Wow, that was fast. Interesting shape to that nest box. I see it’s manufactured by GardeNature - the trick is having a good location, close to mains power and within WiFi range. Thanks!
Yes the box is GardenNature, but the camera isn’t made by them.

It’s not internet connected. The transmitter transmits to a receiver connected to your tv/computer/recording device

The transmitter and receiver need to be in range of each other, and mains power is needed both ends, but no wifi is needed.

Here’s a link to an Eagle Cam in Pennsylvania.... the poor mother bird is huddled on eggs


Here is a link to Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge on Maryland’s Eastern shore... they have both an Eagle nd Osprey cm operating... you can see and hear the snow pelting the osprey nesting platform


Lastly, here is a nesting Eagle sitting in downtown DC... mother eagle sitting there on chicks

Here’s a snap of the Pennsylvania Game Commission camera focused on the Eagle nest in full snow, there are other snaps when the Eagle got up and moved about, could see the eggs.

This is so cool! One doesn’t need zoos anymore, except for conservation purposes. I wonder if there’s something like that for tortoises. Not that the images could be very exciting — pretending to be a rock, pretending to be a rock, pretending to be a rock, vanished... :D

Poor thing. I wish she could dial the housekeeping to have all that snow cleared.

That’s determined parenting in the snow!

This is the feed for Sheffield Cathedral’s Peregrine Falcons. They’re around the platform (I saw then just now), but they’re not nesting yet

If you would like to really see an active bird feeder, here’s one in upstate New York, sponsored by Cornell University.
It’s full of activity. Peregrines have a great city view!

Video time...

You have to excuse the film quality as I don’t have recording equipment for my nest box camera, so I am filming this from the tv screen using my phone.

The female builds the nest, but the male is about. I can tell them apart now. His colours are much sharper and he is slightly smaller. Her breast is more “smudged”

First up 18 March - the male comes in and then is replaced by the female who does some of her regular woodpecking

And this is a week before - 11 March - the female up in the top left pecking and pecking. She does this a lot.

How lovely!!!! What a treat to see!
Thank you!!!! [emoji2][emoji173]️

One never thinks about the poor wild animals in that awful weather.. Poor things!

Hi, Bee!
I was busy with work much of the day. Then at 3:00 I had to drive Jacques to her check up appointment with the vet in New Orleans, which is a 45 minute drive. Their office was SUPER BUSY: ahead of me in the waiting room were an African Grey parrot, 3 ferrets, a bearded dragon and others. I waited from 4:00 to 5:30 before they even put us in a room. But I could hear how busy they were. Jacques got a clean bill of health!!!!!! He feels she is fully recovered from her pneumonia!!!!!! YAAAAAYYYYY!!!!:):):)
Unfortunately she has developed a white patch on her front leg, which he says is very odd and he wants us to keep an eye on it.
I just got home about 15 min ago and am exhausted.
May go to bed early.
But I"m so glad to get the OFFICIAL word that Jacques is recovered!!! Now I can start using "tough love" to get her to eat other things besides salmon!!!! :p
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy !
Well done little girl, Jaques and very well done mommy Bea ! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyy again for you both.
The white patch on her leg you must observe. Unfortunately antibiotics are known to depresse the own immune system. After a treatment with antibiotics sometimes some weird fungus can develop.
