As Rose posted, Hurricane and Brooklyn have had some renos made to their nestobx. New, longer, sturdier, perching pole (ie rake handle courtesy of Dennis) a kid-proof railing as well as 2 cameras and a microphone (courtesy of Eye-Spy).
We have the same window-cam as last year which is operating wonderfully as we speak. New in-box camera with an even better angle so we can see the box edges and the pole so parental arrivals and departures are visible. The microphone works great but we haven't tried it with the CBC set-up yet to know whether two microphones will work (one at Radisson, one here) but CBC is confident there won't be problems, so we are going to be optimistic as well.
Brooklyn was non-plussed by our visit, he pretty much just parked his butt on the communications tower and watched us the whole time. Hurricane wanted a closer look and tried to give us instructions, but even her interest was dampened by the rain and fog. And yes, it did rain all day and evening yesterday, fortunately we were inside for most of it and the rain deities took pity on us when we actually had to be on the roof and it was more mist/drizzle than the downpours that occurred frequently.
And no, there are no eggs here yet - if there were, I would have started with that little piece of news. But we suspect we should have them this week - these two are frequently last of the three resident pairs to arrive but generally second pair to lay so it shouldn't take long based on experience.
So we got wet but Hurricane and Brooklyn got some upgrades on their condo and everyone gets to enjoy two great camera views. All in all, a great day.
