Bald Eagle - Nest Decorah North
Bald eagle - description
This nest is located on a private property in Northern Iowa, Decorah.
The nest is located in white oak in a piece of forest bordering the valley. A stream flows through a field where there is a pasture of cattle. In general, eagles begin courtship in October, productive mating in late January or early February, and laying eggs in the middle to late February. Hatching usually begins in late March to early April and the eagles fly out of the nest in mid-late June. While young people usually disperse between August and October, adults remain in the territory throughout the year.
The male is known as Mr. North. The female is Decorah North Female, or DNF, which replaced Mrs. North in the summer of 2018.
The first nest in the North was built in a pine tree. The branches collapsed after the second nesting season, and the eagles moved on to the dead elm. They only nested there for one year before moving to their current location at the end of the year. In August of 2013, their nest collapsed during an extremely severe storm and slid off the nest tree. None of the tree branches were broken or damaged, so the RRP decided to build a starter nest in the same spot. By the year 2018 there will be the seventh season and the fourth nest in this territory.

Hello Petra, it is probably not good that the eagle has settled here. It will probably fight for the nest or it will make the eagles more unpleasant later

DN9 Update This young eagle is malnourished, anemic and dehydrated. Kay discovered in SOAR that DN9 has lice. Birds in poor condition usually have lice. Feather lice can climb on you, but only when searching for feathers. Kay gave DN9 fluids in the 7 evening. June and fed him a stew. Kay announced good performance this morning. This eagle is not yet interested in eating alone. Today, DN9 gets more fluids and medicines to treat lice. Once updates are available on DN9, they will be shared. Please understand that this year we have taken over 30 predators, among other adult predators who need care.... read more
It's good that D9 was found. Perhaps they can save him, he is very bitten
DNP UPDATE DN9 IS ON SOLAR IN VETERINARY CARE! We know that you are all eagerly awaiting news, and we are not different because we are waiting for news of the progress of our many amazing volunteers and support agencies. So far we know: On Decorah North ... Our cameras have a downtime when we tried to solve problems and did what we could find for our PTZ Nest. Efforts have been unsuccessful and will result in a visit to the site, and unfortunately it will have to wait until the camera maintenance time, when the eagles will not be disturbed. We will continue to use a pasture camera to monitor. While the field of vision is limited and... read more
7.6. DN9 update Since DN9 has fallen from the nest, we are watching it from the cameras and from the ground. Our eagle spent most of the day under the nesting tree and in the pastures. DN9 does not appear to have injured wings or legs and is mobile, although he has not flown since reaching the country. DNF and Mr. Native parents are sitting nearby and actively defending DN9. We do not know at this point to what extent DN9 has been affected by the flies or whether its health has been significantly affected. David Kester will follow the young eagle tomorrow morning. He is our master of ringing and has a lot of handling and evaluation experience... read more
The 22,15 camera found D9 on the ground, but as I watch it, even flies fly there
The ground team was said to be there, but there is no update yet ... It seems fine, parents will feed him on the ground.
Raptor Resource Project Decorah Northern Nest DN9 "Many of you have seen DN9 fall out of a branch where parents sit in 8: 15 hours. He sat up today, scratching his face, looked around, and seemed to lose his balance. There was also a problem in this nest, and while DN9 and parents seemed to cope with the disease, we are well aware that extremely wet spring is a bad season for insect infestation. The parents were seen earlier in the pasture and also visited the fish nest, and they both sat across the stream in their favorite tree. They know where DN9 will help us... read more
Hello Peter, thanks for the information. Perhaps the two eagles will find and can see and leave somewhere outside the infected nests. Perhaps it is a better solution for them than to stay on the faded nests. Just to find them
6.6. 19: 50 DN9 is on the ground, someone is checking it in !!
6.6. This year, RRP has a bad nesting, today DN9 has fallen from the 15 branch: 15 CET
5.6. even on the branch, the flies did not give him peace, he was completely covered by them, it was terrible, and the mom was constantly sweating. Luckily it's already young, so it can last.
5.6. it's even worse in Decorah North, the flies are everywhere, DN9 is on the branch for the first time, perhaps there will be some relief from the flies.
14: 20 CET beautiful shots on eagle close up
