FalconCam came online this afternoon but had some trouble with a couple of browsers so didn't want to post until we'd done some additional tests ... some folks just couldn't wait for the official launch it seems  :) :-* which I totally understand, I wouldn't want to wait either  ;D

Please use/bookmark this link - as it helps us track usage which will hopefully help us get new cams online next year!!

And ignore the little red square - it is an ongoing puzzle why it appears and why we can't remove it!  We had it last year and the year before ... one day ....  ::) ;D

Great news! Thanks for posting the link RCF! Not liking the MUSAK. Need to hear the falcons. TPC???

You can always turn the volume down, a lot of cams don't have sound.  ;)  I bet it's way to windy up there to hear anything but the whistling and howling wind.  :-\  ???

Any updates, absolutely, been a weird quiet/busy year. Sounds like it can't be both, but it has been.  What with Porter's death, birds nesting, birds not nesting, birds dating everyone and no-one, birds turning up, then seemingly disappearing and then the usual technical glitches.  Cameras have to be replaced from time to time and as technology improves, we have to improve our tech to keep up.  This year we have camera upgrades and tech upgrades colliding which would be fine, except that we only have one confirmed nest in Winnipeg ... right where the hardware upgrades were needed.  Pandemic rules haven't made it any easier of course.  But we are still working on getting us all a live feed streaming from the Radisson nestbox.  Ella & Pip (more Pip I think than Ella) have very graciously moved the eggs back a bit from the camera, so when we do go live, you will have a better angle on them than you would have had two weeks ago.  Bit of a silver lining.

As to when we expect them to hatch, Ella's counts have been mostly consistent over the last couple years - starting at 34 days after incubation began.  Cold spring could mean that they could take a bit longer as it didn't seem (to me at least) that hard incubation really began until egg 4.  So, best guess, mid to late next week.

As for this year's webcam, we are working on it.  The balcony cam at the Radisson had some weird interference we had to sort out, now we have to swap around some feeds so we can get the view from the cam inside the nestbox working - last year the feed was on Logan remember, so we have some reworking to do.
