00h50 Yesterday, from https://www.facebook.com/RaptorResourceProject
Where are D27 and D36? The two sent postcards earlier this week! D27 is home for the fall and D36 is continuing his Iowa staycation just a little west of Decorah. Their travels look like this...
D27: Home for the Fall!
In late July, D27 sent a postcard from just inside Manitoba: the farthest north that any of our Decorah eagles have traveled. She started her fall migration on August 10, traveling 79.1 miles SSW to an unnamed lake 58 miles ENE of Sachiago Lake. After several short hops of 30 or so miles, she flew 145 miles south between August 16 and August 18, and an incredible 338 miles between August 19 and August 22! She flew within 3.9 miles of her natal nest on August 29th and is currently hanging out in the Postville area, about 18 miles south. Since January 1 of this year, she has traveled an incredible 3,190 miles. That is a lot of wind beneath her wings!
While looking at D27's map, I got curious about her daylight length profile. We know that daylight length pulls a lot of strings in a bird’s body, and we also know that D27’s daylight length changes quite a bit with the seasons and her latitude.
- Between November 15, 2021 through February 1, 2022, D27 experienced less than 10 hours of daylight per day.
- D27 was above the 50th parallel from June 1 though August 19. She averaged 16 hours and 13 minutes of daylight while she was there: an increase of 39% over her solar minimum. Her solar maximum occurred on June 23, when she experienced 16 hours and 55 minutes of day.
- D27 did not experience true night from June 1 through August 9. Between August 9 and August 19, true night went from 1 minute, 3 seconds to 3 minutes, 33 seconds.
Changes in latitude might mean changes in attitude, but they also mean changes in daylight length! Between August 12 and August 22, D27 lost over an hour of daylight as she moved from the 54th parallel to the 45th parallel. The days will remain shorter in Decorah until the fall equinox on Thursday, September 22.
D36: The Iowa Staycation Continues!
How is D36 doing? Our little homebody is continuing his Iowa staycation, wandering back and forth between the Turkey River and Ten-Mile Creek. Do subadult male eagles travel less than their female counterparts? It’s tough to say. I checked D36’s logs and he’s traveled 2096 miles so far this year: quite a bit less than older half-sibling D27! However, he traveled more miles overall in his first two years compared to hers.
- From September 1, 2020 to September 1, 2022, D36 traveled about 7,950 miles.
- From September 1, 2017 to September 1, 2019, D27 traveled about 7,830 miles. She’s flown an incredible 19,199 miles since we started tracking her on August 9 of 2017: far more than I’ve flown in my lifetime! We'll see if D36 catches up.
Thanks so much for the postcards, eagles! Fly high and stay fierce – winter is just around the corner and the Old Farmer's Almanac is forecasting a cold and snowy winter for Iowa this year!
A thousand thanks to Brett Mandernack and the staff of Eagle Valley for sharing their maps, expertise, and data with us! To follow the travels of any of the eagles we’ve tracked, please visit our interactive maps at https://www.raptorresource.org/learning ... eagle-map/.

9-25-22 Day Trip
Story and photos by Robin Brumm
It had been about a month since I went to Decorah and I have been eager to get back over there to see if I could find both Mom & DM2, and the new pair of Hatchery Eagles. Since Sunday was supposed to be cool, but sunny, I decided to head over early so I left at dark o’clock. Thank goodness dark o’clock isn’t as early as it used to be!
I got to Decorah and of course my car automatically had to drive through the hatchery first, so I checked out N1 and the bluffs to see if the new Hatchery pair was there. They weren’t at N1, but I grabbed my binoculars and scanned the bluff. I did see at least one of them in a dead tree. The tree where they often perch on the bluff, is off to the right and above where Mom and DM2 used to perch. I find it interesting that I have not seen them perch in any of the places that Mom and DM2 typically would perch. It was still too dark to get a decent picture, so I decided to head over to the N3 area.
I got to the nest area, parked the car, grabbed my stuff and headed down the trail. On the way down the trail, I may have muttered a few, “please be there, please be there” under my breath, lol. I got down to the N3 area and scanned all the preferred perch spots. Wait.. there is an eagle on the top of a broken branch! I looked through my binoculars but it was facing the other direction! Finally it looked to the side. Hmmm, was that Mom or DM2? Well, I didn’t have to decide because just then, another eagle flew in and perched on the top of a different branch next to it. I took some pictures and zoomed in on my camera. Both of them, Yay! DM2 was there first on the higher branch, and Mom flew into the lower branch. After looking at my pictures and comparing them to some older photos, I believe they were both perched on what used to be branches of the N3 tree.
They perched there for quite a while. Eventually DM2 flew off and circled around the area. I thought he was going to land on a thin branch but he flew slightly above it, grabbed the branch and flew into a group of trees. About a minute later he came flying back, grabbed another branch and flew into the same group of trees. He did that one more time, and finally flew off behind the trees. There was a big tree in front of the group of trees he flew into, so I couldn’t see a nest, or see exactly where he went. He came back quickly each time, so wherever he was putting those branches it was not very far from where N3 was located. Meanwhile, Mom was intently watching DM2 carry branches around… or maybe I should say she was supervising! 😉 She stayed for about an hour before she flew off in the same direction that DM2 flew. I waited a bit but nobirdy showed up, so I decided to go back to the hatchery.
As I drove up to the corner by the hatchery, I looked toward the N1 tree and saw both of the new hatchery eagles perched in the spot we would often see them perching at night when the camera was broadcasting. So I pulled around the corner and walked over to the bridge to get some photos. I still have problems ID’ing the new pair, especially when there is only one of them. This time they were both there, so I could see the size difference. I’m pretty sure that HM (hatchery mom) was on the left, and HD (hatchery dad) was on the right. They stayed for a while and then flew off. It was a breezy, beautiful day for soaring, and they both quickly circled up into the thermals and disappeared over the trees.
As I was driving home, I wondered about Mom and DM2. It looked like he was bringing in branches for a new nest, and I wonder, if he really is starting a new nest, will I be able to see it once the leaves fall off the trees. As long as they are happy doing what eagles do, I’ll be happy for them… Here’s to a successful 2023 nesting season for them! ❤
