Bird Cams Around the World

Of course it's not at all sure that this is the right Brent Cummins . . .
I went to the Facebook page of South Bend and posted a request to get rid of that annoying message on the cam

At 2:26 Guinevere is down in the box taking a nap... I've got to head out to our High Schools musical - Music Man... With any luck Madame G will have laid an egg by the time I get back..

She is not in the box now...

I cant get the cam. Is Mr. Cummins fixing things?
6:16 Now the BCAW link is not even taking me to the correct web page?

The cam is up, however no one is in the box currently (and no eggs yet!)

That is the link I have been using, don't know if that helps or not!

Thanks for trying marine of two, Your link takes me to the right website, but no video is running- just a black square where it should be... It did this last night too for a while, and then finally came back on

She's barely moving...

I've been watching the cam while I work on-line. Ms G. is RESTLESS tonight !
From 4-4:36 she has hopped down into the box, turned, hopped back onto the ledge, then the outer perch, now back in the box. This is so unlike her nighttime behavior January -March when I would see her perched quietly in a window of the Tower Building and would come back hours later to find her (and usually Mr. Tiercel in a nearby window) positions unchanged. Perhaps they were saving up sleep for the spring.
4:55 she is still awake, looking out into the distance. I am watching her breathe and sometimes her belly moves in a peculiar way, pushing out much further than one would think is needed merely to provide oxygen for a small bird at rest. She seems peaceful though and not in any distress.
5:05 now she is turning her head and her belly is still pushing out, sometimes the upper and sometimes the lower belly. I wonder if Mr. Tiercel is sitting outside. I noticed him perched on the NW corner of the building just a few days ago, looking like a proud family man.
5:27 I looked again and she is gone. I will be driving past the building soon on my way home and will have a look.

Thank you Brent Cummins for clicking the OK button! Now move the cursor to the side and we are fine to go

Male was there, flew off and now G is back in the scrape. No egg yet. (07.18 local time)

7:18 I looked back at the web cam, Ms. G is back and she does not look peaceful at all. She is alternating between trudging around the nest and crouching down, sometimes pushing her head down towards her legs and sometimes opening her mouth. She looks uncomfortable, like an extremely pregnant lady. Mr. Tiercel is on the ledge outside.

I have put Dutch Eagle Fan on alert in case today is the day.

7:39 She has quieted down and is sitting in one spot. I hope she lays the egg there because it's well in view of the camera.

7:46 Got called to work !

False alarm (Deleted 1872 screenshots )

Sorry 'bout the false alarm guys, I'm new to bird cam watching, you know. I wonder if Mr. T is new to family life, could this be his first experience as a mate and father?

Question for the day: If pregnant humans crave pickles and ice cream, what do pregnant falcons crave?

Falco back in the box, the waiting continues.
(By the way, cursor has gone too now, THANK YOU Brent Cummins!)
