Thanks, everyone, for the various updates about the 3 eaglets from Decorah. They are all in great hands at SOAR. Considering the condition they all were in (anemia, underweight, bites from the gnats, dehydrated), it may be fortuitous that they all left the nest early. Hopefully, now they will all be...

What a week in Decorah, at both nests. I think all three eaglets have been so bothered by the gnats that they have not acted in the normal manner of branching for awhile, getting their balance and coordination down, increasing how high they go in the tree, etc. The last few days have been unbelievab...

Jwin, thanks for the article about that awesome photo. I've seen the photo lots of places on Facebook. It will be strange not to have the cams at SWFEC. It's been great to continue seeing H and M. Sunnybird, I'm glad to have MRF Cam back; it is such fun! Philjo, that is a precious photo of Simba & C...

A beautiful memoriam for sweet Cookie, gone so soon, but will remain in our hearts.

Thank you, Philjo!

What a treat to see both Mom and Dad at Fort St. Vrain eagles nest recently, perching together on their favorite pole. When the two eaglets stood up, we could see them on the nest!

So happy that the Smola babes are okay this morning. I was afraid to get up this morning and look. That was kind of odd for Baroness to be away from the nest for that long, wasn't it?

So glad that all looks good this morning.

Devastating news from Big Bear. So many snowstorms for them to deal with this year. Some say that Cookie never really recovered from the last snowstorm when he was exposed somewhat. Jackie has done a tremendous job in trying to cover them, but it's tough with 6 week old eaglets. Sounds like it was d...

Phil, Dad North was spotted today 5/26 as reported in the Comments section of the livecam webpage at:

DN9 is doing so well with mantling his/her food and self-feedings.

Wonderful news to hear that DH7 is back home. Glad she was able to fly back to the nest. Keeping my fingers crossed that those owls might start to behave themselves.

Hi, Philjo Welcome back, and I hope you had a nice getaway. Sorry to hear about that darn owl attack; I sure hope DH7 will be okay.

Well, it looks like E12 may be off on her journey for real this time. It was so precious to have that extra time with her. I believe it was 144 days for her on Thursday when she was last seen; the Pond Princess record will last for a long time, I think. E12 was a real joy, as was E13 this season. It...

Philjo - have a good vacation.

Eagleslanding - so sorry to hear about the Davenport nest. I sure hope the water recedes there soon, for the eaglets, wildlife, the people and the town. Such a bad situation.

Here's an interesting article from Audubon about bill-wiping, or as we say, feaking:

Hi, Mimi! Thanks, Sunnybird for the clues to that great video. I'm not sure why you couldn't post something from YouTube, but I do remember seeing that "Bad Mama Jama" video before, and it's a really cute one.

Sorry to hear about the bad flooding in Iowa. I imagine food would be much more scarce with so much underwater. The weather in Smola has been horrendous, but it doesn't seem to phase Baron and Baroness. They just keep on carrying on, and the babies seem to be fine. They are such admirable parents. W...
