Good records Rose :) - minor update is there has always been a camera on the nest in Brandon but it was CCTV up to 2011.

There may have been a CCTV cam but only for a select few and not for public view. I also remember the banders being surprised that in 2009 there were four chicks not three.
This is from 2009

Maybe the camera that was there wasn't working then, so you couldn't see how many eggs there were???

You are right, it was just for a few - mostly just Dan and the Green Team student that was working with him that summer. I only ever got to see the images when I visited Brandon and mostly they didn't record anything (it was a VHS recorder) and from what I remember, the CCTV camera was not nearly as good as even the lowest resolution cameras now used for webcams! It was certainly better than trying to peer out of the little window where our camera is now, that was impossible for trying to figure out who was where and what they were doing. It was the best that would work at that location with the technology available at that time but its wonderful how much technology has improved since then.
Having said that, I'm having trouble confirming how many eggs we have in West Winnipeg because of the camera angle this year, so great technology or not, sometimes all you can hope is for the surprise to be a good one. And I remember Dan's email - we needed to make sure we had enough bands for whatever were the genders for the birds so there were a couple of rapid-fire emails to make sure we had enough of all sizes. :D

2009: she laid 4 eggs that all hatched and the chicks fledged perfectly and all migrated. (no camera)
2010:She laid 4 eggs and according to Dan (conservation) 2 eggs disappeared but remaining eggs hatched. (no camera)
2011:She laid 4 eggs that all hatched but due to torrential rain storms 2 chicks died.(camera)
2012:She laid 4 eggs that all appeared normal until hatch time three hatched and one didn't hatch, reason unknown.(camera)
2013:She laid 4 eggs, 3 that appear normal and one that was blighted and discarded.(Camera)
Now we wait until hatch time and like the Radisson nest hope for good weather. :)
