Thanks Jean! I did everything earlier except stand on my head to get the cam back and it still wouldn't work. I have it back now and at 2:26PM CAT Emoyeni is in the same postion as in your last s'cap...she has her hiney facing us.

Gosh, I love watching that waterfall!

Emoyeni loves to watch the waterfall. I love seeing it too!

She's looking towards us. A nice view!

Glad you got the cam up again nightowl!

Video: Black Eagles of Roodekrans Are Back

The Black Eagles have returned, nesting on a cliff next to the Witpoortjie Falls in the Walter Sisulu National Botanical Garden,.

Although Black Eagles mate for life, Emoyeni has replaced her mate 3 times after 2 of them disappeared. With their shrinking habitat, I'm amazed they have survived.

Recorded at 8 AM local time

Aquila verreauxii

Thanks for the video beans! They are such pretty birds....and I finally saw Emoyeni in 'full', not just her head or hiney. :p

Good Morning nightowl, JudyB and Beans!:hello:
Great video Beans. What program do you use to capture videos from the streaming cams?? I would love to learn how to do that!:nod:

It's great to see the cam streaming today. When I pulled the cam up this morning Emoyeni was incubating. She got up shortly and left the nest for a few mintues. When she returned she stood for a few mintues so I could capture some good shots of her. Then she went further into the nest for a few mintues before back to incubating. Time shows on s'capes.

Emoyeni leaves nest and returns a few minutes later. Wew can see her full body!

She looks around...

She appears to be watching for mate.

She checks things out.

She goes deep into the nest.

Back to incubating
