I'm guessing we're taking a tour and seeing just how far we can see with Cam 1?  I see Mercury over on the right...

Callidora's the adventurer today.

Seems to be OK now as of 1PM

Main cam stuck starting at 12:20 pm

AWWW!!! 

Great Video on You tube.  I love that both of the girls' head swivel in unison as they are watching one of the parents overhead.  Great video piece!

The heads swiveling in unison is one of the things I've been most looking forward to with the video stream.  For years we've been able to almost see it-it's as much fun as I thought it would be!

hey Ei, that was cool, what do you use to capture videos? 

I use SnagIt

Great tip! Please show everyone how to use it.

SnagIt is a program I purchased from TechSmith years ago-although I'm seeing it in the toolbars of some microsoft programs on this lovely new work 'puter-I haven't investigated yet if it's fully functional.

Anyway-it has a variety of input and output options.  For videos, I use region input with sound and select the section of the screen I want-there's another test video on youtube where I selected both streams-click start & it will record whatever is on the screen until you click on stop.  I have it set to save in sequentially numbered *.avi files.  I had to tweak some computer settings at home for some windows media player broadcasts (turn off video acceleration), but most work as is.  I also have a couple of setups for stills. 

I'll look and see how the freebie versions work.  If anyone has the program & wants specific help, just ask

Don't get any ideas there girl! 

Callidora's up on the perch...they both watched (probably) Mom fly up above...she lost her footing for a second, but she held her perch.  Video captured.

OK...let's see how it goes (had the sound off-I'm at work)  Video on youtube

Some outstanding wings this afternoon!



AND a fluffy pantalooned whirly head!

Today I'm reminded of ermine edged capes

The Incredible Hulk!

Remember the year that all the boys were lined up in the back of the box like this & we had some fun with the captions?
