Iowa Public Television to premier a documentary about the Decorah bald eagles

Iowa Public Television has announced its program, "The Eagles of Decorah," will premiere Wednesday, March 8th, at 6:30 p.m.

More than 200 hours of footage was filmed over a ten-year period, then compiled by IPTV to document the full story of Decorah's bald eagles and former Raptor Resource Project Director Bob Anderson, who died in 2015.

"The Eagles of Decorah" takes a look at the lives of bald eagles, featuring the world famous Decorah Eagles.  After a violent thunderstorm destroyed the nest in 2015, IPTV followed the efforts of the Raptor Resource Project to rebuild and restore the nest.

Said IPTV senior producer Andrew Batt, "We've spent hundreds of hours with Bob Anderson and even more hours watching, waiting and filming the eagles."
