for a few minutes now 15:37

Two falcons at the box, Sat Mar 5 about 17:30-17:35.

I was thinking I'd try out the camera control this weekend, but right now (12:47 Friday) the camera 1 image is just showing uniform gray.  It's been that way for about 20 minutes now.  I hope the camera is still healthy.  Is this what the rest of us see when someone else is in control?

How far in advance can I book a time? (when is fledging due to begin? I'll take that week...   until the bill arrives )

Step 3, I see a "search" button that doesn't appear to do anything.  Maybe it should do the same as "book"?  I haven't gone any further, yet.

Should be a popular (and profitable) feature.  Well done! 

Beauty watches a plane come in for a landing Thursday morning. (movie)

At least she didn't fall over. Maybe it's only penguins that happens to. (Supposedly) 

It's time to replace it. Unfortunately, cameras like that aren't cheap.

Well, get a ball park figure together...   Xmas is coming, ya never know.

Walking on Cornell Campus, (Ithaca, NY) it's not unusual to spot raptors occasionally, maybe a few times per month, usually hawks I think.  Last year I was seeing at least one and occasionally a pair every week or two.  Big hint: listen and watch for disturbed crows!  And check the roof-lines.

This year I haven't been seeing them as often, probably partially due to a couple big roof replacement projects disturbing some favorite spots.  I still hear them sometimes if my office window is open.  I overlook a small plaza between Duffield and Upson halls, which seems to be at least an occasional hunting spot.

This morning I was hearing the whistles, then heard crows.  Looked out my window and saw a hawk perching on a light pole below.  I watched for a few minutes.  It flew to another pole, then perched on a railing, checking around the base of a big oak and the plaza in general.  (Any squirrels?).  It then flew up to a low branch of the oak.  I was surprised to see a couple squirrels aggressively attack and chase it away (or at least to a much higher branch).  Lost track of it soon after.

It's surprising sometimes how much wildlife (non-human!) is on campus, especially if you're around at odd hours.  And how tame it gets.

Good catch, Colleen.   I visited the site just in time to see the last picture in
the sequence "live".  Nice little home movie.
