You are watching Decorah Goose cams at the N2B and N1 nests. There are currently 2 constructed eagle nests at the fish hatchery. They have been named N1 and N2B. N1 was rebuilt by RRP in September 2021.
Which nest is which:
N1 has more sticks on the nest, no wood chips and the Y branch. N2B has wood chips on the nest. The camera switches back and forth between the two.
This pair of Canadian Geese decided to nest at the N2B nest in the spring of 2022, 2023, 2024 and again this year(2025). The two nests are about 700ft apart.
Mama goose will begin incubation once she is done laying eggs(should be around 5 to 7 total).
Incubation lasts about 28 days before we see a hatch. The goslings will remain in the nest for up to 48 hours before jumping out. If you don’t see any eggs it’s because she covers them up when away from the nest.
This camera was Set up and is maintained by the Raptor Resource Project, a non-profit organization for the preservation of falcons, eagles, ospreys, hawks, and owls.
I wonder if mom finally gave up. She left about 9 p.m. and it’s now 10:30, and she hasn’t come back. I heard her honking down below, but nothing now. She didn’t even bother to cover them up before she left.

That poor mama. As if she doesn’t have enough stress. Ugh. Looks like we lost one of the 5 gosslings. Only 4 this morning. Could be another family but doubtful.

I saw an egg roll down over the edge of the nest, maybe about 4 o’clock. About 7:23 she tried to get it back in the nest and she almost got it, but it rolled away from her again. This time it’s really wedged into that spot. I don’t know if she can get it back out now.
