The video of the Noon Toast

Carol got everyone to stand in the rain.

People afraid of getting wet

Thanks for creating the highlights, Ei!

Camera 1 is showing the crews setting up the fireworks on the exit ramp.

I voted and texted.

Video of Beauty perching on Main Camera at from 11:08 to 11:35 this morning

Beauty perches on Main Camera.

Is the new cam 1 mounted higher than the old one?  It might just be a difference in the zoom/angle, just seems to catch more of the arena

Ei

Yes it is Ei.  We moved it back and higher.

The new position gives us a full view of the top of the nest box, a better (though still shallow) angle into the box itself and a better view of the area on the south side of the nest box.

It also gives us a view of the Frontier communication tower and a view of the street below including Fledge Watch Central.

Camera is performing normally.

Hmmm, looks familiar.

Incoming falcon @ 8:04

Notice the shadow on the wall. Beauty was already perched on Main Camera.

I'll try to be there.

Does anyone know if Rochester is doing fireworks this year? I can point the cameras at the show.

Quite a surprise!

Nice shots from our new Cam 4.  Glad we installed it.

That's where I first noticed the tiercel.  We wouldn't have seen him with the old set up until he went to the box.  I'm very glad you installed it too!  

Ei

Camera 4 was installed specifically for this purpose -- to cover Camera 1's blind spot.

I'm pretty sure Shaky has it set-up to tape.  I contacted Jim P and he was at the Camera controls.  Pretty exciting!

Sorry, I was not recording. Ustream records for only 3 hours. The recording I started before going to bed last night had stopped, and I hadn't started this morning's because I was still in bed.

That's one small kak...
