The chart has been updated again.



This currently shows the first 33 days of brooding. It will be updated throughout the incubation period.

Thanks again to Ei and ginha.

Any idea why there's such a time lag on ustream between the main cam and the 4-pak?

The time and date that is displayed at the top of each stream is generated by the 2 devices (called quads) that allow us to remotely switch cameras. Unfortunately, the clocks are not in sync and cannot be automatically synchronized to a master clock. This would not be noticeable if they weren't such lousy clocks that run fast by several seconds per day, one running slightly faster than the other.

Once a week or so, I reset the clocks. I will try do that this morning.

There is another source of lag on Ustream you should be aware of. It's normal network lag, and it affects all streaming video. It affects each stream differently too so it is possible that our 2 streams can get out of sync as you are watching them. And if that weren't bad enough, the lag is also cumulative -- the longer you watch a stream, the more it lags. There is nothing we can do about it from our end, but you as a viewer can partially correct for it by periodically clicking on each stream's pause and play buttons. This will cause the stream to catch up to the current feed.

I can't see it in the picture, but it looks like there are still ruffled feathers - is the transmitter still on?

Yes, it is still on.

Beautiful presentation of Quest, Shaky!   What piece of music is that?   It's wonderful. 

Clair de Lune - Claude Debussy      One of my all time favorites, to hear and to play!

It's one of the pieces that comes with iPhoto for making slideshows.

Thanks to both for the answer!   I love the music and the photos!  Won't it be great if you can add on to it and show Quest's little ones?

Yes, that could be done although the original intent was to put together a sort of photo biography of Quest for her new fans in Canada.

It would be nice to collect all the pictures of Quest before she arrived in Toronto and save them in one location so her fans can easily find them. If you have any pictures, please post them here. Later we can put them in an album or a nice slide show complete with soundtrack that we can present to the folks in Canada.

Yes, a safe waterproof roof would be nice on days like this. There are a few other carpentry projects that could be done too. Maybe we'll find a carpenter who can donate a day or two in October to work on them.

Here is a slideshow of the pictures posted here. The photo credits are at the end. I hope they are correct.

Ustream will be performing scheduled system maintenance Tuesday, May 17, 2011 from 2:00am to 10:00am EDT.  There is a chance that we may experience limited or no connectivity to some of the streaming and interactive features on the Ustream platform during this period.

Welcome to the Forum!

That's quite the nest box.

I know, siding  and shingles! Very cool! Hmmm, ideas maybe?

Yes, I want to do that and also install gutters and a garage door opener for the side of the box. A built-in pool and concrete pavers for the falcony with some tasteful landscaping would be nice too.

That's quite the nest box.

Fixed. Good night.

Welcome to the forum!

The temp says 70, but could it be too warm? Her beak is open and she appears to be panting...

It was closer to 80, and she was hot in the morning sun.

Is there a spreadsheet or other file for the raw data?

Paul

Yes, there is, but it's not publicly available.
