<::: PLEASE READ


The Nest Observations/Nest Watch thread remains open ... as long as there are cameras ... which are operational ... to watch.

Normally the VCOE and the IWS work on the cam equipment during the fall/winter ... so the cams may go off from time to time ... but we are normally advised by them if they are working in the area.


Just a few Gentle Reminders about posting on this thread. (Helps to save time when reading through it.)

Please remember that it is the CHANNEL ISLANDS NESTS ONLY, either on or off camera, that we post our observations/comments about.

There are FIVE IWS nests with cameras online, so it is important to know WHICH NEST you are observing.

Please put the Initials at the start of your post.

. . .ALL NEST CAMS - http://www.iws.org/interactive_nestchat_allUstream.html
. . .BC = Bald Canyon on San Clemente Island - Temporarily unavailable
:new: FP = Fraser Point - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-1cQ2VkIlw
. . .SC = Sauces Canyon (WMP) - http://media1.vcoe.org/eaglecam2 Temporarily unavailable
. . .SC = Sauces Canyon - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHnvyzM0MNc
. . .SC = Sauces Canyon (Explore) - http://explore.org/live-cams/player/sauces-bald-eagle
. . .TH = Two Harbors - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yh1sIcKJkhM
. . .WE = West End - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lLd4fQw8dc


These nests are all in California ... so it's Pacific Time on this coast.

We prefer that the Quote Button is not used on this thread ... and if you must use it ... because you are referring to something on a previous page ... then take TEXT only ... never captures or video.

Thanks!

“A request from Dr. Sharpe”

We are recording the activity at the Two Harbors and West End nests so that we can identify all the prey brought to the nests to calibrate the results of the nest excavations at the end of the season. I'd appreciate if you could continue to report the times that prey are brought to the nest so that later we can go through the recordings more quickly to identify the items. Thanks.

Maybe prey delivery posts could be started with  >>: even if it is a bird or unidentified,  so that we can spot them more easily.

To make it easier for the biologists to see the prey deliveries, please limit the use of the blue fish to prey deliveries only.

Begin your post with the nest initials, followed by the time of delivery & the blue fish.

We are recording prey deliveries at all the online nests, so please continue to use the blue fish for deliveries at any nest.


Thank you!

"We'll be turning off the power system that transmits the TH and WE nest video to the mainland this week for renovations and recharging. The Big Bear system will also be off for a week to recharge."

Cam is up, nest is empty. Seems to be having audio problems ?? Sounds like a motor running

Stand corrected. Cam goes off and on, then runs smooth again

SC - Cam looks live, but I'm not getting any sound.

Are you getting sound, Jo, or is it my computer?

Flicker lands at the 4, then moves to the 3, bobbing up and down.

If it is calling, I'm not hearing it ?? It flies right

I believe I am hearing the brook though ?

Cam has begun to freeze.......Bird lands at the 9, then flies right behind the nest

Maybe there is no audio, can't really tell, but I was hearing the thunck noise from the cam earlier, IDK

Now a scratchy sound joins the hum, surely not hearing any birds though



Must begin chores here.............BBL

SC - Sound just crackled on. Mostly a hum.

It's weird, but when I record and play back, I get a loud tinny sound...very annoying.

Hope they're able to fix that before the season gets fully under way!

Come up to find the cam viewing the pole and networks. Scanning around the bottom. Then the scan widens out to the sea, then along the left looking for eagles.

9.46
It zooms in on one of their favorite tree spots. Appears empty. Gorge down the right side.

9.47
Cam zips around back to nest view

9.48
Turned on the audio and can hear a Shrike pitching a fit

9.49
Sounds like the hum is gone now

SC - Cam jerking to different views.

Smooths out and gives us some different views of the surrounding area.

9:47pm - Cam returns to nest view.


edit: Jo, you should be an author. Your descriptions are always so good!
