We lost cam 2 a few days ago but couldn't repair/replace it because of the foul weather. Can't access the IP address right now, so can't tell you want is happening there specifically. Having said that, was by their nestsite about 10 minutes before the rain began and there was a shift change, Beau out, Jules in. She might have known what was coming and decided to cut short her "break". She's a very quiet bird unless she's defending her nest and she came in yelling at him and when he didn't get out fast enough, she aborted her landing, yelled again then dropped right into the box. Going to love seeing that on the recorder so long as our current cam problem is just my access as opposed to my access AND the connection between the camera and the recorder.
I did watch her on video during yesterday's morning rainfall and this morning's and she was velcroed to the eggs not moving a muscle for hours. She'll be wet but I think that will be the extent of it. And she's not entirely in the open, not as far under cover as Princess and Ivy have been the last couple of days, but still not entirely in the open either.
And for those wondering, no I will not be going up to check on her or her eggs until after the weather passes. The last thing she needs is to feel the need to defend her nest in this weather. Too dangerous with the winds for her and probably not something the eggs need either at this stage of incubation. So we will wait until the weather improves to check and repair/replace the camera. We will keep trying to access the camera remotely. They will probably be fine, they have made it this far, they will probably be okay until this weather passes.
