Meet D1: The Decorah Eagle

Raptor Resource Project
D1 sits on a branch at Yellow Lake

She’s known as D1. She hatched about three years ago, one of the offspring of the now famous Decorah eagles that have been followed over the internet by thousands of viewers. But D1 is special, and it’s in the way she travels. Executive director of the Raptor Resource Project Bob Anderson spoke with IPR’s Julie Englander. He says after she fledged, they outfitted D1 with a solar powered transmitter.
