Bird Cams Around the World

will try an d start putting cam up again. just in case early

The one and only Zeus is giving his lady-love a little R and R by keeping the eggs warm for a bit. They must be talking to him because he keeps bending down to look at them...

Live sighting and Cam sighting


11:38 a.m. A bird takes off from the County City building and ..... yes, yes, that is the distinct shape of a peregrine falcon ! Flying, wheeling and then perching on the Chase bank building. Later at around 12:10, the bird wheels and flies behind a building. I lose sight of it, but then notice that a falcon is perched one of Zeus's favorite spots on the County City Building corner.


I walk into the library and on the cam 12:20 Maltese (definitely her ) is with the eggs, doing lots of checking and a little moving, now some listening, and now hmmm, looks like she is going to settle down on top if them...... no , now she is up again. There are clearly four eggs but not in the same position as before.

12:25 now she is on them but more alert than she has been recently whilst setting. She has lovely speckle patterns around her head.


1:05 I missed the transfer but now it is Zeus sitting on the eggs. He also looks pretty alert. He turns his head to the left, then looks down. Not looking sleepy at all as he was so recently whist sitting.

Thanks for your eye- witness report, sbwatcher, and your catches, Bev! Right now I'm watching Zeus sitting earnestly on his eggs, almost constantly bending his head down to listen... He is so much fun to watch!

I am watching too. Must be nice to relax after storms last night. We might get another wallop today.

Zeus is on the eggs again? I assume Maltese has been here between my visits?

It is pouring rain out there

Whew! Finally got an eyeball on Maltese! And Zeus wasted no time leaving , either. To my eye the eggs looked intact...

caught an exchange
it was sure wet there

she is getting more antsy at 5pm

She does seem fidgety to me too. Oh no, I just got a message that the cam has stopped streaming. Now it is back up. Whew!

at 7:53

I believe an egg has pipped. I will try and post picture but it will be hard to tell but I watched , it is top on e
in picture
be right back and Zeus is on LOL

I bet you are right Bev. I can't see anything, but she is sure moving around a lot and listening.

my epicure did not turn out very good.

Is thid her first nesting??

8:58pm and up and down and up and down.
