In 2005, Lisa began filming and shooting stills for her  590+ days of her Walk The Burn Documentary and became interested in a bald eagle nest nearby. She decided to take on the entire life cycle of a bald eagles life and follow a pair that had never reproduced and to record and share their entire life cycle. The birds were at least nine years old when she discovered them, and she has been their documenting their 16 offspring over the past seven years from their very first eaglet, ever. She has over 400 hours of raw bald eagle behavior never captured, tracking the eaglets offnest in the wild, without tracking devices by using her gut instinct and knowledge of their nesting behaviors.  She is preparing to begin her eighth year with the eagles and their offspring, documenting the private lives of several pairs of eagles, their habits, and private and continue writing and filming their stories through the seasons, along with the side documentaries that seem to find her while she works daily in the woods, marshes, sloughs, and blufflands. Her wildlife documentaries are frequently exhibited at her galleries, used during her frequent speaking programs, exhibited at the National Eagle Center,  featured on Ron Schara's Minnesota Bound, printed in newspapers, aired on television news, radio, and reproduced online and in other print media.  A lot of readers have requested to know when they may purchase her eagle books. Lisa made the decision to hold off the release of her eagle books, one written for every year of the project,  until the completion of her years in the field with them. The end is in God's hands, whether it is due to her own health, or when the eagles lives have been lived out their lives. They say eagles live 18-24 years in the wild, some living longer, like people. Lisa hopes to continue their story every year until the eagles, who know her and have even warded off bear, cougar, coyotes, wolves, and even an occasional deer they must have felt came to close to her change her direction. Many of these animals have been subject in her side documentaries. During the past seven years, some of her documentaries were disturbed, animals killed, and like she experienced on her 590+ marsh documentary, there were people who thought it was funny to destroy and cut down the very subjects of her project, destroying about 80% of the subjects she documented daily for that book. Men who followed sneaking around in the woods, setting bullet shells out in front of her subjects, stealing her equipment, vandalizing her truck, turning all the lights on inside even the flashlight so everything would be dead on her return. That was during our -45 below weather, and shame on them, but I'm still here. Men who were doing just about anything and everything to try and scare or intimidate me out of "their"woods.   One day, on a lead, some men were caught. Lisa recalls the sheriffs' words when he said, "I don't know how to tell you this, but they just wanted to mess with the nature photographer." For this reason, Lisa has decided to hold back the release of her eagle books so the eagles lives may remain undisturbed from the added attention their continuing story was already bringing from men who felt her walk was not going to happen in their woods.  It's hard to believe that people would or could be so cruel. So remember that fellow documentarians. Sometimes, you need to trust the eagles because they don't lie to you.  At this time, Lisa is only releasing her side wildlife documentaries, books that can't be disturbed while she works at them daily, and her Whitewater Falls Series holds many of the truths she discovered while working in the field writing and documenting her real wildlife documentaries.  In 2008, she founded White Wolf Creek™, her signature wildlife gallery & gift store, she moved her gallery to Rochester, Minnesota in 2010 and expanded her gallery to include a  wild game bistro and her husbands' homemade fudge, a QVC television featured food item on Dave Venable's show. eCompass Business Center™ is her 26 year old business support center that handles her businesses calls, orders, customer support, website technologies she developed, and packaging and shipping all their books, fudge, gifts, as well as provide support for a host of national businesses, authors, and publishers who use a wide variety of her business services from writing, photos, design, orders, dispatching, and more.
Lisa Loucks Christenson Wildlife Documentaries: One comment I get when speaking, is "Oh, you name the animals?" Almost as if I shouldn't. I realize many people feel it is wrong to name the eagles, their offspring, or the animals on my documentaries. You can call them what you want. I, on the other hand, have watched their expressions when called by name, I've had animals approach with my voice speaking to them, and I believe the animals, and our birds, even the plants enjoy our company and find refuge in our presence. Did you know that in the bible, Adam was chosen to name the animals?  Genesis 2:19-20 "And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.  And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field;" King James Version (KJV) Think on that, bully me later. Eaglet 1, eaglet 2 are still names, are they not?  I'm not Adam, but I do find it easier when cover eleven eagle nests to give them names rather than have eleven eaglet 1s, and so on.  I'm seeking to understand our wildlife in a way that isn't scientific, or by the text book. I write my experiences as spiritual journeys, as a way to honor God for His creation, for His creatures, His beauty even in the ashes of a controlled burn marsh that I walked for 590+ days. I saw a lot of ugliness in the human spirit through that fire, too. I hope when I am finish putting together the charred remains of my Walk the Burn documentary, it will inspire others to walk through the fires in their lives too.

The Canada Goose Story Follow along with Lisa as she documents the lives of Canada geese raising their offspring. The Wolves of Whitewater This book is still a WIP, the journey begins on the day of the March 2007 flash flood as Lisa and two conservation officer students from St. Paul, Minnesota set off to explore an area where the wolves were. After six hours of trudging up snow covered bluffs, three to four feet in some areas, they found the evidence they were looking for. Little do they know the temperatures would suddenly rise, and melt the recent 29 inches of snow creating a flash flood scene from a horror movie, one that swallowed the land with every step forcing them back up the bluffs, trapped by ravines that had grown into giant waterfalls. Usually up is the way out, but not that day, instead they had to cross the swollen ravine on a thin log to escape the raging waters to reach the truck--if it was even still there.   (Lisa also has her fictional series The Wolves of Whitewater Falls, but this is the true story). Other books not listed, purposely not to disclose her findings, until the completion of the books.
