In the summer it is pretty light the further north you go. In the winter it is darker.
When I lived in Peace country, we only go ta few hours of dusk.

In the mountains it is dark early.

Yes the camera has stopped now.

they do look very good.

We will see what tomorrow brings and I hope not rain. that will put damper on everything

I think cam has stoppee also.

Will be here early in morning.

I sure appreciate all you are doing MaryAnne. And I appreciate all the others that are helping here also. If I could cancel my appointment , I would.

Not to worry Bev...we'll cover it while you're gone..even if the parents get there before I do in the morning, I think we'll know...via crops and I don't think the parents will leave the quail carcass in there...

of course, the kids could toss it out over night, but I doubt it...

I'm off to bed!!

Well . thanks a bunch. I am off to rest my eyes and get a bit of sleep.
If quail is gone adults will have been there.

you're up early again Carly :wink:

does the cam reboot automatically or does it have to wait for an operator to come on duty???

Catbird · **Posted:** Tue Jun 15, 2010 6:35 am

Of all times for the cam to be frozen! I sure hope it will automatically reboot soon.

Catbird · **Posted:** Tue Jun 15, 2010 7:18 am

OK, I just read the caption under the cam that says "Live image updates every 5 seconds from dawn until dusk." So...I'll bet that's why the cam seems frozen!

I'm not sure when the sun rises in Alberta, but they're 2 hours behind those of us on the East Coast.

I just went and checked the weather for Edmonton. (Maybe the cam really is stuck, since the sunrise was about 20 minutes ago.)

thanks for the weather report, Catbird..(wish it was that temp here!!!)..well, still the same pic from last night..so maybe it kicks in at 8, East coast time..) When it does, I hope we see a parent in there OR very full crops!!!

(edit: can you imagine sunset at 10:00.. :shock:

Still waiting for the cam to "kick in"... :popc:

Cam just started!!!

OK...fingers crossed that we will see an adult this morning...these babies need to start making some baby noises!!!

I wonder if these guys are as quiet as they appear..

ljames · **Posted:** Tue Jun 15, 2010 8:47 am

Right, it appears as though they don't even cry. Do they cry for their food in captivity? Hard to be sure , but I can't tell that they have cried at all. Saw a mouth open last night a couple of times, but maybe that was a yawn.

they just seem to be content..watching the world and playing with the left over quail...

That little piece of prey is running out. Then what?

They are gonna feed them again this morning..I do hope a parent gets there first...and I'd also love to know if the people on the ground have seen the parents near the box..

Good morning. I have been watching, but had to get my fledge notices out for Edmonton.

It is to rain today, so not a good day for trying to foster.

They need to cry out.

they will be fed this morning between 8 and 9. I will be at an appointment from 9 til 11:30am

I will have to leave a little sooner.

Gord was appraised by me last night and so they will see what happens today. So not worry about chicks.( I am dong enough for all of us). They are being monitored.

Gord wants to give female a good chance . she has been through a lot, and now no eggs. This is usually done in same place eggs were laid but they have done this before also. I prayed hard last night, but it will be what it will be.

Thanks everyone for watching and helping monitoring. Gord is very appreciative.
