D1 is back! Bob writes:

"The famous Decorah eagle D1 has returned home once again from spending three months in Polar Bear Provincial Park. Her transmitter turned on early yesterday evening and this morning Orlan Love and I set off at 7:00 AM to see if we could locate her. We were very surprised to immediately get a signal from the satellite receiver as we were heading out of town on Montgomery street in Decorah. We were able to determine that she was on the north side of the river not too far from Gunderson Lutheran Clinic. Even though we were getting a strong signal we could not see her due to the leaves on the trees. We found an area that would allow us to hike but the land was posted with numerous no trespassing signs. We located one of the owners of the land and we were granted access. Orlan and I then set off on across the field with the receiver announcing higher readings with each minute of data burst. As the receiver told us were were getting near we slowed our approach, scanning each and every tree. All of sudden the receiver gave a reading that was off the scale, telling me we were within 30 meters. It was then that we could make out D1 perched high in a tree. She took flight and Orlan was able to capture some images of her flying, but my camera was stuck in telephoto mode. She flew a short distance to a nearby tree but the tree was on the other side of the river. We were elated on our hike back to the car. We drove back to the clinic area and captured a second image of her facing the camera, showing her head starting to turn white and lots of white on the under side of her tail.

When we first created the Decorah Eagle Cam I was often asked by people “where are the eagles from last year and the year before?” By placing a very expensive solar powered satellite transmitter on this eagle we have learned so very much. I don’t think anyone would have speculated that this NE Iowa eagle would spent her summers high above the tree line in the land of the polar bear only to return to Decorah each autumn.

A link to a map comparing her spring and fall migrations can be found here: http://www.raptorresource.org/maps/pdf_m...0comparison.pdf

I'll be updating the interactive maps this evening. Those can be found here: http://www.raptorresource.org/maps/latest.php
