Finally E#2 starts showing some interest and gets a few bites before E#1 gets up and comes over.

Yet another feeding... Trooper is eating some as well. It is E#1 that is closest to Trooper to receive food.

There is something strange going on with the East embedded Cam. It is getting darker and darker without switching to night vision, BUT the oddest part is it will now allow the magnification to be changed from 1.5X. no matter which direction I face the camera in. Because of this there was no point trying to see if Trooper went into the stick tree because the cam would not zoom in any further.
Frustrating.

The West cam has now switched to night vision but the East one is not going to at all by the look of it.

Logging off the cams now, will make a tech report.

9:17pm....Thanks for finishing up here tonight Rose! That E cam is black but it looks as if maybe the night vision hasn't kicked in. Cam is likely still streaming.

One of the chicks stirred and Ma lifted up her head..............all is well and she has gone back to sleep now.

Yes, a weirdly frustrating evening end on the cam especially because lately they've been acting good for the most part I think, oh well. :dunno:
