January 3, 2024: NestFlix and News from Decorah North!

DNF and Mr. North try to locate the source of a strange sound below their nest.

The days are already getting longer and out birds are getting busy! At Decorah North, Mr. North and DNF are copulating, working on their nests, and chasing away intrepid squirrels. While we’re seeing some intruders, the snow cover has remained light and we’re not yet seeing the conditions that had migrating eagles locked down at the North nest last spring. We’re crossing our talons for a good year! We’re also seeing a lot of nestorations at Xcel Energy’s Fort St.

December 12, 2023: Mr. North with his fish.

We have your news and NestFlix from Decorah North! DNF and Mr. North are hard at work raising the rails, making sure the nest bowl is soft and well-padded, and replacing material stolen by intrepid squirrels. I hope you enjoy these videos as much as we did! December 13, 2023: Cheeky squirrel raiding the North nest! https://youtu.be/h0-eCddDv4A?si=5OO0uWWvTiPvFIr8. You get everything just right and then a squirrel comes in and throws a party! The North nest is a somewhat risky place

December 5, 2023: News and NestFlix from Decorah, Decorah North, and the Flyway

December 5, 2023: I loved this capture of her vocalizing. Eagle vocalizations are awesome!

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas now that snow has fallen and ice is sealing over the Flyway! In Decorah, HM raises our hopes by continuing to perch near N1 and HD shows off his expert fishing technique! Meanwhile, Mr. North has venison for lunch, an eagle couple’s nestwork is never done, and a red-tailed hawk eats a squirrel and gives us a lesson in field marks. Don’t miss a beautiful subadult eagle and a Where’s Waldo puzzle

December 1, 2023: NestFlix and News from Decorah, Decorah North, the Flyway, and La Crosse WI!

November 27, 2023: Dinner on the Flyway. Look at those meathooks!

We have your Fri-yay NestFlix! In Decorah, HM plays several visits to N1 and we pull out the Confusion Couch for another season of ‘As The Nest Turns’, while Mr. North and DNF have a date night by IR candlelight at the North Nest. Meanwhile, eagle ice skating has started on the Flyway (good thing they have built-in crampons) and was that an American Kestrel at our US Bank Peregrine Falcon nest box in La Crosse? It was! I loved

Thank You for Donating to the Raptor Resource Project’s Giving Tuesday Fundraiser! (+ links and video)

November 29, 2023: HM on the Y-Branch

Thank you to everyone who donated treasure and time on Giving Tuesday! We’ll have totals next week, but please know that we really appreciate your support. We covered the year at Decorah (eagles and geese), Decorah North, Great Spirit Bluff, and the Flyway. We also discussed camera upgrades, our Peregrine Falcon banding work, our autumn raptor banding stations, Golden Eagle tracking, the possibility of a Golden Eagle cam, two new sites that we hope to online this fall, and some

News and NestFlix from Decorah, Decorah North, and the Flyway!

November 25, 2023: HM perching near N1. C'mon you two: this nest is so much better!

Happy Monday after Thanksgiving weekend! Pull out the leftovers, put up your feet, and enjoy the NestFlix! I loved all of these, but I especially enjoyed seeing HM on a branch in the N1 tree, a subadult eagle enjoying the fish jerky in N1, nest material filching at the North nest (the thief surprised me!), and the cooperative eagle hunting in ‘Eagles trying to catch a duck’. Spoiler alert – the duck escapes, but it is pretty interesting watching. I’ve

November 22: Bald Eagle Spa Day and More!

November 21, 2023: Bald Eagle Spa Day on the Flyway!

It’s hard for a bald eagle to relax and enjoy a little spa time when other eagles keep barging in on it. But that didn’t stop these eagles from trying! I love their beautiful floating feathers and the drops of water that roll down their backs as they realign and clean their feathers of dust, dirt, and parasites to keep them in tip-top shape. Everybirdy looks sharper after a little feather care! Feathers are essential to the health and survival

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

It's a regular eaglepalooza on the Flyway! A juvenile eagle is responds to several more eagles on the snag.

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
