January 10, 2025: The Week in Bald Eagles!

January 10, 2025 RaptorResource

Happy Fri-yay, everyone! Welcome to the week in Bald Eagles! 🦅 This week, the Norths perfected their nestorations, ramped up their courtship – albeit in a very eagle way – and enjoyed some trout tartare, the Fort St. Vrain Eagles shoveled snow and fed themselves and the local magpies, the Trempealeau Eagles showed off their magnificent river views, and HM and HD hosted some visitors. Is your egg clock ticking yet? If the Decorah North and Fort St. Vrain Eagles

November 13, 2024: Meet me at the Love Branch!

November 13, 2024 RaptorResource

♪ The Love Branch ♫ is a little ole place ♫ where ♩ Bald Eagles get to-getherrrrr ♫ In this case, the Love Branch is a well-worn white pine branch and the eagles are Mrs. T and Mr. T, on (we think) their second year as an eagle couple. Bald Eagles have been documented copulating ten months out of the year; at our latitude, they copulate productively between mid-January and early March, but they also copulate outside that time frame

October 28, 2024: Tricks and Treats from the North Nest, the Flyway, and Trempealeau!

October 28, 2024 RaptorResource

Happy Halloween week! Today’s treats include a meteor shower, a splish-splash eagle bath, and a fox squirrel stealing a pileated woodpecker’s snacks…the naughty trickster! This week, we’re looking forward to nestorations, Flyway and North Nest arrivals and departures, especially on Wednesday when the warm southerly wind finally changes direction, and more sightings of our North Nest neighbors. The warm extended fall makes it feel like summer, but the north nest neighbors are clearly preparing for winter and – in the

October 21: It’s stick time! News and NestFlix from Decorah North and Trempealeau

October 21, 2024 RaptorResource

It looks like eagles at all of our nests have started nestorations! DNF, Mr. North, and Mr. and Mrs. T are visiting Nest Depot, flying in sticks, inspecting one another’s work, and tangoing away to put everything in the perfect place. While HM and HD don’t appear inclined to come back to N1 or to adopt N2B, we have seen them fishing the pond and carrying sticks to the east. We’ll go scouting for their latest nest and for Mom

October 16, 2024: Trempealeau Eagles, Decorah North, and the Flyway!

October 16, 2024 RaptorResource

It was a busy day for eagles – and other birds! – today. At Trempealeau, Mr. and Mrs. T attended to some sticky business as they figured out furniture placement, tangoed, and made early home improvements. We believe that it’s Mr. T’s second year as a mate and father, so we’re very curious to see how he’ll do with food gifts to Mrs. T, brooding, and feeding his young. Trempealeau Eagles At Decorah North, Mr. North and DNF are continuing

July 8, 2024: NestFlix and News from the North Nest and Trempealeau!

July 8, 2024 RaptorResource

We’ve got NestFlix from the North Nest and Trempealeau! The eaglets at both places are learning about life beyond the nest and stretching their wings – literally – as they learn by soaring, chasing, perching, landing, and taking off. Eagle college is a few months away, but it’s best to start preparing now, since the professors are not as acoomodating as Mt. North, DNF, and the Ts. I loved all of these videos, but I especially liked TE2 in front

June 26, 2024: News from the North Nest and Trempealeau

June 26, 2024 RaptorResource

The rest of the North nest collapsed this morning when the limb holding it broke at 5:03 AM. Our camera operators gave us a glimpse of the limb on the ground and we’re quite curious to assess the state of the tree as a whole. In the meantime, we’ll keep watching the eagles! The entire North family is doing well and we watched them across the pasture today. It looks like AP placement for DN17 and DN18 in Outdoor School

June 24, 2024: NestFlix and News from Decorah North, Trempealeau, and the Mississippi Flyway!

June 24, 2024 RaptorResource

We saw a real tug-o-fish today as DN18 and DN17 scrapped over a small trout that DNF brought in. Note that DN18 used his eagle table manners – gorging everything but one bite down quickly. No one can steal it once it’s down the hatch…exception here: https://lauraerickson.substack.com/p/parasitic-jaeger-in-july! Fledge and post-fledge activities are going on at all of our eagle nests right now and several people have expressed concern that the fledglings aren’t being fed. It’s common for feedings to decrease

June 21, 2024: NestFlix and Chill!

June 21, 2024 RaptorResource

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting our fledge fundraiser. You donated $16,000 dollars to support our education and research work yesterday, which is amazing! Your donations keep cameras streaming, scopes trained on peregrine falcon bands, autumn banding stations open, classrooms learning about bald eagles and peregrine falcons, and so much more! So again, thank you – and a special shoutout to our volunteers for a wonderful day. John and I had a great time chatting and
