Well shoot. It looks like we had a heron visiting earlier. I could only get a screen grab from the inactive stream as it was too late to rollback.

Good catch! It is fun when the thumbnail (or whatever it's called) has something interesting - though even more fun when we can roll back and get more of the action.

I'm afraid the cams will be offline for a few days. The internet provider at the site is changing, and it will take time before we have all the information we need to connect to the cams again.

I forgot to post yesterday to report that the cams are back. We don't have a static IP address for the site yet, so if the cams go down, it may take longer to get them back up, but that should be resolved in a few days.

While I was checking the cams this morning, I found we'd had a visitor - not the eagle we'd like to see, but the crow is very handsome.

We have visitors!

We have lots of osprey where I live in Maine, but I haven't heard much about the ones on the west coast.


This looks like a pair - need to do some research about when they nest in BC. Incubation is shorter than eagles, as is time before flying, so maybe?

Good morning, Judy! I fumbled my phone and hit reply too quickly. I too am doing some research on Osprey breeding (April through Sept) but this structure is a not ideal nesting platform for Osprey. How exciting!

[JudyB]

I don't think they like the crows stopping by!

Glad you're here, CC - I was thinking that our Maine osprey normally nest on open platforms, so they'd be more likely to build a nest on top of the perches than use the one provided down below - but one never knows.

I meant to say "but not" the ideal platform. I'm typing too quickly out of excitement! Nice to see them here.
