MN / Elk River - 2008-22

Oh man, just checked the weather there and more bad weather moving through.  Hang on mom.  It isn't snow as it is warm but very heavy rain and more on the way. 
Just looked again and it sure looks like SNOW although according to the NWS it is 15C there.

Poor girl -- she looks cold, wet and miserable.  And yes those babes are going to come shortly.  Will spring ever come? 

[Elaine L]

It does look so miserable down there, my heart goes out to our peregrine parents.  As Carly says, it will likely be in this weather that the eggs will hatch; I will watch tomorrow.

[carly]

Aww..poor mum and of course they will hatch in this weather.  Well small mercies at least she is in a covered box..   Let us hope all the falcons in the are that are not and are out in theopen will be okay during this unwanted weather 

[LouLouBelle]

this angle will be excellent for the hatching. we were begging for this angle last year but they didn't use this cam. and yes, that is wet snow! poor things...

[carly]

Umm..is that snow?? No, tell me it's rain please    Judging by the look on moms face I'd say she's not a happy camper about it either!

[Liz]

I prefer the regular view for now too; but wouldn't this angle have been great last year when the Three Amigos were lined up on the ledge all night long?!   

[Pchemist]

I can't keep up - they keep changing the view!

[maggieblue]

Great closeups but all that jumping around was making me dizzy    The weather forecast is for thunderstorms, but on the weather radar it appears that they will go north and south of Elk River so all good. 

[Pchemist]

I see they zoomed back in, but also raised the camera a bit.  This could give an excellent view of a hatch if we manage to catch it.   

[carly]

Wow..mama..what a big beak you have 

[msdolittle]

seems a bit windy there today ...

[Pchemist]

that's better - backed it out a little.

maybe they will make it like other sites where we get a choice of camera?  that would rock!   

[Pchemist]

someone is definitely fiddling with things, that's for sure.

[Pchemist]

and it is a good angle to stop the whole sun/dark issue we sometimes have, which is nice.  seems very zoomed in which is nice for now but could be tricky later.  I just saw mom with a pebble in her beak!
