B&DC were both on the Wilder green strip this afternoon. Hopefully we will see them return to the Times Square building. At least we can now keep an eye on the Powers Bldg nest box. Wish we had been able to get both cameras working.

That old camera is still good enough to ID the falcon as Dot.Ca.

BTW, that camera is the original Aafkecam, something you old-timers may remember.

So, for somebody who's only watched the last 9 yrs, how did the cam come to be named after Aafke?

The Aafkecam was Kodak Birdcam's one and only Infrared (IR) "night vision" camera. It was installed in nest box in the early 2000's to allow us to see the falcons better at night.

At the time, there were very few active members of the Birdcam discussion board who watched the cameras at night. Aafke in the Netherlands was one of them. Being 6 time zones ahead of Rochester meant she was already awake and posting pictures at 2 AM Rochester time. The pictures mostly came from the IR camera that became known as the Aafkecam.

After 10+ years, the IR emitters on the camera are all but dead now. That is why the camera no longer sees well at night. This explains why the nighttime pictures from it are so dark as compared to the pictures from the cameras at the Times Square building, which are fully functional IR cameras.
