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

November 14, 2023 RaptorResource

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

Did You See? Bald Eagles Talon Locked on the Flyway

November 7, 2023 RaptorResource

We saw two eagles talon-locked in the water for over an hour on Sunday, November 5. Maybe locking and whirling, food theft, or an argument over who got what perching spot ended up with the two of them stuck together, unable or unwilling to release.

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 –

Grab an iced drink, dip your toes in the water, and keep cool with us on the Flyway! We have a beautiful and elusive Sora, lovely Sandhill Cranes, some very cool group-hunting American White Pelicans, a subadult eagle with one foot, and a Peregrine Falcon named ‘Poppy’ that I banded at US Bank in La Crosse on June 1 of this year!
