Pete have you heard anything about when the phpbb server will have the Norfolk forum back on line?  What a shame that Maine is down too.  :(   I certainly hope that when they get back up all their archives are still intact.  :X:

That cam is so awesome...you can see the detail in the screencap I took.  It's a  a Mobotix  and the whole local system is supplied with energy from solar panels. Sometimes it does buffer but it's working great right now :D

Penny, I've been wondering/worried about it too
I just get the same old mesage about it being a server issue

The hosting site doesn't answer emails :bam: . . . my personal opinion is that it's been hacked :huh: :wacko:

I hope we don't lose all that good info that was on there, but I have my doubts

I hope there was a back-up in place for all that

I'm thinking Norfolk & Maine ought to transfer from phpbb to ipb :)^
Judy from Maine already has a temp forum on ipb now

I didn't realize how badly I was addicted :<:: until I couldn't reach the forums & the cams :lol:

....I also have a technical question for you about our D90... over in Photo....

I posted a reply in the photo tech board for you :)^

Too gray and dismal here this afternoon and i really wanted to go find something to shoot. We have had alot of robbins passing through here today and they were all over my back and front yards "Worming". Some seem to be establishing their territories before the hens show up. I think the males tend to precede the females to select territories and then they begin to "advertise their availability" to the hens

Peetie, your "buzzards" sure don't look like our vultures... seems your had a whitish tail.. middle picture... would like to see it close up... can you crop your pictures to show the birds bigger??? or are they already cropped... enjoyed them anyway.

Good morning everyone. I wanted to comment on the Vulture/Buzzard question. My DH is from England and knows all the European Birds. He tells me what they call Buzzards are very similar to Eagles. Not Vulture-like at all, which was always my impression of them. He says they look more like Golden Eagles and are the biggest Birds in the place where he grew up.

A great day to All.


:}^

That's what I was thinking too...looks more like an eagle than a vulture.

Lori, Glad you like my new signature... I'm trying to get my photo of Wray back on my signature line but had trouble getting it back on.. I will try again.. yes, it is Wray taken last spring from Scott and Joanie's boat.. we were right under the WE nest.... just tried again, it said my signature was too long :blink: maybe I need to resize it??

Linda, You have three photos, but those photos are loooooong image codes. Maybe you could combine your signature and eagle in one graphic(?) I have the same problem - I am right at the limit with what I have (graphic of soaring eagle, name made up in photobucket, and one other graphic. Limit :wacko:

I still think Peetie's bird is a Hawk. Typical wingshape. Also, I think the head would be bigger if it was an eagle.
Here's some info from Wikipedia about Buzzards:

In the Old World (Europe and stuff)
Buzzard can mean:

One of several medium-sized, wide-ranging raptors with a robust body and broad wings.
In particular, those in the genus Buteo(Hawks). In the Old World, members of this genus are named as "buzzards", but "hawk" is more common in North America.
Specifically, in Europe, the Common Buzzard, Buteo buteo, where Buzzard is often used as a synonym.
Any raptor which has the word buzzard as part of its name.

In the New World
Buzzard can mean:

A vulture, particularly the American Black Vulture and Turkey Vulture, or as a general term for vultures.
In parts of the United States where they are considered pest, particularly in rural areas, a derogatory term for certain birds of prey, such as the Chickenhawk (a common colloquial name referring to both the Red-tailed Hawk and the Cooper's Hawk), or the Duck hawk (known elsewhere as the Peregrine).
