What will 2016 bring? Long time and beloved residents, Athena and Six, were displaced. Coincidence? Did they choose to relocate together?

Enter 2 new falcons for 2015: Juliet, b/g 41/AX, a New York gal and her unbanded mate. Will they return for 2016? Stay tuned!!!


Union County~new for 2016



Female: b/g Y/98 (2010 hatch from Throgs Neck Bridge, NY)
Male: Unbanded

I just called to re-activate the internet at 101 Hudson St. this morning, so if all goes according to plan then we could be viewing the nestbox later today or tomorrow. If not, then it means that I need to visit the site to do some networking configuration... Stay tuned!

They were on 30 Exchange Place. Feed is now live on our website. Inside camera is not working so I need to figure out what's going on with that...

Feed is now live, online: http://www.conservewildlifenj.org/education/falconcam/

We are working with a partner to provide free HD streaming of the video this year. The only caveat is that ads will run beside the stream on the page. As an alternative for those who do not want to see ads then we will stream a lower quality stream on a page without ads. I'd love to hear what you think about this. I am highly opposed to ads (especially those that play within the streaming video) but can see how we need them to display a much better quality feed. The HD feed with ads will not have them playing in the live feed but off to the side. I think this is a good compromise without spending loads of $ on paying for online streaming (which is $$$ for HD).

I'm currently seeing the outside the nestbox feed..(is the nestbox feed live yet?) I'm viewing HD but am currently seeing no ads to the side of the cam (unless "Unreal Birds" is the ad). I too hate ads, but as long as they are to the side, I have no problem with them..the ones that continually pop up either at the beginning of or during a live feed drive me nuts..I certainly do understand the need for them if it will help lower streaming costs..

OK..so I clicked on the Sponsored by Unreal Birds ad and it took me to a neat website. From there I located the really cute story about Bridgette, the peregrine falcon...

Bridgette - wow!! Great story :5val:

Thanks Ben-I am getting the outside cam...no ads running.
I agree with Sky about not liking the ads to run during the live
feed/pop ups...

The cam takes a few seconds to come up (maybe because I am on
IE)

Right now we are NOT seeing ads. We are getting a taste of the high quality feed without ads. When we do run the HD feed with ads it will most likely go on a separate page (i.e. Click to view HD stream, but with ads that run on the side of the view).

The inside (pinhole) camera is down (or broken). It hasn't worked properly since 2014. I am planning to fix it in early Feb.

That really isn't an ad that is too offensive, so we put that there to give thanks to some of our supporters. Want to sponsor the cam? ;)

Thanks Ben!

I think it's a good idea to give viewers the choice of which type of feed to view, and as long as the ads are off to the side and not interrupting the viewing, I'm cool with it. :)

Would anyone like to see a discussion/comment thread on the camera viewing page on our website? I'm considering it...

Also - we are recording video 24/7, so if you are watching and see something cool then please let me know and I can control the camera and save the video to share.
