Hard to believe 6 years ago this handsome boy was rescued never to fly again. He is an Ambassador now and an adult already. He is called Decorah now but he will always be D20 to me. My fav has been D14 who is no longer with us and my niece's fav D18 was D20's nest mate. If you want more information on this handsome raptor check it out here:

So this morning we had an oops per RRP:
A
quick update - we've found some number of fledglings, although we're
not sure who or how many since ID at a distance is really, really tough!
One of the eaglets was seen briefly hanging upside down this morning!
That most commonly happens when a fledgling either blows a landing or
slips off a perch. Bald eagles have a ratcheting mechanism in their feet
that they can't always unlock right away. We're not sure who it was,
but they were able to disconnect and fly away safely!
