And if you can't read the twitter feed on the right ... it shows for some folks and not for others - and it works more consistently on mobile devices (apple for sure) than on desktops.
There is some question if Chrome might be the problem or firewalls or ??? Having said that, it has worked at times on my Chrome browser.  Haven't tried other browsers yet, so if others have, please let me know what you can see.  I've also got a couple of IT friends looking into it for me.  I can tell you that it works consistently on Safari.  I'll post what if/anything I find out about.

I have another option I'm working on that might work more consistently across browsers while the cam is live, but no guarantee, so far it hasn't wanted to embed on the webpage, but it is early days for that piece. :)

Cam was to go online yesterday then I found out the first of their eggs hatched 3 days earlier than I was expecting.  Then as I was checking on the time the chick actually hatched, I realized it hadn't been fed yet.  So I kept an eye on the chick and then coming up on the 6 hour mark, I was consulting with Lisa at Prairie Wildlife Rehab on possible next steps ... and suddenly off popped Hazel and in came food.  First time parents that they are and given some of the problems we've had with other parents, so I made the executive decision to hold off going live until I was able to watch Hazel and Pandemic a bit more.  They seem very good parents during incubation - the fact that their chick hatched out earlier than expected is a good indicator of that.  But when the chicks hatch its different and they have to learn fast or they can lose their chicks.  Four of Spencer's eight chicks died because she didn't understand she needed to feed from the start and that was with Hart who was a more than experienced male.  It may even be that Spencer lost up to 4 nests before she paired up with Hart. 

Here is the current timeline ...

June 21
  • 1436h - chick hatched
  • 1846h - chick begging for food
  • 1915h - meal 1
  • 2355h - meal 2

June 22
  • 0550h - meal 3
  • 0750h - meal 4
  • 1437h - meal 5

Hazel is doing all the feeding, Pandemic is hunting for her.  Pandemic has gotten to brood almost right from the start which is something Princess wouldn't have done - nor Ella in the first couple of days.  Different birds, different pairs, different rules.

As a note, Twitter is being a bit of a pain again - or at least it is on Google Chrome.  It seems to be fine on Safari and it has been fine on Google Chrome, but I'm still a bit suspicious.
Haven't got an alternate in mind, having said that, we do have plans to do some major upgrades to the site over the winter, so I've added it to the wishlist in case there is something.

AND YES, I will of course post here as well when the cam goes online.

I've driven by more often in recent weeks and almost every time I'll see at least one bird. A couple of times, two, with the smaller on the northwest corner and the larger (female?) on the east logo. Brings a smile every time.
