The travels of Decorah bald eagle chick D1 "are a complete surprise."

Raptor Resource Project Director Bob Anderson says the travels of bald eagle chick D1 "are a complete surprise to me."

RRP volunteers strapped a GPS unit to the bald eagle earlier this year and now have been following her on a map.  D1 recently left northern Minnesota and now has returned to the Burnett County, Wisconsin lake district. 

Anderson says he sent his hand held receiver to a eagle researcher who lives in the area and he has been able to locate her.  The researcher reports that she is hanging around with an adult eagle and a three year old eagle.  He is trying to take a picture of D1.

Concludes Anderson, "Her travels are of a complete surprise to me."
