Just wait another month or so when the Ospreys return. You wouldn't believe how many Osprey fans there are in the Lounge!Hey Jude wrote:If you want to see barn owls nesting with a live webcam then here they are

I am eagerly awaiting a favorite website to have their Osprey return and in the family way! Yes, I think they are interesting to watch!viking33 wrote:Just wait another month or so when the Ospreys return.

I don't believe their cam is working currently.

Re: Barn owl nest cams
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute Osprey Cam has had "funding" problems the last few years. It was on, then off again and again. They couldn't even fund someone to go up and clean the camera lens last year, so who knows what this will bring?Skitterbug wrote:I am eagerly awaiting a favorite website to have their Osprey return and in the family way!

A more reliable and clearer cam is at the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History ( yes, I'm prejudiced, since I work there ) will be at http://www.ccmnh.org" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; when the camera is cleaned up and repositioned in a few weeks. The birds usually return around mid-March.
Watch this space for later news!

Re: Barn owl nest cams
That's a darn shame. I don't know anything about their "funding" but that camera was enjoyed by a number of addicted Loungers...viking33 wrote:Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute Osprey Cam has had "funding" problems the last few years.

Thanks for the nice words! It IS a very nice place to work and to be associated with many very knowledgeable and highly degreed people who give a lot of their time to the museum.
So far as the lens cleaning, it reminds me of two years ago when the Spring setup was being done by an outside installation team out in the marsh. All was just about completed and I was in the IT room checking the monitor, when it was noticed that there was a small smear on the upper corner of the lens. We had radio contact with the team and told the young man of the spot, asking him to clean it off. I guess he wasn't expecting to get a request like that and all he had was his handkerchief to try the cleaning. So here he was with us telling him no, a little more to the right side , etc. His right side was our left side on the monitor, so it took awhile to get that coordinated. This years setup day is thankfully on my day off.

They are out there "doing their thing" with the Cam setup. Shouldn't be long.Hey Jude wrote:"Osprey nest is getting ready for the OspreyCam"....saw it on my facebook pages....

Did you notice the side bar notice of video clips and the rather strange positioning of the listings? ( it didn't really happen the way it sounds )
Items 1 & 3 are OK but the 5th?

I just took a look since you've caught a nice pic of the pair of them. There is one sitting on the roost currently, enjoying the sunshine. The mate is probably fishing! Thanks for the update!
