We have been viewing on borrowed time I'm afraid and now we are having to replace the viewing equipment and software. Takes a surprisingly large amount of time to get it set up and working properly (glad Eye-Spy is responsible for that part!). We had to start with Radisson and then we moved onto Logan. Radisson has had some hiccups and there is some safety work being done at Logan so we are trying to keep an eye on Faith and Hart without disturbing them. Doesn't help that Faith is/was all jazzed up about losing the West Wpg nest to Ella!! Anywho, yes, we hope to have the cameras up and operating again soon but no idea when specifically. In the meantime it is old school monitoring for us (me, Dennis & Wowser)! ;D

New females at sites are always a bit twitchy - some latch right onto a box - like Faith when she first arrived, and Beatrix before her and now it seems Ella. This site was originally settled if you like by Cowboy and Joli's sister Katherine (Kate) but they sidn't nested successfully - maybe not at all since we didn't find eggs or remains of eggs. Then Joli took over for Kate and Cowboy went back to where he and Kate had been snooping around the year before and presto, we found eggs on concrete. Eggs most certainly wouldn't have survived there - they would have rolled and cracked and that would have been the end of it - and perhaps that is what happened to Kate the year before. In any case, we were able to slip a temporary box underneath the eggs and Joli popped into the box as we were leaving and that was that, she had "her spot". Faith knows the nestsite but she didn't choose the location, this is Hart's home, the same way it was Cowboy's when Joli replaced Kate. Now we will just have to see what transpires - hopefully all will go well for Hart and Faith.
And the fight with Ella won't have helped things ... the year Beau and Ty fought at West Winnipeg, Beatrix laid 4 eggs but only 2 chicks - for a bird her age, bloodline and past record, only two chicks from 4 eggs was mostly likely a result of stress of territorial conflict even though the actual fight was between Ty and Beau. This will be Ella's first year and Faith's third, so it will be interesting to see what may be the result.

And yes, old-school or not, we have confirmed Hart and Faith by their bands.
