You may wish to bookmark Humble's YouTube site. There are a lot of videos there from 2006, both Saanich (Sidney) and Hornby Island. Take a tour down Memory Lane.

At that time, I uploaded my vids to PutFile. When that website went down, I lost the vids. Fortunately, I uploaded copies of the Sidney/Saanich 2006 vids to my album in Hancock Media Gallery. Unfortunately, I uploaded only one Hornby vid to HMG. The rest are gone. *poof*

I managed to keep a few clips and made some "memories" vids, which are also in HMG.

Good afternoon all!!

Thanks for the BRILLIANT information Nightowl!! Now I will just have to see how you use that marine traffic site....but it is useful!!

beans, sorry to hear about losing a lot of your videos. That must have made your heart sink!!

It is another blustery day at the nest. The winds are very strong, and you need to turn down the mic to tolerate the racket!! It looks like Ma on the nest holding on to her tailfeathers!!


2.14 Now it looks like Ma is braving the wind to feed Elizabeth. Focus is not too good due to the wind.

Hi All! Trust me you are "brilliant" Nightowl - I just know! That site is sure interesting. I found ferries and ships and all sorts of things. Now I have a new occupation - tracking ships.

We tracked a cruise ship last night, around 10 PM. It sure was beautiful! All lit up!

Good evening Hornby!

Hey beans, Carolyn, and Jill!

Thanks for the tip on bookmarking Humble's videos beans! I did just that a few minutes ago. I"m sorry you lost most of your 'vintage' videos of Ma and Pa.

I think the cruise ship you were watching was the Disney Wonder last night, and yep, it was all lite up like a Christmas tree!

OK, I've been waiting for Elizabeth to get big enough so we could see a poop shoot...and she is! Not a very clear s'cap of the ps (the gray blob between Ma/Pa and the stump is that cute little hiney in the air), but you can kinda see the stream leaving her hiney. I think she christened the stump with that one!

8:05PM Too quick to get a s'cap, but Elizabeth did another poop shoot over the side of the nest...this side of the stump. Well, judging by the amount and distance, I'd say she's a well fed chicklet!

OK, just a couple of s'caps of the setting sun...





The Golden Princess should be in view after dark...I think. It's traveling at 12.9 knots.

Alrighty then, not even close to dark at the nest, but it's my bedtime...

Night Ma...Night Elizabeth...Night Pa...in whichever tree you're in!

Poopshot!
