This is the unedited, quickly scrawled notes from year four of my documentary (partial year). In 2012, Lisa will begin year eight with the eagles.

Lisa's Bald Eagle Documentary™
Lisa Loucks Christenson began her bald eagle documentary in 2005 and has written a private archive book for each year of her story. Her eagle project has been featured on Ron Schara's Minnesota Bound, The Big Wild, The Post-Bulletin, KTTC NEWS, The National Eagle Center, and will be featured in the upcoming issue of Travel World International, among displayed on the walls of her gallery. She offers what a web cam can't: shots of the eagles surroundings, interaction with other wildlife, and the ongoing relationship between parents and offspring, even into the second year and beyond. She has photographed over a million images that are in her private library, and over 600 hours of raw eagle footage that will be later made into a video for resale. Her project is entirely self-funded from her art sales, and cards she sells at her gallery. She does not accept donations, but would appreciate your support in prayers.

Business Heard on the Street: As seen on TV: 7,000 pounds of Rochester fudge Share Posted: Oct 31, 2011, 5:00 am By Jeff Kiger The Post-Bulletin, Rochester MN Holiday treats are already adding pounds for David Christenson. Thankfully, it is the Rochester chocolate artist's workload that is rapidly growing, not his waistline. To fill an order for an upcoming appearance on the omnipresent QVC shopping channel, he needs to make an avalanche of fudge — a whopping 7,000 pounds' worth — in the next few weeks. Yes, 7,000 pounds! The calorie total must be mind-boggling and well beyond my limited math skills.

Lisa Loucks-Christenson’s Collector Print: Fall Flight 2006 Donated to Ducks Unlimited Rochester, MN (PRWEB) September 12, 2006 -- Lisa Loucks-Christenson’s Collector Print: Fall Flight 2006 Donated to Ducks Unlimited Lisa Loucks-Christenson of Rochester, Minnesota, is donating what she said is a rain, fall, and Ducks Unlimited inspired piece. Loucks-Christenson said, "What started out as just a cool, rainy Sunday with the agenda to fulfill the ‘desires of her heart,’ that being to create some new artwork for the Rochester Area Chapter Ducks Unlimited auction, instead turned into a frenzy of wings, as fall-colored feathered birds began flocking to her vision." Loucks-Christenson picked Sunday September 10, 2006, as the day to go and explore the wetlands after working on her longest running documentary: Walk The Burn, a study of a marsh, which is at 520 consecutive days already.

Eyeball to eyeball with nature Lisa Loucks Christenson began photographing in the Whitewater Wildlife Management Area in April, 2005, and has been there daily ever since -- no matter what. John Weiss/Post-Bulletin Rating: N/A ELBA -- In the next few years, you'll be able to sit in your recliner, sip a cup of coffee, and enjoy crisp, startling images of bald eagles raising their young, mosquitoes feeding on the blood of a frog and wildflowers in the heart of the Whitewater Valley. Savor them, enjoy the work of Lisa Loucks Christenson of Rochester. But know that she went through more than a year of mud and mosquitoes, cold and fog, snow and heat to get them. You should also know that she loved it, enjoyed the daily trip to the valley in snowstorm and fog, relished slithering through muck to sneak up on a frog, and waiting for hours to get a shot of an eagle.

LIFE IN THE NEST
Whitewater Valley, MN (KTTC-TV) -- It's another day on Lisa Christenson's journey. A journey she captures through the lens of her camera. Nature photographer Lisa Christenson started down this path four years ago. She was studying the sandhill cranes in the Whitewater Valley, but the small white heads of the bald eagle caught her attention. Lisa Christenson says, "I heard that faint cry of an eaglet and I said this is cool and I will be back here every day until he flies and i was." But soon Lisa realized something more was happening in the eagle nest. "I kept seeing babies coming back into the nest which is unheard of but the babies weren't leaving." ***** Lisa Loucks Christenson's (owner White Wold Creek™) Bald Eagle Documentary

Hopeful Hart

Alicia Hart has researched a family mystery, written a book, and is now contemplating a return to her counseling practice when she is faced with a different alternative. Thomas Camp proposes that she act as a life coach to him while doing genealogy research to determine where the mental illness in his family originated. He would also like to know what symptoms his ancestors demonstrated so his psychiatrist can get a better handle on his problems. The final request he makes is for Alicia to determine if he is being paranoid or if someone is really stalking him. Her quest leads her to Athens Mental Hospital and to archives all over the state of Ohio.

In pursuing the answers to these questions Alicia finds she had put both herself and her client into jeopardy.

Only a miracle will save them. Will it come in time?
