December 5, 2022: When will our eagles lay eggs? NestFlix and News!

December 5, 2022 RaptorResource

The North Nest: DNF and Mr. North We have three years of data on DNF and Mr. North. Unsurprisingly, DNF began laying eggs earlier after her first two years, bumping her

On Migration

October 24, 2022 RaptorResource

At whatever moment you read these words, day or night, there are birds aloft in the skies of the Western Hemisphere, migrating.

September 9, 2022 RaptorResource

It’s September 9 and migration is well underway for many birds! According to birdcast.info (https://birdcast.info/) the next couple of nights should be very busy for nocturnal migrants along the length of the Mississippi Flyway. Good luck, everybody.
