Decorah Eagle's Other Nest ~ Oct. 2012


Updated 22 minutes ago


This album is pictures of the new nest that the Decorah Eagles (Mom & Dad) have begun to build for themselves. We believe that this is another cottonwood tree. For many answers to questions, please read comments on the page under the main post about the Decorah Eagle's new nest, as that is where we are monitoring for any questions. Thanks.

A video tribute to D14
Now there is only one remaining~The famous Decorah eagles have lost another member from their 2012 family of three.
According to the Raptor Resource Project, director Bob Anderson found D14 dead Monday near Rockford, Iowa. The eagle, which was one of three hatched by the Decorah pair in 2012, was electrocuted after landing or trying to land on a power pole.
An examination of the eagle's body showed he had been in good health before his death. The RRP had been tracking him with a transmitter.
D12 from the same brood was also electrocuted earlier this year.

The Raptor Resource Project says many newer poles have bird safety devices on them because the electrocution of birds can cause fires.

The loss of D14 from electrocution, along with D12, is just heartbreaking. If you would like to light a candle for D14, here is the link:

Decorah eagle home for the holidays
D1 spent three months this summer above the Arctic Circle before flying back to Iowa


Christmas may be is just another day in the life of a bald eagle, but D1, the parapatetic offspring of the world-famous Decorah eagles, is home for the holidays.

D1, who spent three months this summer above the Arctic Circle, “was right in downtown Decorah on Saturday morning,” said Raptor Resource Project Director Bob Anderson, who has used a satellite transmitter mounted on D1’s back to track her many thousands of miles of wandering since she left the nest 18 months ago.

When Anderson switched on his receiver Saturday morning, he said he got a strong signal right from his kitchen table on Locust Street in Decorah.

That signal increased in strength and maxed out as he drove across the Upper Iowa River on the Fifth Avenue bridge, where he spotted D1 perched in a tree overlooking the river.

“It’s completely amazing that this same eagle, which spent three months this summer in Polar Bear Provincial Park on Hudson Bay in northernmost Ontario, Canada, is again back in Decorah,” Anderson said.

Anderson photographed D1 from a distance, but she spooked when he drove closer in an attempt to get a better image.

“This is good. She has a fear of people that can only help her in life,” Anderson said.

D1, which signifies Decorah first satellite, was fitted with a satellite transmitter July 12, 2011, to help Anderson and other researchers learn what becomes of young northern eagles after they leave the nest.

Last year D1 took a four-month, 900-mile tour of Minnesota and Wisconsin before returning to Decorah on Dec. 28.

Anderson said he doubts that familial bonds have anything to do with her attraction to Decorah. “At this point, if she returned to the nest, her parents would probably chase her off,” he said.

Earlier this year Anderson fitted one of the 2012 hatchlings with a satellite transmitter. That eagle, dubbed D14, rarely strayed far from home. It was electrocuted in late October near Rockford, about 50 miles southwest of its natal nest at the Decorah Fish Hatchery.

Another of this year’s hatchlings was also electrocuted. D12 was found dead July 1 at the base of a power pole near the nest at the hatchery.
