Elaine L:
Scout is a beauty - I hope the fact that she is on the ground is not a bad sign; the biologist where I do volunteer work said that when birds of prey go to ground, it is usually because they are sick, or something is wrong. I certainly hope that this is not the case with this beautiful peregrine!
carly:
Oh she's a beauty, taking a bath :-* :-* I'm surprised she's on the ground, the adults don't usually go that low! But then again they always seem to do what we don't expect them to..hehe.
Alison:
An update from Donna Daniel on the cam situation:
Nestbox camera update
As most are aware the nestboxcam has been down for a couple of weeks now. The problem is with the computer that transfers the video from the cameras to our website and is severe to the point that the computer needs to be completely replaced. Fortunately though, this has happened in the “off season” so a delay of view shouldn’t cause too much unrest among all our falconcam fans out there.
Replacing the computer presents a challenge. Anyone familiar with state government and/or the present state of the economy can surely understand that we are dealing with very strict budgetary and purchasing limitations. Prior to this recent problem we had been tossing around the idea of changing systems to utilize a camera that transmits directly to the internet. If it is found to be a plausible option, this system could potentially result in fewer outages because of network problems. We ask everyone to be patient while we explore the options. Expect the nestboxcam to not be available in the near future but we of course would hope to have it back in time for next nesting season.

And a great pic of Scout with the update:
birdcamfan:
Great pictures! thank you for sharing...every time I go to the Ohio site, all I see are pictures of poop! I always seem to miss the birds.
Alison:
Carly, I wish your cam was still functional too - I miss seeing the falcons there! Any chance of the cam being fixed?
I'm not sure who is on the ledge at Columbus in the first two pics, but the one with the close-up feathers is Orville. In the last pic, he shows off his band numbers.
