Noord Brabant - 2011 / multiple cams

That owl (Oehoe) is a fierce character, and she does not miss a thing.  A couple of frogs came by her ledge, and she certainly did not take kindly to that.  She stood up to her full height and pounced, and she is very impressive when she is being protective.

The Ooiervaar (storks) have been busily nest building and if you click on the link "Paarvorming", you will see a display of pair bonding and a brief intimate moment.

If you want a translation, just Google "Dutch English translation". The Google translation is very good because you can cut and paste a rather lengthy passage for translation. Some of the other sites I have used restricted the length of the passage making the process frustrating. This site translates other languages too but does not translate Peregrine squawks so you'll just have to continue to use your imagination for those!

Kinderchick:
Thank you for the very informative commentary on this website and these webcams, bcf. :) Very interesting to watch these storks at night, with the night vision webcam. Seems as if there's a thunder & lightning storm going on there right now. Sure is noisy and windy! How I wish I could read Dutch, so that I could read some of the research info. ;)

For those not familiar with this site, here is an update:

Steenuil (Stone owl): This webcam is up and running. There is an additional camera on the outside of the nest box this year. The pair appears to be the same as last year. Their gender is difficult to determine so the easiest way to tell who's there-the female has a leg ring and the male is unbanded. Both have been visiting the nest. All of the webcams have a list of videos on the right hand side that you can click to see the highlights. The first egg was at the beginning of April last year. The tiny chicks are truly ugly for a while and magically transform.

Oehoe (Eagle Owl): These are almost the largest owls in the world. Their call is haunting and resembles their Dutch name. This pair are believed to have 3 eggs. The female started brooding after the first egg which is said to be unusual. Only the female broods. There is not much to see except for the female who looks like a huge cat sitting on a cliff.

Oievaar (Stork): There is a night vision cam at this site. The adults stay in the nest quite a bit. They are adding to the nest and "fluffing it" These are a lot of fun to watch especially once mating begins. They have frequent er...conjugal visits including head posturing and bill clapping.

Boerenzaluw (Barn Swallow): Barn swallows are just beginning their migration from Africa. This web cam is not up quite yet.

Boomklever (Kingfisher): An nest cam has been added to this site. There have been some Kingfisher sightings and they are hoping for chicks this year.

Ijsvogel (Nuthatch): Two nuthatches are checking out the nest. It is hoped that they are able to raise young this year. There have been some recent changes to the surrounding area including removal of trees. This can affect the availability of food for the young.

Purperreiger (Purple Heron): This webcam is not yet up and running.

Slechtvalk (Peregrine Falcon): Pa and S2 are the presiding pair here. This cam is being websat by another member. This is a great nestbox, fun to watch.

For those of you who watched the Torenvalk (kestrels) and Kerkuil (barn owls) in previous years, these cams are no longer included on this site.
