Maybe we can talk Shaky into developing new Archer & Beauty Shakymon classics for 2012's calendar!!!

Maybe 2013.

You can also see the nest box and ledge above it.

and the wall that Jemison and Callidora enjoyed walking down.

You can see it all!! 

Even at night!

Poutine pizza will be the official dish at next year's falcon watchers day.

We replaced Camera 4 with a wide angle camera today.

Camera 1 will be reinstalled next weekend if it is ready.

[View All Cameras]

camera 1 and 4 are same pic for me  (camera 1 with the 10am time)

Camera 1 is now showing its last picture taken back on October 17.

I'll miss the Powers Cam but I'll get over it!

Powers Cam is now Camera 5. The View All Cameras page now shows all 6 cameras

Work is done for today. We have 4 cameras working at Times Square. All 4 of them are capturing still pictures and streaming video. Check out the new and improved Camera2 and Camera 3.

We will be working on the cameras Saturday and possibly Sunday. Expect more outages.

Thank you, Carla!

Let's just say it wasn't my fault.

I sent that message from our eBay account to several buyers remind them to leave feedback after receiving the cards.

We want to have a good feedback rating to ensure that we remain in good standing with eBay Giving Works and MissionFish in order to keep our non-profit status and continue to receive credits for eBay listing fees.

Thought for Today - This one is for my friend K who I have not heard from in a very long time.

"Duct tape is like the force.  It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the world together."

I think K crossed over to the Duck side.

The new cam does not zoom or move, but it does see at night and it gives us an important missing camera angle.

A pan/tilt/zoom camera in this location would be a good future upgrade, especially if it could tilt upward far enough to see the top of the building. Maybe next Fall. We'll make that decision after we see how this arrangement works

Main camera is back, and a new camera has been installed on the south side of the porch. We also added streaming video to Main Camera.

We replaced the two aging cameras inside the nest box, but ran into a bit of trouble drilling a bigger hole in the wall for the cables. Our really big masonry drill bit needed to be really, really big in order for the cables to fit through the hole. So we will be returning next weekend to finish drilling the hole and connecting the new cameras.

We also removed Camera 1 so it can be repaired or replaced. As you may recall, it got stuck pointed in the wrong direction several times during the summer. This is to prevent that from happening again.

So for the time being, there are only 2 cameras, but both are streaming video and should give us excellent views of our falcons in the nest box and on the perch.

PS. We also looked that the leaky roof and have a couple of ideas on how to fix it without negatively impacting the falcons.

I recently acquired a Kodak Playsport waterproof video camera for some upcoming vacations. I took it out for a test spin last weekend at Bristol Mountain during a Fall Sky Ride. Here is the video on Youtube.
