I wondered if we were in the eye of the storm. We are west of the storm track, which they say is not expected to bear the brunt of the storm. Right now it's fairly calm here, but I know that Teddy is supposed to be a slow mover, so there will likely be more wind and rain overnight. We had a brief po...

Hello, Bev and all! I hope that everyone in Teddy's path is staying safe. So far, I've seen far worse winds from nor'easters. But the day is still young. Fingers crossed that it's not too bad.

Is there to be any cleaning/maintenance work on the Harrison Mills cams?

I saw that also Sue and I have scaps ,I zoomed in . It was an Adult that I think was passing through..we saw one on the light post down the road from us also ... there are at least 20 nests in the area of the nest with in a one mile radius of one another :) Good to know (and how wonderful that ther...

Hello, Bev and all! I scrolled back and found this osprey arriving at 6:43 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 11, 2020. The osprey stayed perched on the branch (never came to the nest), did a poo shoot at 7:08 p.m., then flew off at 7:16 p.m.:

Down Memory Lane This is one of most Favourite family pictures taken July 19 at 9:05pm. Mom has the Gold Fish that Dad brought in :rh: :rh: :rh: :rh: :rh: Click for bigger screenshot_02.jpg Beautiful photo, Bev! Thanks so much. I check in every now and then, as I have time. We're seeing Lena here l...

5:23-5:25 p.m.: Bev, I got slightly different screenshots from yours.

Loki is in Alaska! 20200821_001.jpg She checked in from Mitkof Island, which is about 1094 kilometers or 680 miles northwest of Surrey There are more map pictures on her tracking thread - https://forum.hancockwildlife.org/viewtopic.php?f=95&t=494&p=371464#p371464 - and you can find her map on our w...

Good morning Bev, Carolyn & others: Pretty nice view at this Lagoon Air Field.. . I suspect this is why they have the cam zoomed out, so that we can see the ospreys flying to and from the nest. And that is the advantage of it. But I agree with Bev. I wish the cam were still zoomed in on the nest. I...

7:09 p.m.: I don't post very often. I work as a cashier in a grocery store, so ... you know. But I do check in with this cam every few days. I must say, I love how good all three chicks look, and what a beautiful job Oscar and Ethel have done in raising them!

Judy, thank you for your report on Loki! I'm glad s/he was rescued and seems to be doing well. I hope that continues and Loki gets a clean bill of health for a happy release!

5:54 a.m.: Eaglet slid down the tree limb a bit, eyeballed where s/he was going, then took off.

5:30 a.m.: Fledgling did a wing stretch and some wingersizing on the tree limb.
5:34 a.m.: Eaglet slid down the tree limb a bit, then flew down into the nest and did some trampoline-style wingersizing.
5:48 a.m.: Eaglet flew back up to the tree limb.

3:27-3:28 p.m.: Judy, I had nearly identical screenshots of the delivery of the young bird (and I agree that it looked like it was already dead).

2:04-2:16 p.m.: Eaglet came down into the nest, did some wingersizing and then returned to its perch.

12:42 p.m.: Eaglet flew up to branch.
12:46-12:48 p.m.: Eaglet moving up branch, cleaning its beak and looking around.

12:08 p.m. ctd.: Eaglet looks over at parent and calls out. Parent flies off.
12:39 p.m.: That was a good meal, whatever it was. Feeding lasted till now, then the eaglet scurried over to something else in the nest. Not sure if it's food, though.

12:08 p.m.: Food delivery. I'm not sure what the prey is. It has legs or wings, but the image is too grainy for me to tell for sure. The parent crossed the nest, and I was surprised the eaglet didn't mantle over the prey.

11:56 a.m.: Fledgling arrived at the nest.
11:56-11:58 a.m.:Looks like the eaglet may have found the fish or other prey (bird?) that was delivered earlier. S/he's eating something.

11:31 a.m.: Adult began calling out, but I didn't see anyone arrive.
11:48 a.m.: Adult calling out again.
11:51 a.m.: Adult flew off.

10:36-10:37 a.m.: Hi, Judy and all! Judy, I started watching right when you did. An adult landed in the nest with a fish. With no eaglets around to feed, the adult began eating the fish.
11:08 a.m.: Adult still at the empty nest.

Verreaux's eagle owl peering out during the July 1 WildEarth afternoon drive (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCGEt0U2Oiw):

Hi, Bev and all! Whew, I'm glad it was just the camera slipping. I was a bit worried when I saw that the cam had moved up a bit. I'm happy that all is well!

Question: Is there a way to create a general thread in the "Falcoln" forum? I see threads devoted to particular nests, but not a general thread for photos or screenshots. I have a screenshot of a pygmy falcon from a recent WildEarth safari drive that I'd like to share. Also, would it be possible to ...

12:30-12:33 p.m.: Feeding time again. I think C3 is getting more to eat in this round!

EDIT: 11:48 a.m.: Oscar taking the fish. (I was in between posting and watching the cam. I thought he was delivering another one, but then, after he flew off, I didn't see a fish on the nest and I wondered what had happened to the fish. I saw from Bev's post later on that he actually took the fish,...

11:42-11:43 a.m.: Feeding time! It looks like all three chicks are getting bites, though I believe the oldest is getting the most. C3 is in the back, and so is in a bad position to get past the other two in front.

4:46 p.m.: I rewound to earlier this afternoon and found a moment when one parent flew off, and another one flew in. All three little heads popped up for the incoming parent!

Wow, three chicks! Congratulations to Ethel and Oscar, and of course all who watch this nest!

11:35 a.m.: Hi, Bev and all! I don't post very often, but I do check in on the nest almost daily. I was amazed to see the number of swallows perched on the nest tree today!

10:36-11:58 a.m.: Hello, Bev and all! I'm not sure what this material is. It's a larger piece of material than that brown cloth that was brought in earlier. It's been dragged all over the nest. Right now it's sort of clumped up in the middle.
