stages of being amazed at the stupid things a younger sibling can say

These facial expressions are beyond words.  I just sit here and laugh and think how much they'll be missed when they fledge.

I went with the 18th but hope it's sooner than that!

Good one!   

Love it!       Thanks Shaky and Kenn for doing all that you do for us!   

Neat toys are great...don't get me wrong...but the thing that still makes THIS falconcam the absolute best is...



...saving memories like this one 

That's for sure, Ei!   

I caught a glimpse of the remaining 3 Kestrel babies today and they looked OK so far. The weather here will be warming up in the next few days so that'll be better for them.

Entry today-Google translation:

Action station: Today we a young eagle owl with a GPS transmitter. The channel is carried out in collaboration with OWN, Forestry, SOVON, and Birds. It is made possible by financial support from Prince Bernhard Cultural Fund, the Province of Limburg, BirdLife and donations for the project in spring 2009 Experience. The action is expected between 10.30 - 13.30 hours place. Possibly the camera during the capture operations are temporarily disabled, there is nothing wrong with your computer. If the young owl back then still on the screen, you will see the antenna and possibly a portion of the transmitter to see. If the eagle owl is fully grown, the sender will no longer be seen and only the ante net. Every 10 days we will publish www.oehoe.web-log.nl what the young eagle owl has been up. Until September / October will provide data on how the young owl discovers the surrounding terrain. But then of course really valuable. Where will the eagle owl over and above ...... in what kind of areas, he / she breaks a few days or longer. We want to map such areas because it is clearly important for the species. Every evening at 23:00 hours, the owl using GPS technology located, hopefully about a year.

6 views?  I get main camera (larger) on top, then main again below plus camera 1 & 2 and 1/2 of 3

This is all I get too on my laptop and hubby's computer.  Works good on my Ipod though.   ???

Again, refresh the page or quit your browser and relaunch.

If you use a large font view, the camera views could be off to the right.  Try scrolling right and see if they are there.  If so, try hitting <Control><-> on your keyboard to make the font smaller, which will also affect the width of your view. To make your font bigger again, hit <Control><+>.

Scrolling to right and refreshing didn't work but quitting AOL and restarting did the trick on both computers!  

This weather is killing a lot of wildlife...so awful. 

 

It sure is, Donna.  Our baby Robins in a nest under our pool deck are OK so far.  I checked on them last night much to Momma's chagrin.

Just read this on the Iroquois NWR site:




Eggs hatch May 6,7,8.
Two kestrel chicks perished due to cold and/or starvation on May 9.

more sad news..

I've been looking for them because we get a few this time of year that are passing through.  They don't stay long though.

Just read this on Twitter-very sad as we've gone over there several times this year to watch the parents at the nestsite.  

High winds take down bald eagle nest at Iroquois Refuge, NY, sole eaglet perishes. Eaglet retrieved but did not survive.

I heard there was some major snow in the Pembroke, Batavia area. 

I live 5 minutes from Batavia, ate breakfast there yesterday, rode around the city looking at all the broken trees and branches and didn't see any snow.  ???  We had a few flakes fall but that was it-nothing stuck on the ground. We didn't have any power though for 12 hrs.-thank heavens for generators!

The baby RT's are getting so big now!
