You can see the condensation at the top of the image in RCF's photo ... well it grows until the whole dome is obscured then we have to wait until it clears before we can see the birds.  We have got some dessicant inside the housing to hopefully help out but we will probably be playing switch-switch-back as necessary until the problem is resolved.


Still not going to complain  :D

It would seem the water is not restricted to the ground in Brandon.   >:(

BTW the bird in RCF's image is Brooklyn - he of the neon white breast and cheek patch ... Hurricane's cheek patch looks blurred or smudged ...

Viewing the Brandon nestbox right now for the first time and from school. Fabulous viewing! :D Saw the 4 eggs and Hurricane, I think, walking toward them before tucking them under. The red tint is not bothersome in the least.

I'm pretty excited now!  What a great thing to have the cam up in Brandon!   ;D
Do we have chicks yet?

 Welcome back BirdLover!   :)
 No, but we have Brooklyn sitting on the eggs at the moment, picking at stuff in the nest box.......you know the boredom factor.  ;D

The picture is coming in very nicely and even if it is "reddish" I can still see the birds and know what is taking place.  Thanks a bunch!! ;D

We are waiting anxiously here!  :D

The Brandon Cam is live!

We are using our back-up cam at the moment so we apologize for the more-than-usual red tint to the image.  Our main cam got some water in it over the last few days and though its working the image is too blurry for use.  Needless to say, we are working on it but it may mean watching the backup images for a few days.

Enjoy!

1645 hrs

Hurricane just left the eggs (all look fine) and Brooklyn is not on-duty.

Just as a note, Eye-Spy was in Brandon again today tweaking the camera for its debut this week.  No date yet, we are just running some final tests but as soon as I do, you all will too!


 We are waiting anxiously here!  :D
