Raptor Resource Project

Raptor Resource Project

Established in 1988, the non-profit Raptor Resource Project specializes in the preservation of birds of prey. Our mission is to preserve and strengthen raptor populations, expand participation in raptor preservation, and help foster the next generation of preservationists.

Our website and bird cams can be found here: www.raptorresource.org
Our Ustream channel can be found here: www.ustream.tv/decoraheagles
Our Facebook page can be found here: facebook.com/RaptorResourceProject/

The videos curated in this channel are all from our nests unless otherwise noted. They include the Decorah Eagles, the Decorah North Nest Eagles, the Fort St. Vrain Eagles, the Great Spirit Bluff Falcons, the Marshy Point Ospreys (a joint project from the good people over at the Marshy Point Nature Center), and Peregrine falcons from around our various nests.

    I remember the weekend before he left, he was stockpiling fish. It keep snowing a lot even though it was mid April, and then another major storm on 4/18/18 and I thought, he new it was coming and why he brought so many fish, and then snapping a few shots and the next day my heart was broken, so much so I could hardly function at work, I had to be home watching when he showed up again, but he didn’t. Watching Mom cry out repeatedly was heartbreaking. The male eagle that showed up for the rest of summer, I’ve always thought may have been one of their eagles. Mom proved once again how amazing and spectacular she was taking care of them successfully. As far as this eagle couple, they will always be my favorite. I still can’t talk out loud about Dad or D14 without my throat closing up and tears. Never seen any eagle as magnificent as Decorah Dad … I’ve always wondered if Dad just took off to the Mississippi, unlike the majority, I thought Dad was grumpy towards Mom the prior weekend. I have noticed mature eagles never to be seen again seem to leave during storms.

    Young raptors often get their talons locked on a glove due to excitement. For some reason, when they try to release, they do not coordinate the release physically with their desire to release. They just keep trying to pull their feet off. Often I have to manually release a talon for them.

    You can see birds in the early morning hours with the WSR 88D NWS radars. But this isn’t it. It’s just ground clutter from the radar sides in the cold air behind a cold front. And I spent 38 years as a national weather service meteorologist.

    One of the most endearing and bittersweet interaction/connection of Bald eagle pair I have ever seen. Rarely do we ever see a pair face to face like that protecting chicks from the element. This visual will remain in my minds eye forever. And then to know that this was dads last visit. And…how Mom protected, provided food and fledged ALL three is MIRACULOUS!

    I think of him so often. Such a good provider, for years. He didn't want to leave the nest that day. He always seemed most content sitting and incubating/brooding the eggs and chicks. I remember he would sit for hours in the nest even before eggs were laid. Dad certainly did his job. He and his two mates provided the world with over 30 more eagles over the years. When he was lost and Mom called and called for him, it was heartbreaking. She did an amazing job of fledging their last three chicks all by herself. She endured the cold and still provided for them all. Brave girl never faltered. Thank you, Dad Decorah, for giving the world your progeny, most of whom we hope are still flying free.
