Oh TPC, Ella says you can catch up on your ZZZZ's in the winter.  :D


And before anyone asks if I was really concerned, the answer is yes. Been tracking this freaking bird every couple of hours on my phone and I could never catch her feeding the damn chick. And at one point earlier this morening I causer a tiny glimpse of the chick and I seriously thought it was a goner - no movement at all.  Shades of Ella's sister Spencer who sucked at first feedings.  Chicks need to get fed in first 6 hours after hatch (that's my experience) and I didn't catch her feeding the chick - babies this young are hard to feed (no strength or coordination) and Ella has never been quick at it before - guess that has changed. Going to have to scour the recordings later today to see when the feedings I missed!

Bloody bird - not getting the sleep I lost back, that's for sure!!!

Feed is back up and holding so far.
We have an interesting mystery here. In the past when the cam has gone down it's because there has been an internet connection blip. So far that isn't the problem so we (actually our Rogers tech is) working our way back back up through the system to see what might be giving us grief.

So how to tell if there is a problem?

1) the screen will actually say the video feed isn't available
2) if you move your cursor over the video image you should see "Live" beside a red dot at the bottom of the image. If you still see a video but no "Live", then you are watching a YouTube created video clip.

It is never smooth sailing launching the FalconCam, sometimes it's more behind the scenes, sometimes it is front and centre in public (like this year).  This is why we try to launch in more than a few days in advance of the start of hatching.

Thanks for being patient - and know we are working on it! (And keeping an eye on the feed. If you see or think there might be a problem, I'm going to set up a separate area where folks can post.

I get the same thing, so I sent TPC a message, hopefully she will see it soon!  ???


Would you be able to post the link to the live view?  Thanks.

The best link is the FalconCam page on the website - go to the Mai page of our website and click on the photo - you can bookmark the page then.

Why that page you ask?

When we lose the stream (as we have at the moment) we have to reboot and YouTube Live gives us a new link - so instead of constantly posting new links to YouTube, the link above will always be updated so bookmark it and you will be good.
I'm stuck!
The FalconCam page comes up as 404 Not Found error.
What and where is the Mai page?
Help, please!

I'm looking at the live cam and she seems stressed out, beak open and appears to be panting. Has moved more toward the opening of nest box since this morning. Could the Temps and smoke be an issue TPC
°
Smoke
Feels like
‎30°

Unlikely the smoke is a problem, it's pretty clear downtown surprisingly. 

It's that the sun is shining in the nestbox and they are a wee bit toasty - I'm surprised that he (pretty sure it's Pandemic) is tucked so tight on the eggs, usually by this point they stand up more and get their head in the shade and let the air circulate around them. It's warm enough I think for the eggs to be uncovered/partly uncovered but perhaps that's not something he's comfortable with.  It's only his second nest - Ella's got stuff to teach him.  I suspect Ella will trade off with him soon - they are pretty good at sharing incubation duties.

 :) Thanks TPC for this great news. The wait for hatching is like watching paint dry, as Dennis had said, but worth it. Do you know how many eggs were laid?

And yes, there will be a FalconCam this year. We are currently working with our partners at Rogers TV and in fact we may have it up and running a bit earlier than usual this year. Got to finish some testing but will let folks know a soon as I know we are ready to go!

Thank you to any of the Phanatics that reached out to Clay Young asking him to report on the Peregrines, your efforts were successful and we had a nice chat on the radio this morning. 😁

I haven't been on here until today. I'm so happy to see that we have four eggs in the nest box.  :D
I dreamed of peregrines last night so I took that as a sign I should come check out what's happening.
I'll have to see what this bluesky app is all about.

So most posts will be on blue sky. I do not do all those apps. So I hope to see postings here.

Don't worry Bev, everything gets posted here as well.

Initially we needed to use Twitter (before it became X) to have a way to post in real time with the webcam. We still need it now.  Then I found I could copy the post here including the photo very simply. Advantage was that I could make sure folks here didn't miss anything I posted there - especially as a lot of folks just watch the cam on YouTube so they can't see the updates.  So, same post on the three social media platforms for over 900 followers and here for over 200 members. Bonus is I can post additional information here on all our nestsites and out-of-towners.

So no worries, if you only follow the peregrines here, you will get all the news, more photos than I used to post here AND bonus materials as I have it! 😁

Although this is not to do with this nest.
First off congratulations

Squeak and Radissons grandson are back at Bell with 4 eggs. I started a new topic.
But also of interest to you all here , is that the first year female at Genesee,  Alberta is Squeaks daughter from last year( a 2024 hatch) . She looks like she may lay an egg or two.
Also Radissons son is on his 3rd year at Miscercordia , Edmonton. Very successful. But his son ( from his first year at Miscercordia, is the new male at Scotford Alberta . ( he is 3 this year) There are 2 eggs so far.
I managed to get all the bands clearly.

You may have noticed that I'm not posting from Twitter/X anymore - X doesn't want to embed my tweets anymore - I suspect that's because of changes on Twitter/X.  I'm going to continue to post on Twitter/X and Instagram but now I'm also posting on BlueSky.  BlueSky was created by the folks that created the original Twitter (before it was bought by Musk) and it shows and it works better overall and let's me embed posts here with no fuss at lol!

You may have noticed that the old "Twitter" posts are now Bluesky posts ... Twitter now X is getting temperamental both I how it works here and, well, in general.  So I'm also running a Bluesky account - hope to be able to use it on the FalconCam as well, but we'll have to see. I'm optimistic that it will as the guys who created Twitter are the ones who have created Bluesky.  If you want to find us there - just go to Bluesky and search for our handle - @mbperegrines - same as the one we use on Twitter.

Radisson - no sign of our returnee today, saw her a bit yesterday when it was sunny at the box. 95% sure it is Hazel (2022 Grand Forks) who forced Ella & Pip off their nest last year. Definitely a female, comfortable on site, band colour matches & she looks familiar.

Radisson - haven't been able to id our first returnee yet, but our second returnee was much more cooperative. Welcome home Pandemic (2020 Fargo), the male half of the invading pair at the Radisson last year. First thing he did when he arrived was check out the nestbox.

Radisson - whoever said, better late than never, was wrong this time. Was going to start the countdown timer on the website after I took my morning peek around the nest site and there s/he was. Better late ain't going to work - someone is home!

Edited: some of the banners have been edited as Hazel has well and truly been booted from the property. Have left posts where Hazel was resident and changed the ones when Ella was in charge.
