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 meant lighting. Only one egg {?}. Looks like nest has been raided. Torn apart. Does anyone know or saw if something happened? Guess Mother Nature won out on this one. Sad/ Wish I would have watched longer.

I think it’s the lightening. I don’t like this camera view. Both mom and dad were on and off the nest a lot tonight. I doubt those eggs are viable. Uncovered all day. So sad.

is this the leucistic one?
If by some miracle the goslings hatch, they are going to have a hard time navigating on those sticks and around all the holes.
that one egg is pretty deep in there
Dad not putting any weight on his wounded leg. Must hurt. Infection possibly. Poor thing.
yes, it could have gotten infected from the raccoon bite I suppose
but disinterested. Typo!
