March 20. 2023: HM glows in the bright, warm sunlight.

What are we looking forward to this week? On Friday, we’ll be hosting a movie night at Convergence Ciderworks in Decorah! Come watch EaglePower with John, Dave, and Amy, meet Dave’s Red-tailed Hawk Jewel, learn more about our programs, and drink delicious cider. Doors open at 5:30 and the program starts at 6pm. More here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1404200043743501. We’re in what Bob used to call the incubation doldrums at our Decorah Hatchery and Xcel Energy Fort St. Vrain eagle nests. But we’re

Another Egg for Ma FSV? As of this post, we have one egg at Decorah North (hatch estimated on or around March 28), two eggs in Decorah (hatch estimated on or around April 4), and two eggs at Fort St. Vrain (hatch estimated on or around April 10). Ma usually lays three eggs, so it’s possible she could lay again on March 9th. Are the geese going to lay eggs again? We’ve seen them checking out N2B, but HD doesn’t

February 26, 2023: A glimpse of the first egg in Decorah.

February 20, 2023: DNF near the North nest at 7:30 PM

We’re not sure why DNF is so much later this year, but she and Mr. North showed up this afternoon and she’s perched near the nest as I write this. Talons crossed for today or tomorrow! Speaking of talons: HD’s toe is looking better, although we don’t know whether or not he will keep

February 13, 2023: Mr. North and DNF are getting their egg cup ready!

What are we looking forward to for the week of February 13? Tick-tock egg-clock, everybody…we’re getting egg-cited! Eggs at Decorah North. DNF laid her first egg on February 16th in 2021 and 2022. Will we have a three-peat this year? It seems possible, especially since the two appear to be working on an egg cup: https://youtu.be/ODY5bU10M6s (we get a nice view of the cup at around one minute in). HM and HD have finally gotten their groove on! We don’t
