February Approaches

Well, I see that many people are using the www.briloon.ning.com site. We've had many observations of eagles at the nest over the past week, including some courtship behaviors. It is exciting to see activity at the nest increasing as we await another winter storm and the arrival of February.

Nest Site noise

Hi all,
Thanks for all the posts and information about sounds that the microphone is picking up. I appreciate people's concern for the nest site and am sorry to hear about any unexpected, inappropriate language. The microphone is quite sensitive and does pick up audible sound from a distance of several hundred yards. That said, although I have not visited the site recently, I am not aware of any building projects in the area. Fortunately, I am planning a visit to the nest site to replace the IR light. At that time I hope to find out more about our background noise and will report back.
All the Best,

2009!

Hello All,
Just a quick note to make sure that our time stamp is accurate as I see that my last post seemed to carry an errant date.
Also, I am excited to update bloggers that we are working toward the release of a second--yes second--eaglecam. This has been in the works for some time and we anticipate a cam release during early February. So far the images are looking great!
We also anticipate the release of a Peregrine Falcon camera at about the same time. Without doubt I will keep you posted and cross your fingers for our next endeavors.
All the Best,
Patrick Keenan
