Thanks for stopping by, Bev!

5 pm
I checked the dvr quickly and didn't see any visits, though I might have missed a quick in and out.

Good night, everyone.

It sounds as if it may cool off a bit tomorrow.

8:47 am
The cam was frozen for a while this morning, and is now streaming. I checked the dvr over the last 12 hours and did not see any visits.

2021 Cam Maintenance
Matching Drive

First - a big Thank You to all who have donated to our Matching Drive! We have received $2410 in donations so far - and as you remember, the first $1000 was going to be matched, bringing the total to $3410 - so we are a little over 1/3 of the way to our goal of $10,000 for the people and equipment needed for cleaning and maintenance for as many of our cams as possible.

A key component of our annual cam maintenance drive is our Nest Adoption Program - your donation of $250.00 allows you to adopt your favorite HWF nest and family for the entire nesting season. Your name will be listed on our HWF Live Cams page for the nest - or you may choose to adopt a nest in memory of a loved one, or to adopt a nest anonymously - just let us know what you'd like to do.

Romeo from our White Rock Nest is here to speak on behalf of all the eagles we are watching - please click the button to adopt your favorite nest or nests!

And if this isn't a good time for adopting a nest, you can also make a donation of any amount to the "Eagle Cams/General Repairs" fund or you can make a monthly donation by changing the highlighted box at the top of the page from "Donate Now" to "Donate Monthly." Many of the funds have a suggested amount - but that is just a suggestion. The amount you put in the Amount box is what you'll donate.

Clicking the button with Hope and Chase from Delta 2 just after they hatched will take you to our Donations page where you can make a donation to help us see next year's tiny eaglets this clearly.
Image

And I have exciting news - a generous supporter has offered to match the next $500 in donations - so if you donate $100, HWF will get $200!

You don't need to be in Canada to use CanadaHelps - and the rate of exchange right now is favorable to those of us in the United States - a donation of $250 Canadian dollars is currently about $200 US dollars, so if you give $250 through CanadaHelps (or PayPal), HWF gets $250 Canadian dollars, and the cost to you is based on the current rate of exchange.


Big thanks to our first wave of early adopters -

and to those who are diligently zooming and documenting the close of the current nesting season - and to everyone who watched and posted on all of our nest observation threads and the other 200+ forum topics.

The remaining eagles will be leaving soon - and will be back soon - and we'd love to have sparkling clean cams to greet them on as many of our nests as possible. Thank you.

7:15 pm
I noticed some gusts of wind at the nest, and logged on to see the bigger picture - and got this shot:
20210807_003.jpg

And then the cam froze and the screen went black - and now I can't log back in.

I'm currently sending the signal to YouTube, and it's late here so I'm going to head to bed but will check if I'm up during the night.


8 pm
Checked the BC Power website, and I think this outage is very close to where the nest is, so it's likely why the cam is down.

Hmm.... :chin: It says on the map that all times are Pacific Time - but the cam went offline at 7:15 pm Pacific time - which is 10:15 pm in Maine where I am - so I think the page is using the time from my computer. It won't be 10:15 pm in BC for a couple of hours, and I really doubt if they can tell two hours in advance that a tree is going to blow down. So please subtract 3 hours from the time shown to make it Pacific time.

Just refreshed the page, and it now says that they think power will be restored by 8:30 pm Pacific - guess I'll stay up 20 minutes to see if the cam is back.
