Bird Cams Around the World

And she does a little pebble picky and she's off... 9:38

Didn't Niecey do this to Lil Dad?

9:39, DC is back. I can totally hear him, can't see him. I must be blind this morning. Maybe he's on the other side of main cam

Now he's back to the box.

I feel sorry for him this season.....

Why do you feel sorry for him this season? Just wondering...

For the same reason I felt sorry for B last year when she would call and call for him to come down. And she would sit at the box preening, looking pretty for hours.

Now Beauty is doing it to him. But he's lost Pigott, spending more time downtown and Beauty seems to be avoiding the box. We've been joking that he's spending more time in there than her. He brings her in for bonding, and she stays for just a minute or two and she's off..

Maybe this is all normal. I guess I need to start watching more cams with volume to see if this wailing back and forth goes on all the time.

Thank you SGB. I don't remember too much from Durand, but I should have thought about Dorothy and E2. I think that's where Beauty gets her voice.

Me today:

Maybe something has happened that's made Beauty leary of the box...not wanting to be trapped. All this attention is something that Beauty has never been used to, having had 2-timing mates for most of her adult life, she's the one who's usually waiting at the box for her mate to finish with the other one. It does appear that something has happened to Pigott and we might never know what transpired. Beauty doesn't appear to have been in any battle. Did the juvie challenge her? I know that she was DC's main mate so, yes, I do feel sorry for him for his loss. I just hope whatever is going on that it doesn't affect her egg-laying.

12:11 - Beauty on deck

And now she starts alarm kaaking

Everytime I go to feed the dogs, they show up...

12:13 - Anyway, she's now on beam in front of box, chupping/peeping.

I think I can hear DC above her.

Well, she made it into the box. And something caught her attention and she's back to the lip. 12:21

Yeah, we thought Unity blind-sided her while she was perched on Mercury. B always sat there and after she came back from rehab, it was months before she perched there again. The juvie was pretty aggressive with DC that one day so we can't say for sure that wasn't a factor. No answers, I guess, except she left at a very strange time and was very bonded with DC to leave on her own accord.

12:47 - she just flew off.

12:49 - DC at NB corner near well wall.

They've got a 3 way fight over river/broad street/War Memorial as reported by Mark B who has office just below NB.

Reported at 12:50

He reported that they chased off the small intruder rather quickly. I had DC on cam until 12:50

Mark posted that they seemed to chase the smaller intruder off rather quickly.

I didn't see the new post.. He posted first update on Ustream Chat. 2nd update was on forum..

My Twitter feed had not updated yet, or I definitely would have updated.



SORRY.

By the time I got back to update my original post, you posted...

I don't recall that it was ever determined what gender the juvie was except the day it dive-bombed DC, MAK said the birds seemed to be same size.

They are already affecting my sleep. I wake up at about 3AM each morning and check the Twitter feed/BCAW on my iphone, under the covers so it doesn't wake up my husband. Then I wake up around 4 something - same scenario. Then finally around 5 something when hubby gets up for work.

Wonder why I want to fall asleep right now. The "white noise" from NB mic with wind hitting it lulls me to sleep.

1:14 - Bonding..

DC showed up first, chirping/calling B. B arrived and worked her way into box.

1:15 - DC flew off.

B remains in box.
