Watch the live feed for a few minutes in the rain this morning to get a view of the camera wiper! Is this the only RRP camera with such a feature?   :D

N2B has one wiper, I think GSB might have one too.  Will have to look into this more. ;)

This post is from FB October 2018

Decorah Eagles
The Decorah Eagle cameras are now broadcasting live 24/7 video again and although we've only seen a few mice come out to play, we're anxious to see Mom Decorah and DM back on cam. The N2B nest measures approximately 5ft high x 6ft wide. This year we added a 4K camera and new microphones at both N1 and N2B. We have 3 PTZ cameras and a fixed cam at N2B, as well as 2 PTZ cams and a fixed cam at N1. There is also a PTZ camera on the visitor center that is slated for replacement before spring. The 4K cam has a wiper blade for cleaning and seeing more clearly in the rain. We've used this kind of camera to catch incredible footage of peregrine falcons at Great Spirit Bluff and are hoping that it works well here too. The eagles have never seen wiper blades in motion, so we will be exercising caution using it until they are well into the nesting season. The crew left a nice gift of 12 fish at the N2B nest and most of them were snatched by a sub-adult bald eagle before Mom Decorah or DM found them. Video here: https://youtu.be/4oOKkpVGJlM

Ginger:I believer that both Decorah cams have wiper blades on the 4K cameras that were installed at the nests in 2018.

I was only referring to DNN since Lori had earlier mentioned the other nests.

I was wrong about the swans. Tundra, not trumpeter. Sorry. See fixed screen cap title.

Also American white pelicans returned. Love the upside down preening in the photo.

Here is a great site to help identify swan differences:

Between the great things we can't do and the small things we refuse to do is the danger that we will do nothing at all.
