The GPS-enabled Decorah bald eagle called "D1" might have had enough of his trip to northern Wisconsin.

Raptor Resource Project Director Bob Anderson says D1 is now on a southern course after leaving an area near the St. Croix River in Wisconsin, near the Minnesota border.

Anderson had expected D-1 to stay in the Decorah area when she left the nest near the Fish Hatchery, but instead the eagle flew roughly 200 miles north the YellowLake area in northwest Wisconsin, where D1 hung out with other bald eagles.

But the latest reports are that D-1 left the lake on October 15thad appears to be heading back home to Decorah.
