Bird Cams Around the World

Hi ljames. Yep, the visitor is the one closest to the cam.

Durand left at 1:23 and the visitor followed after her. This pair is so comfortable together, almost serene.

Here's a video of the visitor with a good close-up for wing tail comparison. Thank you for that good tip Susan!



EDIT: I notice at arrival, the visitor picks at some pigeon head crumbs from yesterday.

Wow, I loved that video!

I am fairly convinced this visitor isn't Trooper. a) bigger in size; b) slightly different coloring and c) different behavior. This new visitor loves to peck at the camera on the ledge and it cracks me up every time.

As for male/female...if it's a male, it's probably the biggest one I've seen. The wing tips do look like they extend past the tail feathers though. It's a puzzler!

Nice to meet you OhioWatcher12!

Thanks for the video, Mick! I did make note of the wings to tail feather proportion, & this one's wings are shorter than the tail feathers, which would typically make it a female.

About 10 mins ago,

Visitor arrived, left seconds later.



Durand hauls prey to ledge, leaves but returns and walks to cam. She out of site next to cam right now. Prey is over by the back wall.




Edit : The visitor then arrives to consume D's prey. She is still off-cam. Visitor just left. @ 3:03

Here is the bit, after Durand brought the unconsumed prey and walks over to cam. This is before the visitor arrives and consumes her "gift?".

(Edited to replace pBucket video with YouTube version)




Note to Carly; please correct me if I got any of the Canadian info on the YouTube description wrong

And, finally, this is a stacked screenshot for size comparison. Visitor is at the top and Durand is at the bottom.



Lunchbreak over gotta go

Thanks for the pictures and videos today guys! That other falcon is HUGE!

I notice how they hang out together on the ledge. I don't think I have seen that before since I have been watching the cams.

Thanks for the nice videos today. This falcon is interesting, how smart you are catwoman to know that wing to tail feathers thing.

I see them hang out but not go in the box together.


Hi OhioWatcher12.

Finally got the cam up just in time to see a really big bird fly from left to right and up toward the other ledge. It really looked too big to be a falcon, but I guess it was. Just a few minutes before I could see someone's tail sticking out from the other ledge.

Thanks for the welcome everybody. It was a little surprising at first. I check this site at least once a day and I feel as though I already knew you all, LOL. I am an avid eagle watcher, but when I saw this site I fell in love with these falcons. I grew up a couple of hours from Columbus which makes this even more fun.

Looks like the visitors feet are a little smaller than Durands? Does that mean anything?

OMG, what big feet Durand has.

Ok catwoman. What amazing info we pick up on these falcons. Thanks SusanE.

Holy Moly I didn't realize they were that big
You really grow them big up there carly

WOW...genius idea, Susan...well, either Durand has really big feet...or her feet are normal size and the mystery falcon has small feet...

I'm sitting here laughing hysterically...if an outsider just happened to stumble across this forum for the first time, and read our posts from the past several days...well, you get the picture...wing tips, tails, feet, growing em big in Canada....
