I have seen a lot of comments this week on exactly what is below the nest and where the river runs.
I will not go into specific coordinates, but the picture below gives you an idea of the nest tree (just north of the building) and the fact that the Mississippi River is just slightly south of the tree and the building. The camera actually faces to the west-southwest. This time of the year with all of the leaves off the trees along the river bank, it is possible to spot a bit of the river in that upper left-hand corner of the screen depending on the mode you are using and exactly what level of zoom we have on the camera.
A close up with respect to camera angle.
Yellow circle is the tree with nest and camera.
Pink arrow, camera angle.
Blue arrow, white line top left of nest.
Light green arrow, direction to river, may be seen with no leaves on trees, not in this shot.
Red arrow. north.
