Decorah Eagles 2023
« on: January 01, 2023, 01:46:00 AM »
The New Year has arrived here abouts.
Just as a Nanosecond bow to stern of a artificial line in time had just passed.

My end of 12/31/2022 thought is of Bob Anderson and his vision

All the folks that make this happen and let my typed words see your eyes have so raised the torch.

What a great spinning web of awesomeness has come of an idea of putting a camera on a bald eagle nest.
It brings people together from all over the globe and makes them think.
Inadvertently unfolded untold unchecked environmental awareness.

A True Legacy.

Check out the rewind from about noon to 3:00 for good flying, fishing the pond, and perching, mostly by HD and some by HM.  HD also brought the head of a rabbit to the Y for mid-afternoon snack closeups.

Great pics, STL

A few random pics from Decorah today - HM & HD leave the bluffs this morning and head over to N1, tree below the first bluff seems to be a favorite (both are perched), one of the pair leaving the tree, and HM on T1

I ususally go by size and can't see enough. But, from what I can see,  will 'guess'  HM .

Phyl, not sure which eagle you are calling HM, but both of them were perching in the N1 branches overnight and into daybreak. Upper left, and lower right.

About 8:00 AM, they were doing some nestorations.  HM brought a large branch that they both moved around.  Then in a view of HM on the Y, it looks like she has lost a long wing feather on one side.  Other views (but no pics) look the same.

Great pics, STL & Phyl

My observations just from watching, HD usually perches on the upper branch and HM on that lower branch.
