Are our falcons hanging around?
The Racine falcon is hanging around daily
The Baltimore falcons are hanging around

Sorry for the delay!!! :sorrow:

We have a brand new setup that is causing me fits. :sum6:

I've enabled the old encoder and have started streaming tonight. Here's what we've observed thus far:

12/15/2022: We added a ruler to the side of the box to show people how big these birds are.
2/23: Our Peregrine Falcons are back for the 2023 nesting season!
2/19/23: Brooklyn 65/M & Breezy 31/P returned to their nest box! This is a true sign of spring!!!

Breezy stays at the box most days. Today Brooklyn was spotted bringing her food. Please Mother Nature, warm this area of the US up. we've had enough snow and rain this winter! :cold:

Many thanks QoS!!

So glad the cam is back! It will be interesting to see how much the chicks have grown from week to week. It will help us the recognize whether the adult that was at the box was Brooklyn or Breezy! With so many nests that we watch so chaotic with adults being replaced, it will be good to relax with Brooklyn and Breezy!

We appreciate your efforts to keep this cam up and running! :thanku

Is there a new link? The old one doesn't work for me.

FYI, one of our young from 2 years ago (named after me :10sum:

) was spotted at the King plant earlier this spring, the plant shared the video with us.

So happy to hear she's made it to adulthood. :best

I'm going to stop the stream, see where the button moved to, start the DVR & restart. After, I'll update the links.
