Lisa, thanks for all your great pics of the eagles at Decorah in 2024.  It's heartening to see them perching and fishing the pond and the Trout Run Creek area.  Let's hope they make a New Year's resolution to nest somewhere within camera range in 2025.   ;D

Happy New Year to all who watch and post pics here! 
Eventually, RRP will set up the 2025 versions of the nest sites.
For now, it's good to see HM and HD perching in each others' pockets, a combination of the breeding season starting and a way to keep warm on these freezing days.  It think both pics are at the fishing corner and high on the bluffs above.
Here's a view of N2B's new look, from work done by RRP in the fall or late summer, I think.  Wouldn't it be great to have eagles nest here again.

Another very cold morning at Decorah.  Four eagles perched in the mid-bluff area trees at about 7:30 AM.  Two are probably HM & HD, one of them in a nice closeup about 8:00.  No pic, but a really nice flyover around the Pond near the same time.  And at 9:30, one was perched above N1, with a nice long flyoff view past the N2B tree and towards the pond bluff area.
