Well, here's a picture of one chick, sitting up in front of Mom (or maybe Dad)



And right after that, the second one sat up right beside the first - a good, clear no-chance-of-mistaken-identity look at both chicks! I was so excited as I reached to open my capture window - that I missed, and opened my browser window to full screen, hiding the cam.


But I did see two tall gray fuzzy heads, side by side, in front of Mom. Honest!

Well done Judy!

The Cam has been stuck on the AN Rail for over half an hour now. I have just posted in the Tech thread and requested it be made stationary on the nest.

And as I write this, it has finally moved to the nest!!

12:34 pm Mom sitting quietly with her babes tucked under her!

I feel your pain, JudyB! Thank you for the report. I will continue my personal quest to see both babes...

gemini... I feel your pain too. Thank your for posting in the Tech Thread about this problem.

And cococat -- great s'caps. Even after all the bobbles I've seen over the seasons there is joy to see them, even in a s'cap.


3:16pm mom is Calling out

3:19pm what ever mom had on her mind there is no visible response to her call.

~3:28pm mom up and off the nest
a good view of one bobble and I think I saw a movement of the 2nd but no s'cap as far as I can tell so far

This sequence shows 1 bobble up quite tall then down and then up a little bit.









3:30pm 2 on the an rails

3:32pm 1 adult left the rails.

3:33pm Adult is back on the nest brooding the chicks.

4:00pm 1 adult on the AN rails. (by the clock on my PC)

4:11pm adult gone from the AN rails then reappeared seconds later.

4:16pm adult on the AN rail...

4;17pm Adult 'winked' out --- gone from the AN rail
4:20pm adult reappeared on the rail.


The Cam was pointed at the AN rails for 25 minutes... too long as far as I'm concerned.

Terry...some scaps to go with your report...

4:18p...came in to find one (dad?) on AN rail. Seconds later after cam freeze he was gone.


4:20p...returned immediately after spotting gulls flying to close to the nest

My times are based on my PC clock -- it is out of sync to the cam time.


4:25pm cam FINALLY panned to the nest and ma is sitting pretty brooding. no sign of her chicks

4:31pm cam pans to the AN rails again... Adult on the rail

4:34pm cam pans back to the nest; all is well - mom now facing to 3oclock
