Friday night Nestflix and news!

February 15, 2019 RaptorResource

Grab the popcorn and kick back, because we have a whole lot of Friday night Nestflix and a blog on incubation! In Decorah, Mom wants eggs, she and DM2 vocalize and defend the nest, Great Blue Herons appear on Trout Creek, and we get fantastic close-ups. Watch out for those talons! At Decorah North, a squirrel makes a close escape and we get a fantastic fly-in, nestorations, and close-ups. And at GSB, a falcon – Newman, maybe? – perches on

Is Newman back at Great Spirit Bluff?

Is Newman back at Great Spirit Bluff? It could be! The first image was captured by Explore user Bookmom and appears to show the same thing (although we can’t see his entire nape).

December 28, 2018: Nestflix round-up!

December 28, 2018 RaptorResource

We’re catching up with our nests tonight and tomorrow morning. Tonight: Decorah and Great Spirit Bluff! In Decorah, Mom and UME2 are busy with nest preparation. I tried to pick a favorite Decorah video but couldn’t – although don’t miss ‘eagle chases squirrel off nest’ if you want to see squirrel acrobatics, and ‘new materials’ for a very nice look at nestorations and decorah-ating! The Great Spirit Bluff video shows us that all that passes, passes like clouds reflected in
