Bird Cams Around the World

this is weird. should be egg but of course not

someone should be back soon

came in at about 4:49pm

6:01pm

they have cam zoomed in for a bit. Poor girl. It jsut will not come

they zommed on the one egg poor girl

6:12pm

poo!!!we are not going to get and see her lay it but I will know if there are 2 after what time it came

I wonder if she can here the cam . she keeps looking up and to left.

It so pixel led right now which means we are going to loose it soon

someone reported 2 eggs but there is only one

I f you look further up where I circled by egg , that is what someone thought was an egg but I magnified and it was not. She would not have dashed doff either if she had just laid an egg.

the eyes play tricks sometimes but I think it is soon. I have videos of when they zoomed in but I have to put grandson in bedroom with that computer

but we should see it by morning.Poor girl has had a time of it

Good grief, I thought she was ready yesterday, now another whole day and no egg.

Thanks Bev!

I've been in and out all day. I could clearly tell from your pictures there was just one egg - great shots. So glad this forum exists, so we can always go check.

Thanks so much for the great coverage...first chance I've had to get back here..I'm sure some of these pics correspond to what's already been posted...I left the time stamp on them...all EST!!!

That's Jim and he is the "official" video poster for UCSC SF webcam. He captures most of the daily action when things start heating up in the season. They may have had watchers out today since things are getting busy, so that may be how the information was provided to him.

ETA: 201 Mission is the building across the street. Sometimes the cam will zoom over there when Dan & Lil are perching. We also see mating over there. They have been known to become very defensive when people go on the roof over there during nesting season.

Now, as for dropping an egg someplace else, it has been done. Years ago, I think George & Gracie used this site. One year, they laid 1 egg here, then ended up having the remainder of the clutch somewhere else (I think it might have been the bay bridge).

Glenn and his group took the egg from this site and brought it back to the UCSC lab and I think it ended up hatching. If I remember correctly, I think the hatchling was named GG2, or something like that... I'll look back and see if I can find some info.

Found it... from 2007:

Wait, did somebody from the site say they thought she dropped her egg or was that your theory SGB? Because I actually thought the same thing. Thanks mwplay for that info, interesting.

I know what you mean, I think of the wildest things too. Yes, I thought the male too, ok just got up and only one egg.

Edit: I think your theory is looking more and more possible.
