Good morning, everyone, and thanks for posting the weather, Bev!

We just got a message from Denise who lives in the area that she saw two large birds that might have been eagles heading towards the nest. I checked the dvr, and took a look around with the cam and didn't see any eagles - but we know eagles are returning - so maybe.... :)

I got home a few minutes ago and found that the embedded cam had gone to a black screen at 2:53 pm. I am not able to log into the cam directly, so it's likely an issue at the site. I'm not seeing any power outages being reported in the area. I have sent a message to our contact at Shaw Cable, but it is a weekend, so I'm not sure when someone will be able to get to the site to check.

I did check the dvr back 12 hours, and did not see any eagles.

Thanks, Bev - and these eagles were doing some quick visits earlier this summer, so having a couple of us checking the dvr is probably a good thing. It's fairly easy to notice a visit if they are there for a half hour - but if it's only a minute or two, it's easy to miss.

Good morning, everyone, and thanks for posting the weather, Bev!

When I came into our computer room a few minutes ago, Charlie told me someone had brought a stick to the nest at French Creek - I checked the dvr and found this at 8:18 am. (These click much bigger.)

And I now think that wasn't the first visit of the season - when I first found the spot, I thought the adult had brought in the large branch they were moving in the first s'cap above - but that was already there.

Here is Bev's screenshot from 2:43 pm yesterday, September 25, just before the embedded cam went to a black screen:

And here's the one she posted at 6:48 pm, shortly after I restarted the stream:

I think the big branch in the lower right arrived while the cam was offline. I'm so glad you posted those two pictures, Bev - that gives us a good idea of when the stick (or should I say small tree :w00t: ) arrived.
