Thanks very much, Finn.  Very useful info.  I'm soaking in as much as I can.  Back in pre-history the Mound Builders made islands in the Mississippi.  I know of one up near Winona, Minnesota that has been studied, but I don't know much else, and I'm infinitely curious.

I hope I have the right thread here, it looks like it.....I'm waiting to see the ice breaking up among other things.  This was just after 5 PM today (March 17th)

Bald eagles, lots of ducks, a few Canada Geese, pelicans, a quick aerial view of some tundra swans....and it isn't even officially Spring!  It was an active day today at the Flyway Cam!

Heads up on the flyway! BOLO for an antenna and/or backpack!

It looks like D27 has decided to join the eagle party on the Mississippi River! She left Decorah on March 13 and flew NNW out to the Bluffton area, not far from Bob's old farmstead and falcon breeding barns, before heading east to the Mississippi river. She is currently spending time on the Minnesota Slough just east of New Albin, Iowa. This area is rich in food resources and quite close to one of our falcon sites. We can't help but hope that we get a glimpse of her on the Flyway cam if she decides to take the Big River north for a while! Stay safe, D27! We wish you the best wherever the wind and your wings take you!

To explore the travels of all of the eagles we've tracked, visit our interactive maps at https://www.raptorresource.org/learning-tools/eagle-map/. A million thanks to Brett Mandernack and the staff of Eagle Valley for sharing their data, maps, and expertise with all of us!

Thanks for making the Flyway Cam easier to find in the forum. It's great fun to watch the migration activities. Not the best screen caps, but yesterday a whole bunch of eagles were waiting out on the ice for something to happen, and this morning a couple of Tundra Swans were ice-surfing and walking around near grasses. Lots of open water now.

The Sierra Club has an article about 6 bird-watching cameras to watch and the Flyway Cam is first on the list:  https://www.sierraclub.org/sierra/6-exciting-birdwatching-webcams

Just now reading this thread. Thanks, PinkEagle for opening it up.

Finn, this is really cool that the Sierra Club chose the Mississippi Flyway Cam as the first one to zone on.  An interesting selection on the rest also.  So many cams to watch, so little time. :)

Oops, Finn! Sorry, but I didn't see your post. So exciting that the flyway cam appears first on their list!

It really says something about how unique a camera this is with the opportunity to watch all the different birds passing through the Lake Onalaska WI/MN area on their way up (or down in the fall) the Mississippi River Flyway. Good job RRP!
