Sniff.........I was hoping the camera would have miraculously fixed itself overnight - ..sigh...we're going to miss alot this wknd.  - At least they could put a message on the page or something, saying they're working on it, or they can't work on it -  or anything!!

It's okay, dee.  We all felt the pain of losing TLC. 

These guys are fun to watch, and there's (noisy!!) sound.  Sometimes we find it really scary how big they are and how short the box is, and they look too darn close to falling over the ledge!  But so far they are safe and happy. 

I hope the cam is fixed soon, because they are about to fledge.

hope so.. sad for you  all who been watching regular since we lost TLC. I just keep checking in and out, not like with TLC. I was not working and here for like 20 hours a day , on puter that is,,,, watching both cams, Had too hard a time emotionally with losing TPC , to continue watching this cam regularly, felt guilty and all that silly stuff ( I know).

well then lets wait and see what TPC can help us out with tomorrow then. Hope to hear from her by tomorrow nite after she has visited Radisson nest box.  ( right?

Its 1630 hrs (local time) and the Elk River Cam is operating just fine now folks - no need for withdrawal symptoms this weekend! 

[ballywing]

Oh noooooo ! - Bad enough to lose the sound, we can't lose the picture too! - Anything goes wrong with the camera they probably can't fix it as it's right there in the nest?

Yahoo!  I finally am able to see the webcam (wouldn't work for me up until today)!!  But what luck, it is freezing up!!

[JL]

It's definitely not working.  I tried refreshing it and it's playing the same thing over and over for 20 seconds, then it freezes.

Falcon cam is freezing up after 30 seconds or so this morning and still no sound.  I've checked other forums and everyone is reporting the same thing so before you start taking apart your computers I thought I'd post this to save some frustration. 

[Enraptured]

yup, sunglasses would be helpful! One's up again. Too bad mum couldn't come in and 'shade' the chicks from the light like she used to on warmer days!

[ballywing]

One down for the count, one fidgeting in the corner, one staring into the light.  I think they need some sunglasses. 

[Liz]

Yes, thankfully they are! 

[Enraptured]

Oh good, finally all three down for the count! PHew!

[Liz]

Not a clue.  It must be a security light for their parking lot, or something like that.  I really feel sorry for them -- if you read back, we've been commenting on it for a long time, that it seems to keep the mum awake all night.  Nothing like bedtime for P&T! 

[ballywing]

I don't know what that blazing light is - but it just seems way too much! Must be blinding!!! - How come that's on them all night long anyway, anybody know what it's from?  

[Liz]

Yes, there is some staring going on with the kids.  Compared to P&T, I really feel sorry for this group, with the light glaring on them non-stop!
