Not sure where her falcon video was taken however, from what I've seen from the cam riggings on the polar bear cams, I haven't seen one like the one in her "visitor" video - makes me wonder if it is at another site - not the Churchill Northern Studies Centre either, so far as I know, since their expansion, they don't have a metal dome ... Allikat, have you seen this superstructure on any of the other cams you have visited? Or has anyone else?

I know nothing about Churchill, but I think the cam actually is located at the Churchill Northern Studies Centre. I am going to take a guess that it may be on top of a communications tower which is very close to the buildings.
I may be totally wrong, but the pic on the right below shows the top of the tower. There are two circular structures at the top, and the colours seem right also; orange and grey. What do you think?

Nope you and Allikat aren't wrong, the communications tower is newer, wasn't there the last time I visited or saw photos when I was peripherally involved in Arctic research. Very cool, thank you both so much for tracking down the location!!

Raptor aurora?

Yesterday afternoon I saw this beautiful gyrfalcon perched on the structure, relaxing after a big meal. He/she stayed for about 20 minutes.
