Great pics, Lisa, and thanks to the camera operators for finding the Hatchery pair in their "new" area and favorite farther-away perches.

Cold, windy morning at Decorah.  HM perched on a big branch below N1 for a while before 8:00.

Great pics, STL!

HM also perched on the front of N1 it looks like right before the pics you posted.

Great to see HM near N1.  After the early morning sightings, the eagles here and at DNN seem to have hunkered down out of the cold wind today.

HD & HD on Spooky tree.  HD eats a fish while HM watches.  HM moves to N1 and picks at nestovers.

Morning pics from Decorah - HM & HD were perched in various spots around the hatchery.  HD on the pines by raceways, on Spooky tree, HM above the N1 cams and on pine by visitors center.  Both flew out behind N2B area, where they perched in a tree back there.

Lisa, are they teasing us?  Or could they be planning a grand Christmas present by re-locating to N1 or even N2B?  Time will tell.
