Freestyle Friday in Decorah :wuv:

From Raptor Resource Project:

February 7, 2024: Return of the stubborn stick! Mr. North accidentally unearths the stubborn wishbone stick from February 2nd, launching a new round of stick follies. He and DNF work together - and sometimes at odds! - to battle the stick back into place. Maybe they should each grab an end and snap it before it pokes somebody's eye out!

This video is a lot of fun - classic sticky business! - but also gives us a nice look at eagle courtship. Look for pecking, footing, body brushing, and soft noises that aren't part of the formally defined cannon of eagle vocalizations, but make me think of courtship chirps and the wheedling that females direct at male mates bearing food gifts.

Why are nestorations part of bonding? It goes something like this: birds that build awesome nests relative to other members of their species must be healthy, high-quality mates. Think about bald eagles! As we’ve seen at all of our nests, eagles spend a lot of time procuring and hauling wood and soft materials into the nest. This is an energetically costly activity that requires them to be in good shape: well-fed, skilled at flying, and relatively parasite-free. While different things indicate quality to different species of birds, large nests appear to signify quality to bald eagles. Tick-tock egg clock: DNF will probably lay her first egg eight to ten days from now!
