SureExclaimation I don't know who originally coined the term, "Fledgefest". Was the first one in 2006 or 2007 Don't Know

A month or so ago, I posted a link in the "Cams Down" thread to a camera that NASCAR uses on top of their cars. When the "lens" gets dirty, it moves over and voila Exclaimation a clean "lens" Left thumb up It must have a coil of acetate or something inside it -- not sure how it works but for sure it is controlled remotely to move it Nodding

I don't know whether anyone sent that on to Richard or not Puzzled

I like Fledge-efest Left thumb up

Just so we can feel a little closer to the action, this is a photo I took just this past Friday.
This is the meeting place where everyone will gather to view the nests. elle and I nearly lost sight of Kay in the tall grass Wink.
It's about 5ft tall...wave

Thanks, Sandra -- just like being there Wink Wub

Well--I would likely disappear in the grass then Rolling on floor laughing 4 foot nuthin' with my hands in the air as they say Wink (actually I'm about 5 foot tall Grin )

Edited to add:

Has our little fledgling been in the nest at all today :question: Not a peep out of anyone for the last hour or so Sad

I love that photo of yours Sandra!

Thank you for posting it with the nest site labels!

No wonder they used the "old nest" so much--it's like an annex or a patio--this is a great perspective on it!

ohhhhhhh boy I hope so Skipper!! That's was my thought way back kinda sorta and it sounds maybe even slightly easier. We just dig that up and make sure Richard does see it!!

Thanks Sandra that's a great pic and perspective for us

woohooo another shorty! I've got you by 3 inches but we're still in the same club Skipper. Not that I know of I heard a few peeps but never really close today yet. Just wait till the goodies hit the beach later

(I'm not going to be able to keep up I can see that, my arm is hurting so if I go missing for a bit it's to ice it) Sad


I would rather spend my life close to the birds than wishing I had wings

I remember the 2008 season (when there was no cam in the new nest and the Ground Crew posted photos of the Sidneys Left thumb up) when the eaglets came flying into the old nest for the first time. What a racket Exclaimation

Wow -- what excitement that generated on the forum Exclaimation:

How about Freddie having the close-up cam for brekkie Rolling on floor laughing

11:28 a.m.

Was that the sound of a fly-by Puzzled I thought I heard a couple of screeps--or maybe it was Star Ling Don't KnowTitter

The dogs are barking though.
