No climbing routes at Devils Tower were closed due to peregrine falcon nests this summer, as the bird failed to nest in the butte for the first time in seven years.

Thanks to SOAR (and all involved in reporting, rescue, transport, etc.) for giving this beautiful bald eagle a chance to fly in the wild again after she had lead poisoning!  She was released back in Winnishiek County yesterday.
