5:58 am just reported both embedded cams are down on the tech thread. Good morning, Linux. It certainly is getting closer to Ma and Trooper's return. :woohoo:

12:21pm......IN on both cams..........

It is very wet today and will be for the next few days..........windy too. Not a good day to look at the poles as the cams are bouncing and we are looking through rain drops on the cam covers. :rain:

Embedded cams remain offline...........zoomer cams ok.

12:30pm......A quick check of the area...........no eagles to be seen.......no hawks either.......no birds at all.

I am now OFF both cams.

8:34 am - Good Morning Delta 2! Hi Linux! I am going to log into the cams now to take a look around. Cam cover has some rain drops on it so it may still be raining but we will give it a try.


8:39 am - sorry for the delay....my computer just woke up so I think I am asking it to do too much. Have the cams up but my computer doesn't want to work just yet, so it may be another minute.

8:53 am - just an observation on the W Embedded cam.....the highest resolution is now only 720p.....I will report this on the tech thread as it has been 1080p in the past.

Thanks for reporting it on the tech thread, Sue, so we can track what Ken is doing and how it's working. One of our theories is that the new YouTube software may not support lower resolutions or slower feeds; Delta is the only site with fiber optic, and it's been up the most since things changed, so Ken may be seeing if it will stay up at something below 1080p.

9:02 am - the wind is really blowing out there so it's hard to get a really clear shot of this bird but here is a cropped version from the W Cam

9:09 am - we have someone on the stick tree....brownish head, then black feathers below (could be dark because of the rain), and I thought I saw a white chest...or at least a little of it. Hard to get a good shot as the wind is whipping and we have no rollback so I can't stop the screen.
