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.
don’t know when it was laid but it was there around 5 this morning, looking back on the video looks like it was laid sometime before midnite? or maybe it was buried under the others and she dug it out, or maybe it’s a new mother?? either way it looks like maybe she is done eating them and we will see some babies in about a month
some reasons for eating their eggs…nutritional deficiency, environmental stress, and learned behavior like if one accidentally gets broken and they learn to like the taste of it why would canada goose eat their eggs – Search
3 eggs now! and the nest even looks cozier with the downy feathers in there
