The refresh rate was increased on the cam so It actually comes out like a video!

WOW, DK. that is so much better than the still shots.  Thanks, they have been
at it all day and RM has been at her ledge all day, protecting it from the "hard hat spideymen" who were crawling up her hotel walls yesterday.  Must be the Spring Love Season..

Thankfully it doesn't "read" to the corp. firewall as video. All my stills from there are saved frames from video capture-just easier to set the recorder & let it go.

Can't tell.  Does she still have her transmitter or has she finally lost it?

Quest and Kendal Working it Out
March 09, 2013 - Toronto - Don Mills

Bruce Massey Reports:

Yesterday I was joined by Tracy Simpson at the 220 Duncan Mill Road nest site as Quest and Kendal were both on site and their behaviour was a little odd.  In the morning when I first arrived, Kendal was shadowing Quest wherever she went and was almost harassing her.  By the afternoon when Tracy arrived, the tables had turned and it was Quest that was now instigating the chases.  While the activity was all on friendly terms, it was clear that Kendal had pushed his luck with Quest and she was now annoyed with him.  Twice he flew in to mate with her as she sat on the Harlequin building calling him and twice he seemed to abort at the last minute.  Finally she’d had enough of his half hearted attempts and chased him off of every perch he landed on.  It was clear that she wanted him to focus and he was more interested in attending to the nest bowl than her.  She set him straight by the late afternoon and the pair settled in at the nest site.  All photos courtesy of Tracy Simpson.

Have to share this "oops" moment from yesterday. Just as Kendal approached for mating, Quest turned around and he almost landed on her head!!
