Lisa Loucks Christenson is the publisher of Loucks-Christenson Publishing™, a wildlife photographer, author of several books and book series, and host of Lisa's Walk The Talk Show™. 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.
