October 30, 2023: Tricks and Treats from Decorah North and the Flyway!

October 30, 2023: DNF and Mr. North

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

October 21, 2023: Mr. North is resplendent: limned in gold and wreathed by fall leaves.

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

October 16, 2023: Nestorations are underway at Decorah North!

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 –

August 9, 2023: An alert DH2 on the Y-Branch.

We have news and NestFlix from Decorah and the Flyway! DH2’s successful catch of a (dead) fish was the talk of our corner of the internet today, with followers thrilled that the eaglet got a fish and annoyed that it lost it when a dump truck drove by. We also have a beautiful preening video and DH2 fiddling with and pruning leaves and twigs on the Y-Branch. DH2, I’ll send you our trimming list. It would be great if you

August 4, 2023: Our little eaglet has gotten so big! DH2 on the Y.

Happy Fri-yay, everyone! We have news and NestFlix from Decorah and the Mississippi Flyway for your viewing pleasure! In Decorah, our little eaglet is all grown up – well, for a juvenile – and receiving visitors as young eagles begin their pre-dispersal/pre-migratory wandering. It’s early August, daylight length is beginning to change more rapidly, and we’re starting to see a lot of pre-migratory behaviors here and on the Flyway, where shorebirds especially are strutting their stuff and posing with perfect

These Flyway turtles appear to have yellow 'eyebrows', which means they are false map turtles!

Looking to escape the heat? Sit down somewhere cool and enjoy our NestFlix! In Decorah, DH2 is learning the skills it will need post-dispersal. How long is our eaglet likely to stick around? Brett Mandernack’s Decorah Eagle transmitter study found that eaglets averaged 162 days of age at dispersal, which means that DH2 is most likely to disperse on or around September 15. However, we might see and hear less of our eaglet in the coming days. DH2 is almost
