Good Morning. All cams streaming, but problems with North cam sputtering, WA streaks misplaced pixels...
7:36am - windy

[Lynne]

1:43pm - all cams streaming, but not without problems

1:10pm
Via rewind on WA cam. Eagle does a fly by nest tree with crow following. Seconds later a 2nd eagle flew by.
Scap is blurry due to cams not running smoothly.
2:52pm I will try a reboot.

6:15pm - 6:32pm .
via CU cam.
MOM is back.

Yea! Mom is home! I am so excited to watch this nest from the start of the season. I found this nest after Quebec was several weeks old and witnessed the crow event and Quebec's accidental fledge and return 5 days later. I sure miss that spunky bird! Thank you for your documentation of this nest. I appreciate all you do.

Welcome Aigle Armour for the beginning of the 2020 2021 season.

We hope the ongoing issues we are having with live streaming will be resolved one of these days.
4:45pm did a check around area and did not find any eagles.

I've been out all day, came back to find WA and North embedded cams streaming, and restarted the CU stream on my computer, so all three cams are up now.

Happy to hear that Mom is back!

7.19a still not right

That's true.

It appears that at one or more points in the process, there is not enough internet speed or bandwidth or something - and that causes the signal to break up at times. We're trying to find a way to send some of the streams at a somewhat lower resolution (which is what we're doing with WR-CU now, which is why the time stamp is so big) - but so far we haven't been able to find a way to send the lower resolution streams through the Wowza server without YouTube giving us error messages and eventually dropping the stream. I'm sure it's possible - but there's a lot of manual configuration and coding required for the Wowza software, as opposed to some other products that have more user-friendly interfaces. (The low res stream for the CU cam isn't going through the Wowza software Ken is running - I'm sending it from my house using a free app. The app only allows you to send one stream at a time, so it isn't a long-term solution.)
