My map eyes are tired and they could be playing tricks on the cam location.
Trying to make the coordinates match the imagery or imagery match the coords.  :-\ 

I have no way of verifying the dates of the imagery in the screen caps attached below.
(However DigitalGlobe imagery tends to be more "fresh" than others on a county GIS website).

But everything sure fits the migratory bird bill.  ;D

I don't know, I'll post the images up and you all decide.  8)

Remarkable shots BL!
When the camera looks toward the Minnesota side the main channel is blocked by land and trees.  You can't see barges (or even tug searchlights) when they pass, which you should be able to do on Sommers Chute.  But it's too confusing.  When the cliff cam comes back online, I think it will all make more sense, but I am in awe of your resourcing.  But as we know, water levels and shifting sand and grasses makes for confusiion out there.
And then there's the fact the the river's main channel runs from WNW to ESE   :o

Thanks Ginger.  Watching at the time "live" I didn't know what was going to happen.  Eagles are apex, but the odds weren't too good! :)

Tundra swans are here in numbers on their way to wintering grounds near Chesapeake Bay and N. Carolina. One photo shows all-white adults and grayish/tannish juvenile. Sunrise gives them a golden highlight. Couple of Canada geese also. Other photo has truer colors.
