Fantastic news...Thanks so much Carolyn...several of us were still watching this cam at 2 am (eastern time) and she looked soooooooooooooooo ready!!!

Well this is definitely a bonus. I'm so glad for her. She finally has her own nest and now a chick on the way, fingers crossed. I bet she makes a great mom with the help of little Sawatzke of course.

Just a quick not to let you know the Elk River cam will be down periodically Thursday night so GRE can do server maintenance. We'll get it back online as soon as we can.

Thanks for the heads-up on the cam maintenance, vmaxxt! Nice to see you! :eggthumbup:

Carolyn, great picture of Mary Ellen's first egg. Matrix, love your capture of the 2 in the box together with their egg! :flirty:

So glad Mary Ellen was able to lay an egg. :loveshow:

Something just occurred to me--since Mary Ellen didn't migrate last year, maybe she'll stay here this Winter & the box won't be empty! :clap:

ljames · **Posted:** Mon Apr 22, 2013 7:43 pm

Oh my, it's snowing like crazy right now and Mary Ellen sitting on the edge of the box.

The weather forecasters are suggesting one more round of flurries before the weekend. Then *maybe* 60 degrees on Saturday. Cross your fingers for the end of eternal winter, finally!

And now sun!!!

I wonder when they'll switch to the inside cam...????

catwoman · **Posted:** Tue Apr 23, 2013 6:10 pm

Wonder if someone different is controlling the cam this year or maybe the inside cam isn't working? If memory serves me, we normally have the inside view by egg-laying time.
