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.
looks like around 5 a.m. a raccoon came in and probably ate the intruder egg
Thanks Deborah. I missed that.
Still checking out N2B. Don’t know how they could make a nest here.
Togetherness.😀
I thought for a minute there she almost had it
she comes pretty close sometimes, but I have to go to bed so I’ll have to check in the morning to see what happens
mom spent most of the night trying to dig the intruder egg out I suppose believing it is her egg
She’s still looking for the egg
we are down to 2 eggs now and the intruder egg off to the right in the sticks
