April 5, 2019: News and Nestflix!

April 5, 2019 RaptorResource

Let’s start with a nest round-up! We have one eaglet in Decorah and are waiting for hatch on the second egg. D32 has a healthy appetite and has been working on its feeding and food coma skills today! DM2 hasn’t fed his nestling eaglet yet, but he has brought in fish and done his share of brooding (when Mom allowed it). We have one eaglet at Decorah North. In case you missed the announcement, DN10 did not make it past

The Xcel Fort Saint Vrain eagles hatched their first egg last night at 9:43 PM MT!

She flew into the nest at 12:58, changed places with Mr. North, and laid the egg shortly afterwards with not much egg labor noticed. The final push came at 1:16 CDT, and our first sight of the egg came at 1:17CDT. Given the weather, we got just a glimpse of it before she covered it back up. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. North! I sure wish we could get Bob’s
