just got an email fo rm George and cam in test mode it looks great. Hopefully he will give me test link

The 2015 version of the falcon cam is a go pro in a weatherproof box.
The camera has 2 settings wide angle and close as shown below. We will not be able to zoom in for ultra close ups.

We will run wide angle until nesting starts then switch to close.


I will post a few shots form it when I get home, as I have to convert them fo r here. looks great and clean

Peter and Jean and I spent over 3 hours out there yesterday in blowing cold winds. Thus we spent most of time in car.
when we got there, after checking in with security , we saw one feeding on low building , where kids usually eat. We watched it for awhile and then drove to a different vantage point.

When it had finished eating , it flew up and soared around and then flew to nest box area. Whether it went in or not, no t sure as we could not see box. But we did not see it fly from there.

So we checked all places we know they go.

Moved again closer to nest box area and no one in box, and then we saw one soaring, no , 2 soaring. Oh boy, now we have 3.

Some quick flying, We saw one go low and around building where vents are , and around again and then, darn, it went up into right vent.( number 1 in picture)( I hope not nesting there) Another, we lost track of and one just kept flying around quickly, around the building where vents are. WE lost track, but one eventually , was up high soaring and soared off east. We could not see others. It was windy and blowing hard and dusty so hard to follow.

now it was quiet for a bit and we started looking and checking. then one came in from east and flew under left vent( number 2 in picture) Was not in there long and came out and we could see it had a big prey in its talons. We are not sure if it had food in talons when it went into vent or if it got it from vent, or if it brought it to another falcon in vent and gave it to it and it was other that came out. so confusing.

anyhow it flew over low buildings, where we had seen one eating earlier and tried to land but it was very windy . After circling around it finally touched down. Huge prey.

It was ripping feathers and all was well. all of sudden we saw another falcon coming in and flying over to area. did it come out of vent or where did it come from??? no aggression. the one kept eating. This one kept flying around the low building and disappearing behind it and then up again and disappear again. So maybe landing on a building at back. WE could not see.

then in comes number 3 DArn. It was clearly zoning in on one not eating. And they were darting around the area where one was eating. the one stopped to look but was not really concerned. ( must be hungry LOL)

So one flew under right vent and the other eventually left area again. And one on building continued to eat. When it finished eating . it soared above building and then darted behind building and then up and then we did not see it anymore. WE drove to where we could get a better vantage point but saw no one.
We called it a day.,

it was a nice windy day for a drive. Got us out and about
we do prefer walking around but very cold out also. biting wind. but the falcons love this weather.
hope cam is up soon. if none in box , I know where they are

I am confused bu t happy to see falcons

so with everything else going on, I have been monitoring a test cam. Do not know if it is public yet. Will ask

We have had no birds at box, like last year. Then Monday one showed up briefly. I Id her immediately. It is same female as last year.

Tuesday cam went down at noon

WEd go t cam back at 10am and nothing.

today nothing and then just before 4 there he was , and then her . and they were there all evening. I had it on recorder. and at dark she was in nest in egg laying stance.

I told them that this might happen. they had been seen around vents but they were trying to discourage them

We were going to drive out there tomorrow if no sightings. We may still do that just to see if just 2 are there.

and we are sure Male is the same male. NO bands but same markings , everything. I spent over an hour comparing last years to this years. did the same last year.

I did an edited video, meaning just s took a bit of everything



be back with it.this is a short one



more to come
