U of Alberta - 2008 / Damon & Radisson

[Pchemist]

You know what it looks like to me (now I'm home and can look at it) - it looks like a thumbprint on the lens!

Actually you may be on to something.  Right now it looks like the box is empty save for little chick sleeping but on cam 3 I can see mom clearly sitting in the box..and when I check times it looks like cam 2 is refreshing and the time is current but time on cam 3 is an hour behind    So something funky is going on for sure.

[Pchemist]

Dang, I thought I was being clever.  I can't access that one for some reason when I'm through my work firewall.  The streaming ones are fine, but that one just sits on an old image.  It's fine when I'm home.  Weird.

[carly]

Thought of that but the 2 outside cameras are clear and I can even see sun    unless that camera got wet earlier or full of gunk from the wind maybe.

[Pchemist]

maybe it's the rain?

[carly]

Is it me or is the camera suddenly murky>  I can barely see into the box?  And no it doesn't like an ..err..accident happened, it's almost like looking through a fog filter but the other 2 cameras are clear.

Lol..I saw that and I thought ok she's calling for dad to get his butt there with some food and then I had to run into a meeting so I never saw whether or not he showed up..hehe.

Complaining about the housekeeping, or food delivery service?

[bev.]

Yes, I could not get on either

It is pouring rain here so shots will be few today.

I thought this was hoot. Someone not  happy oops I forgot to do thumbnail

Yay..finally got on to the server, site was down for me for over 2 hours!!  Love your photos and agree with Eagle on the most favorite one!

Mom cuddled up napping on and off with baby it seems, very cute

That one you titled "Hi Mom, did you bring supper" that is just way to cute!!!!

It is sure slow tonight . it took me several times to get in and this is taking awhile. You must understand that I take about 40 pictures a day and then try and figure as few as possible to share with you. I try and pick what  I think you would like to see.


who is on my roof

time to go

coming back(dad)

Hi mom, did you bring supper

Wow, that is too big

rain and hail

[bev.]

I have more pictures. I have so many but I will pick out the best.

dad is here . He has done his share of sitting today as well. I notice that radisson is not cleaning up like she used to

She has so many different positions. I love watching her. we also just had a terrific storm roll in. Thank God she is in the net box . Hail rain and wind. I will post and the white dots are the hail.

I am going away from Friday the 11 to Sunday the 20. While i am away SkyGirl Blue has graciously agreed to post pictures for you  as I know that is all some of you see.

I must tell you that when I saw the adult on the top of the box I nearly has a heart attack. You just never know. that is how the saga first started.
I am so happy that Manitoba has so many off spring nesting. 
This male was born in Edmonton so that is successful but we do not know if any of his grandchildren are nesting.







see babe in back.

so cute and look at the crop

will someone please clean up this mess. what has happened mom??

Pffft..I had left the board for a few and took me 5 tries to get back on and saw your post and flipped to cam 3 and both mom and dad gone now! I'm having problems moving around the site tonight, very slow.  Mind you I have 3 webcams open at the moment - we just had some violent storms move through the city (Toronto) and I'm keeping an eye on the little ones to make sure they are ok.  Plus I've got Radisson up as well but I was so busy focussing on the storm and making sure everyone was okay that I missed mom leaving too!  I swear, once these guys tug at your heart strings, you just can't stop worrying about them

Right now on cam 3 both mom inside and dad on the roof are visible.
