Harrison Mills Observations

This is a place to keep notes about what's happening at White Rock, Delta 2, Harrison Mills and Lafarge while we wait for the Hancock Wildlife site to be back on line.

Hi Bev and all - in on the NPTZ Exciting morning - Haven't had time to look at the vids, Judy, but the scaps are great! And thanks for all the reports this morning Bev, Judy, Michelle, Dan, Sue, Marg and I hope I didn't miss anyone.

Add: Tried your temp cams Judy as WE down - no luck, so I'll just hang around on the NPTZ and report what I see here.... :)

Thanks, Bev and Yolande - I'll send an email to Ken and to Peter at WildEarth - am guessing Ken needs to restart the computer at HM remotely, but am not sure about that. With luck it should be a fairly peaceful time, as the tiny one eats and sleeps. :love:

Mom quietly screeping - windy and getting gusty at the nest. Just reading through all your posts and that's something this chick is really good at already - eating!

AND I just lost the NPTZ - will try to bring it up again....

1:52pm The NPTZ is not coming up - will keep trying - maybe a re-boot is in progress?

1:57pm Still no NPTZ - tried the SPTZ - same....anyone else having this problem?

I can get to the cam control page - but no active video screen

I hope so, Yolande, but I think North went down before I clicked Send, so I'm guessing it's an issue in the area. I checked the power outages map and nothing is showing, but it takes a little while for that to update. And it's definitely windy enough that a branch could have come down on a power line somewhere in the area.

I'm in North - and cam is moving, I think independently of what I'm doing - are you in again?

It zoomed way in, and I've pulled it back again.

The viewing window was slow opening for me, but I'm seeing the nest - caught tail end of another feeding.

Maybe reboot your computer, if you're where you can do that.

Cam was moving, so I'm out - can't do more than a quick check while I'm at work unless it's urgent.

Mom is just settling herself on the chick and egg and pulling some moss in closer - too bad, I think I missed the chick while the cam was down...but I'm sure we'll get to see it again soon :)

2:12pm Just zoomed in on the duck and it looks like Mom has eaten more of it - a lot of the head is gone...

Excellent, Yolande! I am out again.

I'm still not having any luck with the embedded cams, but I know when I rebooted the cams at Delta 3, it took a while for the embedded version to know it was back - so keeping fingers crossed. And I did send a note to Ken and Peter about that.

Time for me to head for home - will check in again once I get there and feed the cats. :cat:


Added -
There was a feeding winding down while I was on the NPTZ - no notes or s'caps because I was focused on the cam and typing. It does seem that the tiny one is getting lots of little meals today, so I suspect there will be another one very soon. :love:

Looking in the nest for the fish - gone, but there is still quite a lot of mangled duck there...

Mom on the egg and chick and looking around...screeping softly...I didn't hear an answer from Dad, but he usually just shows up quietly....

2:23pm Mom now calling more insistently! And peering around very intently...

2:29pm Mom still peering around and throwing her head back to call very loudly....
