special

If you’ve been watching the Decorah Eagles this week, you know that they’ve been carrying sticks to various trees in and around the hatchery. Will they return to N1 or build a new nest elsewhere?

October 16, 2023 RaptorResource

The Decorah and Decorah North NestFlix are back! In Decorah, HD and HM cope with hawk intruders, experience a branch collection mishap, and draw closer to N1. Nestorations have already resumed at Decorah North, where Mr. North and DNF seem very enthused about getting the nursery ready for the 2024 season. The Flyway is tremendously busy with birds right now – there were hundreds of cranes just today, along with more elusive migrants like Wilson’s Snipe, Sora, and plovers –
