:6snowflake: Hi- I was daydreaming about this site this morning, wondering if Anyone knew any basic information about it. Like: Are the Owls still there? Is the nest box empty? has another falcon pair moved in? Like I said, just wondering.......

I just corresponded with Bryan Watts (CCB) on the cam issue here and the status of the falcons. Both DGIF and CCB were transmitting signals to the web through a UVA server (some of you may still have those original links) and they have taken it down. Bryan had dinner with the contact at UVA and the server has been down for months and they were looking at new providers. The UVA project is pretty big and long term so I assume it will get addressed eventually.

He also said the one of the researchers on the eastern shore spotted the pair but didn't know if they were in the box. CCB is planning to survey the nests, which Libby used to do, not sure of any details, but that is when we know if they were nesting there.
