Bird Cams Around the World

Nice 3 minute bonding session. Beauty is looking pretty big to me. Maybe eggs will be earlier this year?

Another 3+ minute in box bonding session. DC is so funny this year as he's bobbing his head up and down while chupping and they seem to be closer in distance when bonding. So cute.

B is looking large to me. He's kept her filled. She seems to be moving slower in my opinion.

Think we might be close to an egg. DC just brought in food for B and she wouldn't leave the box. He came to the beam with the gift, left, then returned to corner, but she wouldn't leave!

And just for the record, that was a really fresh gift and there's a spot of blood on the beam. It's visible on main cam pictures. Just so we don't think B is bleeding if she does lay an egg!

So, I'm just waiting for the poop shot. She's been in there long enough, I'm sure she's going to have to clear the decks first.

Great Video SGB!!!!!!!!

Thank you!

She's coming to the front of the box now. Thought for sure we would be getting an egg, but I have to remember she's fooled us like this in the past!

Funny, I just tuned into Pitt, and Dorothy is in the box there, and I thought, "Like mother, Like Daughter"! Both girls even moved the same wing and preened at the same time after snoozing! They really look so much alike to me.

Sorry to say my old computer pretty much bit the dust, so I can't record audio without getting "room" noise with it. DC was in box and Beauty was up on cam 1 (pan cam) for quite some time. She finally came down for bonding in the box. DC has been so animated this year. I caught just a few seconds of it before he left, but you can see his head bobbing/shaking and almost beaking in this quick clip.

Great videos & captures! Thanks!

Well, I have to say, DC & B are becoming more like the other pairs we observe.

I believe Beauty was up on cam 4. DC arrived on the corner of the deck near main cam, and I think she thought a meal was arriving. I was looking at something else on my computer when this occurred, but I saw a flutter and both there at the corner. I don't think he brought anything in, just wants to bond. He proceeded to the box, is trying to get her to join, but she's on the corner of the deck, not responding. She looks like she had a good meal already from the cam 2 angle. I don't know, hard to tell, but maybe she does have something right in front of her. He's really trying to get her attention.



Reminds me of other females who will "ignore" when they don't get their way. This year, Beauty seems to be "in charge".

ETA: well, when I look at the close up pic of DC on the box lip, he's got fresh blood/feathers on his talon, so maybe he did deliver something to her, she's just not leaving the deck area? I just can't be certain from pictures.
