Bird Cams Around the World

They need to go out a bit.

I'm not at all familiar with this nest, but at some nests, one bird will prefer sitting in one direction while incubating and the other bird prefers sitting in a different direction. Is that the case with Lil and Dan?

I am still looking back in pictures but will post what i have in a bit. In my opinion we are seeing 2 different ones.

if this one would turn around or if they would move out jsut a bit I could compare better

Completely stupid input here...

If both pairs were in nesting mode...

If there was a battle between the males or the females... what if the winning party (male or female) has come into nest? Would they still be in incubation mode and want to incubate eggs?

I don't believe an intruder would come to a nest with such familiarity as what we've seen this afternoon. Just my opinion, though.

Good question & from what I've seen in the past, for example Dori & Louie, the female wouldn't incubate the eggs until she lays her own, but we've seen too many surprises from these birds to say for sure!

not right away. From what i have seen and input from Gord. A male may be more likely than a female look at San Jose last year andI had same at my site with different male after eggs laid.
Remember at Pittsburg, new female would not incubate, male came back and did. She did not till she laid her own.

if we have 2 here , they are same 2,

still going stir crazy looking at photos

I know. Whoever this is, is responding to something... mate/intruders/workers across the street? who knows?

I think the students in Glenn's classes at UCSC might be driving the cams right now.... not 100% sure. I think they monitor the nest for prey deliveries during daylight hours. I don't know if they cover both San Francisco and San Jose, or when this starts, but I know they have been doing it for a few years now.

I like both nests, but honestly, there is more boots communication/outreach/news and cam operations geared towards viewers in San Jose. SF seems to be more observation based, not entertainment based in my opinion.

Pictures on page 19 are 2 different birds. one is lil.You can see head shot with that kind of narrow twist of black after full cap. there is a white gap in between.

Lil incubates with flp part of tail down and two wings up in air. SGB had a Picture of that today

I am not certain of ho is there right now unless they move back but I will post some past shots

poo , why are there no picutres
will try again

I just took some of these shots right from pages here so do not who they belong to

present ones are mine
