It is fine to watch the cameras. We upgraded our monthly bandwidth and monitor its use. They actually turn off our site now when our maximum is reached. I don't know what makes the West End cam fuzz out at certain times of the day. I've sat out there monitoring the signal and it never does it while I'm there. I think it is in the transmission of the video at the third and final link. I'll try to figure it out again this fall. The Two Harbors camera is just a dirty lens and a faulty camera. |

That website is wrong. Forty percent do not survive their FIRST YEAR. In ten years I've never had an eaglet not survive its first flight. |

Karen, I'm with you. Don't want anything to do with snakes. I know they're a necessary part of our environment....just keep them far far away from me! Snakes are the main reason I don't camp. Have heard too many stories of snakes (and other creepy crawlies) climbing in sleeping bags with people at night for the warmth.

Cumbrian just posted a great explanation of doing the photos side-by-side under QUESTIONS>>TECH HELP for anyone interested. I knew she could explain it better than I could. Thanks, Cumbrian!

There was a long discussion of this issue during the Saanich nest, and we concluded this must have been one of those website mixups between juvenile survival rate and fledging survival rate (like the eagle-peregrine falcon speed issue). From the numbers that were quoted on some sites, if you took the number they gave just for not surviving fledging, and then added in the mortality due to predators, lack of food, failed hatching, etc, it couldn't be right since there'd be virtually no survivors left. Somebody has to survive to make it to the next generation

Hi to all. Another long day of packing boxes has come to an end. Finished up the kitchen and tomorrow we will load the truck, and head for Big Bear with the first load on Saturday. We met the people who are buying our Vista house this evening. They came over so Bill (hubby) could show them how the pool filter, sprinkler systems, timers, etc are set up and/or work. They are really a great couple, and they just love the house and yards. They also love birds and are going to continue to feed them. I'm so relieved that my wild birdies will be taken care of. I'll leave the feeders and a supply of food for them. I'm really happy I'm passing my house on to such nice people. HB, loved the fan and bassett pix, that dog is loving the breeze. Troth/Teri, have a wonderful and safe trip. Thanks to all you screen capture wizards: I sure enjoyed your pictures. ElaineRuth, hope you're OK, sounds like your storm is a real gully washer. Regarding Bixby's B's avatar, it's pretty ironic. The funny thing is, as car sick as he gets, he has no trouble riding in the boat, so I think he is driving a boat, not a car, in the avatar! Well, off to dreamland. Good night dear friends, have a pleasant evening. |

LOL Peppermint. There are no snakes in Hawaii except for a couple of ones that were confiscated at the airport and now live in the zoo. This year, I bought 130 acres in Nevada just because I could (there's literally no such thing as 130 acres in Hawaii and if there was it would cost several billion dollars). My husband reminded me of rattlesnakes and other critters I'd totally forgotten about since I've lived here so now we're looking to donate the whole thing to an animal rescue or wildlife restoration project. Dr Sharpe said they're reintroducing wolverines in that area. |
