Bird Cams Around the World

Lou posted photos on his twitter account of the banded juvie at ST.

67/AR Black over Green.

Quite a surprise that it's not Billy or one of ours. They'll probably notify the DEC tomorrow to get info on her. It also appears that the mating pair like it under a bridge that's close to Seneca Tower...have been seen by several watchers under and around it.

I was looking at the banding report from last year. "AR" was used in Harrisburg, PA. Wonder if she's from someplace in PA. Of course, I'm assuming that the bottom part of band lettering is significant to one state/region.

Wonder if anyone has a relationship with Kate St John, if they could check with her on the PA nests she follows.

Just got this information. The AR was used in places other than Harrisburg. Will try to find out something.

Cams are down again...



I didn't get to watch them yesterday as I was traveling. Miss them already....

Thanks, Jane!

Poor Shaky...so glad we have him and hopefully he can fix it tomorrow.

He's going to TS tomorrow to see if he can fix it...he's as frustrated as we are, I'm sure. Something always seems to happen here at critical times!

Our cam is back!!!!! Donna posted that she found out the juvie female is from Luzerne County, PA and is waiting for more info! Maybe a name soon?!

Woo Hoo!!!!

Was just thinking, doesn't PA refrain from naming the kids, or is that just Harrisburg (red girl/green girl, white boy, etc).

So maybe she won't have a name and you guys will get to name both!

At least it's nice to know where she is from. Hopefully there's some history on her parents.

Beauty is pretty active on the eggs right now. I've got my headphones in and I think I'm hearing the babies. I don't think there a pip yet, but sounded like what Columbus sounded like before pip. VERY faint and I've got the volume really turned up. The squealing from the brakes and sirens is hurting my eardrums.

She keeps looking down at them and putting her head close.

I also have to add she's got a feather stuck to the side of her beak, so that might be bothering her too.

I also know it's warm, but she's razorbacking and starting to wiggle a lot.

Now I'm sure I'm hearing them because she got up and I can hear them more than when she was on them.

Again, very faint. Chirping - not at the dog barking stage just yet...

Donna C. from Rfalconcam and Tracy Simpson from the CPF both contacted people in PA to get info on 67/AR and this is the email Tracy received back:

Hello Tracy,

Yes, 67/AR Black/Green is a female that was banded at the nest on a cliff in Luzerne County, PA, on May 20, 2013. There were 3 in the nest: 2 females and a “sex uncertain” bird that was probably male.

Many thanks for this information. I received a phone call this morning from “E Cook” (phone caller ID; I did not catch the name of the caller) about this same bird - I presume that was your friend, the finder?

Many thanks for the information; very good to hear that she’s out there and doing well in the world. We’ve seen juveniles nest successfully in PA, both females and males; maybe 67/AR will do the same. Please keep me in the loop about future developments.

Great news about 67/AR!

Buddy boy is on duty. He's sort of standing over the eggs, but not down on them. A few seconds ago, I thought I heard something, and he's looking down, so I, again, think I'm hearing them.

So excited. I think we are still a day or two away, but at least hearing something.


And let me just add, they are so gosh dang cute... Both B & DC with the eggs.
