PPOs eggs failed again this year, but she and Poppa will have a chance to raise babies! A nearby rescue had 2 orphaned spotted eagle owl chicks that have now been fostered into PPOs nest! So far, so good!

Sweet! There are times it can be challenging, but I doubt we'll get to the sort of volume that overwhelms the system.

Mine are on their way!

Can we not look back in the archive viewer anymore or is it just me ? I tried but couldn't get it to work.

The archive doesn't go all the way back. I'm pretty sure it goes back 2 months or so. Just not enough disc space in to keep them all. If you know a specific time I believe Shaky can get it for you-last I knew he did transfer them to an off line archive.

Hoping I can get mine together tomorrow!

Early morning bonding!

Thanks for catching this!

Good morning Beauty and Dot.ca! An early morning visit by our pair at the Powers Bldg nest box!

Thank you for catching this...needed a smile to start my day!

Dang it...made me start crying again...

Disqus can have its challenges, but it has actually worked pretty well. It tends to get wonky when the thread gets huge-duplicate posts, ancient ghost posts popping up-but I doubt we'd ever get that big. There are a bunch of moderators who can clean things up when it gets off track. It keeps the comments forever and you can go back and see replies to your posts.

They have tried several times to engineer their own chat but keep coming back to disqus.

This is the main website

https://explore.org/livecams/service-dog-project/great-danes-puppy-nursery-cam

This is the direct youtube link for the nursery cam

! No longer available

Each of the 7 cams goes to a unique live stream. I believe all their cams do-there are zillions.

The nursery cam has been running on youtube since July 2016 despite numerous outages both at the farm and on the explore main site. There is a post from explore that their entire system will be offline tonight for system maintenance so I don't know if this youtube link will still be live tomorrow. During previous explore.org outages we have still been able to watch directly on youtube.

Addendum: their embedded chat runs through disqus. During hurricane Florence they had the youtube chat running on the Cape Fear cams on youtube (not embedded on their main site). One cam was readable, the other was zooming so fast you couldn't follow it.

What's the link to the great dane stream on YouTube? I'll look into it.

I have the separate links at home. Will post later

WHAT???? I'm speechless..

There is a way to get the link to be permanent. I have no idea how it's done, but the great dane cams I watch on explore.org are streamed through youtube and the links are the same even after a power outage/cams-offline. They only change if explore does a hard restart of the channel.

It might be only available after X amount of viewers like the embedding.

I tried all that at home-nada. I haven't spent an excess amount of time working on it. I haven't tried opening the stream directly in youtube at home. I haven't had any problem getting into chats on other streams directly on youtube.

I think it will be OK once we figure out the glitches. We do pick up a lot of non-members on the chat during the active season. Most people are pretty savvy about using youtube. From what I gather, it's the place to be now
