Two from the same year is more than too much.  D12 died across from the hatchery just north of the nest.  D14 was about 70 miles WSW of Decorah.

Here is a video and some pictures from when D14 was released after getting his transmitter put on...I've just been in tears this afternoon

It's like taking an RV and parking it on a roof.

It does look about the size of some of those big ones with the awnings that come out/retract for the patio. 

Oh I'd love one.  I'm thinking that's what a cousin of mine had years ago, I'd never in my life seen a cat that huge and neat.

Oooops   

It would drive me nuts, but it's amazing how all the space was used and things hidden.  Looked like he had quite a view from there too.   

Happiest of birthdays Nora in FL (I still remember when we started the FL and MN with two of us  )  and many, many more!

I'd never seen that one either, good ole Orville 

I wondered if that's who he is, but wasn't sure if that was a 1 in front of the 4.  Thanx.

What year did Orville show up at the nestbox?  I've got one from 2005, but not sure if that one is Orville and there are five eggs, no birds.  I can keep checking though.  Could someone tell me if Orville is here though?  I should know what he looks like by now, but.......

Maybe Snow doesn't have an Orville of his own 

Happiest of birthdays Ei and many, many more!

Bobbie, branching is when the eaglet begins to perch on branches outside the nest.

Gee it should, but here is the long one if you want to try that one, Nora
