I don't recall cam 3 being this dark!

It's been like that for months. It's only in the morning right after the IR illumination switches off.

I knew they were off line-didn't know they were scheduled to come out, though it makes sense. The birds don't even visit the building.

Next on the agenda...Rochester Peregrine Museum!

I was thinking more along the lines of a shrine at The Church of M&K and Latter-day Poop Shots.

Thank God that there wasn't sound with that song! 
  

How about sound and video?

Sammy Hagar - I Can't Drive 55

didn't you say that camera had potential problems because of the way it was mounted?

It was mounted too low to see the eggs in the box, but that had little or nothing to do with the cable issue.

Things break. It happens all the time. When you can't get near the broken parts to fix them, you need to have spares in place ready to take over their duties. Also, in the course of the nesting season, there is no single camera that can cover all the angles.

More cameras is better.

Like 5!!!!!!!!!  

Well, 6 if you count the night video cam. And let's not forget the one on the Power's building. I was thinking this morning looking at the view from cam 4 that in an absolute emergency Shaky could probably get a cam over there working to watch TS.  

Our Powers Building cameras are no longer accessible. I lost contact with them last summer. It was around the time we got permission from DEC to remove the nest box so I didn't bother to troubleshoot the problem. Kenn has been tasked with removing the equipment since most of it belongs to him. When that is done, we will remove the nest box. This is the M&K box, which has historical value and probably should not be sitting out in the elements if it's not going to be used.

If i were going to set up another camera, I'd ask for a volunteer in the Aqueduct or First Federal Plaza buildings to host the camera.

WOW!!!!   What a contributor,CONGRATULATIONS.

Woo hoo! Thank you, everyone! 

Still at $975. Do I have to break into song and dance?

My apologies to Sammy...

One minute I'll take so I can harass, hey!
Cuz there's a thousand dollar mark I can't pass, no!
So I'll try my best beseeching move.
Can you do what's right and don't crush my groove again?

I'm at $975 with only $25 to go. Almost there! Thank you to the latest donor who pledged $25.

I just checked the Harrisburg website and there were 2 hatches yesterday.  I saved a picture and am trying to post it - hope it works!

Pigeons beware!

Thank you, Janet. And thank you, everyone who has made the decision to make a difference in the fight against heart disease and stroke.

Where do you stand now?

(can't figure out why the CPF picture links are breaking this year)

It's not an accident.
