Lisa, great pics.  I've been wondering if the Hatchery pair would keep tabs on N1 and it looks like they are, at least sorta-kinda.
I saw the same as you on the rewind just now.  But that branch is not "The Y," which is on the other (left) side of  N1.  This Y-shaped branch is flatter and it overlooks the pasture and bridge side of N1.  Hope that the mating in the treetops means there will be eggs and eaglets soon!!

STL - This is the Y branch that HM is on.  We are seeing it from the new cam that was installed on the N side of the tree.  We are use to seeing it with the old cam from the other side.  There is no Y branch on the other side of N1. Are you thinking of the T1 branch that sort of looked like a Y?  That branch hung over the horse pasture and was close to the bridge.

Seeing a Bald Eagle in N1 and on the Y always makes Pip's and My hearts just soar with big smiles.

Lisa, I'm sure you are correct because you have been at Decorah!  There's also a new branch map from OCT 2023 titled "DE N1 BRANCH ID" that has labels but no N S E W legend with the arrows one expects to see on a map.  I am totally confused.

Three pics from summer 2023, showing the Y to left of N1 and the other perching branch to the right of N1.  How do these views compare to what we have now?

Cam ops, How about a panning video with narration or labels to show us the new layout at N1?

[LisaG1967]

STL - Your 1st pic is the Y branch that we are use to seeing, and I know I have seen it from time to time this season. But, there is another cam on the other side of the tree towards that gives is the look we saw yesterday. 

Your 2nd pic is still looking from the same angle that we are use to seeing.  The Y branch is on the left, and the other branch is what the DE branch ID calls the whittle branch. 

Your 3rd pic, is DH2 sitting on the South side perch.  That branch goes in the direction of the hatchery from the DE branch ID.

Bald eagle visibility expected to go up as Iowa thaws out

Around 10:25pm last night a healthy looking racoon shows up on N1, checks out the Y, the cam branch and looked like it was eating some nestovers.

Lisa, love the night pics of the 'coon.  Maybe it found some fish jerky left over from the summer offering.

Thanks for your good explanation of new camera locations that give us different views of N1.  It will take more study for me to properly visualize as the season progresses. At least, now the new branch ID map makes more sense.  This morning's pic of the Y was comforting to me to know that that camera is still in operation.

Good to see HM or HD having breakfast on the Spooky Branch at the pasture edge near N1.

And a goose spent some quality time on N2B early this morning.

Thanks, STL, and great pics, too. 

The lil raccoon was so cute.

Decorah morning sunrise of many colors!

[LisaG1967]

HD was spotted on N2B this morning, and made his way up to the skywalk, while HM was eating on a nearby tree close to N2B.  Later, HM landed in N2B, gathered some sticks and nesting and flew out.

[STLbf]

Lisa, yes, colors at sunrise are amazing.

HM and HD visiting N2B, the Skywalk, and eating fish on nearby branches -- great pics and even better to see them close by their old haunts.

The colors this morning....gorgeous!

About 3:00 this afternoon, HM and HD perched somewhere in the N2B vicinity, perhaps above the nest.  Cam Ops did some helpful panning, especially on the flying away, which was definitely from the N2B area.  Another watcher may have better location details.

[LisaG1967]

STL, you are correct about the location of that being N2B.
After HM & HD left from there they, soared around the bluffs.  This evening, a RT hawk pair copulated upstream, and HM was seen above N1.

There's a branch map from 2023 titled "DE N1 BRANCH ID" that has labels.
But no N S E W legend with the arrows one expects to see on a map.
I am totally confused.

MY aim is to help and not hinder any compass direction of viewing confusion from here on N1.

You're standing directly in the center of N1 looking out from that vantage point about 60 feet above Trout Creek.

The N1 nest is in the crotch of a Cottonwood Tree that is near it's south bank.

There are currently 3 high end RRP PTZ cameras looking in on and out from various fixed locations in the N1 nest tree.

It gets tricky to know exactly which direction your looking OUT FROM on one of these 3 N1 Cameras.

HEADING.

Am I looking in on N1 from a camera mounted in the N1 nest tree somewhere _ Yes that's easy.

Very easily I'm led to believe on the live feed video image:

The heading from the camera can be depicted on the live camera feed unobtrusively in a corner ?

The cameras name and or #. ??

Z time even ?

No Secondary Intercardinal Directional points were harmed in anyway during this post.
