[Big difference in quality for sure.]

Camera 2 is a lot sharper than it was last year. See the picture attached to Donna's post from March 2010. (her 2000th post, btw)

Archer's back

NOTE: Can one of the mods please put all the woodmen posts in 1 category please! Thanks

I merged all Woodman topics into one.

Thank you.

OK, what the heck is this?? EW! Crab?

(movie) Archer seems to be looking at cam 2 also.

(movie) He was mostly looking at the door.

Ah, ok!  Looks are deceiving!

Re Archer "servicing" two ladies, in keeping with his name, he has more than one arrow in his quiver!

He may be just too tired to migrate in the Fall! Or....can't wait to get out!

Main Camera video is not as sharp as the other cameras because it's from the camera's viewfinder.

However, to say it's not as "clear" as last year is a mistake because we didn't have video from Main camera last year.

The 2nd stream displays 4 cameras simultaneously. Each camera has only a quarter of the window so it naturally doesn't contain as much detail as it would if it occupied the whole thing.

The only way to get sharper images from the 4 cameras is have 1 camera per stream. We have 5 cameras and 2 streams. Increasing the number of streams is impractical. We already broadcast more streams than most wildlife webcams. Decreasing the number of cameras could result in missing an important viewing angle. Sequentially switching cameras periodically is not an option because it was disliked by so many viewers last year. ("The cameras are switching too quickly." "The cameras are switching too slowly.")

Don't forget you can click to make the screens bigger on Live stream. Nice feature.

Hera and her 3, as of this morning.   

Is Zeus still the tiercel?

Yes Ei Zeus is still there.

News just in: our female osprey, known as 'Lady', at Loch of the Lowes has just laid its first egg of the season. This is the 59th egg she has laid in 21 years. She's thought to be 26 years old. We could see chicks in around five weeks from now!


This is great! Good luck Lady!

Beauty comes back

I am surprised that Quest and her mate are at a building this low

Both the Evanston Library birds and the Uptown birds are very low.
The Evanston birds come back to their third-floor ledge every year.

Apparently size doesn't matter with falcons. It's where it is. They would know!

I'm wondering where Beauty managed to hide that she didn't get wet...well, aside from the roof drip on her wing 

Don't you know..girls carry umbrellas! 

Wow 5 and maybe a 6th! Oh help her!

Rocker Archer!

Jason, the bear cub dies! How very very very sad.
