March 4, 2023: DM2 in the nest, Mom on the branch.

Story and Photos by Robin Brumm It had been a few weeks since I had been to Decorah, and I wanted to go check on Mom and DM2, so I got up at dark O’clock and off I went. When I got to Decorah, I drove to N4 with a quick drive through the hatchery area. I noticed an eagle in N1 but I wanted to get to N4 early for a better chance to see Mom and DM2. I

February 11, 2023: DM2 in N4.

Story and photos by Robin Brumm It’s been about a month since I’ve been to Decorah and the weekend weather was predicted to be sunny and mid 40’s…perfect weather for a trip to Decorah! So I set the alarm to Dark O’clock on Saturday, and off I went. When I got to Decorah, I went right to the hatchery. I had seen that Hatchery Dad had spent part of the night on the nest, and I was hoping he was

January 15, 2023: DM2 escorting a subadult out of the area

Story and photos by Robin Brumm It has been quite awhile since I’ve been able to go to Decorah. The weather in the winter doesn’t always cooperate with my work schedule, lol. This past weekend was supposed to be warmer, so on Sunday, I got up early and off I went! When I got to Decorah, I drove through the hatchery first because I heard from a friend that there was a subadult hanging around. I saw an adult in

Story and photos by Robin Brumm It has been about a month since I’ve been to Decorah, and I was anxious to go back to see how N4, Mom and DM2’s new nest, was coming along. Since Friday was supposed to be sunny and 50, I decided it would be the perfect day to make a day trip to Decorah. When I got to Decorah, I checked the cam and noticed that one of the hatchery eagles was on the

October 27, 2022: DM2 in N4

Story and photos by Robin Brumm The last time I went to Decorah, I saw DM2 taking sticks into a group of trees, but there were too many leaves to actually see if they were building a nest. Saturday was supposed to be nice, so I decided I would go over to Decorah again now that a lot of the leaves were gone. I got up at dark o’clock, and off I went. I drove through the hatchery when I

Story and photos by Robin Brumm It had been about a month since I went to Decorah and I have been eager to get back over there to see if I could find both Mom & DM2, and the new pair of Hatchery Eagles. Since Sunday was supposed to be cool, but sunny, I decided to head over early so I left at dark o’clock. Thank goodness dark o’clock isn’t as early as it used to be! I got to

August 26, 2022: Mom near N3

Story and photos by Robin Brumm I wanted to head to Decorah and Friday looked like the best weather day, so I got up at dark o’clock and got ready. Unfortunately, I had to leave about an hour later because of the fog, but finally I was able to head out. I saw DM2 the last time I was there, but haven’t seen Mom the last few times, so I was hoping she would be around this time. I have

A Day Trip to Decorah with Robin Brumm, Mom and DM2

Story by Robin Brumm The last time I went to Decorah was for part of the After The Fledge celebration, but I didn’t see Mom or DM2 while I was there. I recently saw RRP’s post that said the N3 tree had fallen in a storm, so I wanted to go to Decorah to see if Mom and DM2 were hanging around the area. Sunday morning, I got up at dark o’clock and headed off to Decorah. I got to

May 7, 2022: Mom flying down to the river to catch a fish.

Story and photos by Robin Brumm Saturday was supposed to be sunny and warm, so what should I do?? Go to Decorah of course! I left a little later than I was planning, so I was hoping the eagles would still be hanging around when I got there. I drove up to the hatchery and right away saw the new pair of eagles in the N1 tree. I quickly parked the car, grabbed my camera and started taking pictures. They

Photos and Story by Robin Brumm I woke up at dark o’clock and left for Decorah before the sun rose on Saturday morning.
