Here's a feeding comparison between Beauty--Dot.ca & Nova--Neander. One thing stands out right away! Can you see it?

It's those 2 am Taco Bell breakfasts.

Welcome, EDC!

No, it was sitting by itself for quite awhile, maybe the way the light was hitting it.

There were also some problems with the video stream at that time. The camera could have been acting up and making things look weird.

Congrats on your first post!

17:47 Nova landed on end of platform. Neander said, "I got this." She returned to Mercury a minute later. -Shaky

Today the main cam still images stuck at 7.20 am

It's the same overheating problem as last year. It will start working again later this afternoon.

[There are several way to tell Nova and Neander apart.]

There are several way to tell Nova and Neander apart.

      
      
      

• Nova is bigger than Neander.
• Nova has white feathers above her cere.
• Neander has a white feather on edge of his left wing.
• Nova has dark spots on her white breast. Neander's white breast has short, thin, dark vertical lines.
• The lower edges of Nova's black hood are fairly sharp and distinct on both sides. She also has a strip of white extending back on the left side of her neck.
• Neander has a bit of white fuzziness intruding into the edge of his hood on both sides. The fuzziness is sort of clover shaped.
• Nova has a darker head.
• The back edge of Nova's beak extends further back under her eye than Neander's.

Almost ready for flight training.

Yesterday, I went to visit my local peregrine falcon pair. The high river level made it difficult to get to the viewing spot off Plummer's Island. However, the experience was worth it. There are definitely chicks, as the pair keeps bringing food to the nest box and one can hear begging calls from far away. Here is the Dad, resting after a long hunting trip.

Nice photo, Paul. Is that a spiderweb on the left?

Egg shifts week 3!

I miss the standoffs.

The lunar eclipse has begun!

Moon before it went out of frame

The Powers Building flag is back. It was raised today at 13:46. Before that, a brave soul climbed to the top of the flagpole to repair it. You can see for yourself on this time-lapse video from Camera 4.

A recent TV story about the naming of N&N and an interview of GVAS president June Summers.

It appears that the reporting team actually explored the Rfalconcam website and discovered, among other things, the family tree and the daily time-lapse videos.
