The Decorah Goose Cam delivered a painful setback followed by a surprising turn of hope as Mama Goose lost two eggs at the N1 nest, then laid another. For viewers who have been following this pair through the early nesting season, it was the kind of emotional swing that makes live wildlife cams impossible to look away from.
Several Canada geese stopped by the N1 nest in Decorah, Iowa, on March 5, 2026, turning a routine nest check into a loud and lively sign that goose season is beginning to heat up.
