Some video capture hardware turned-out to have stopped working in the two years since the last nesting, but after some pulling of hair, swapping of hardware, and editing of web pages, Chris’ Eastern Screech Owl Nest Box Cam’ is live again.
What with surgery and an unknown recovery period starting tomorrow, I can’t say there’ll be regular status reports, or daily image round-ups, but the video will be live. (If one frame per minute counts as “live”.)
Enjoy.

Many thanks. It is as live as it is going to be. We will think of you intently the next days and look forward to your next post.
ReplyDeleteWoohoo!!!! I really missed it the last couple of years! Thanks for your hard work - there are definately those of us out here in cyberspace that appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you, thank you! Best wishes for your speedy recovery, the California crew is thinking good healing thoughts for you! We are so happy to have "our" owl cam back again. Many have imitated, few have duplicated....
ReplyDeleteWish you a speedy recovery. Thanks for all the detail on this site. I have had a great time following the owls with my 5 yr old son. To date, we have built and placed two owl boxes around our home based on your inspiration! And I see that we have a sleeping owl in the box today!!
ReplyDeleteThis makes me so happy I can hardly stand it.
ReplyDeleteI hope the recovery is going well so far!!! Take care of yourself.
Dear Chris, either your surgery and recovery are not so difficult as imagined and you are able to post these comments yourself (as well as two comments on your owl site!), for which we are all grateful, or you have given someone else the "keys to the city". I sincerely hope it is the former. I send you strengthening thoughts and a postcard should be not to hard to scare up...
ReplyDeleteI'm very excited the box is up and running again! This site has given me and many of my fifth graders joy!
ReplyDeleteGreats news about your knee and love the lady owl in the box. It will be a great year! Other good news is that everyone will have health insurance. So excited!
ReplyDeleteMore knee news, since Susan brought it up: To my surprise the real post-surgical pain waited until Sunday to kick in. That was a whole lot of no fun, even with the help of good pain pills. Things are less bad today, but it's still early (for me).
ReplyDeleteGlad to see the owls are cooperating this year. Hope you have a complete and speedy recovery, and take it easy! Us "old" guys (I still have my old 5.25 FDD and that brick 20MB harddrive) have to be careful.
ReplyDeleteSurgery recoveries are never fun, but at least you're up and mobile. Thanks from Indianapolis for getting the camera/box up and operational (no pun intended) again. We need to get Mme. Owl to move that stuff off the camera so we can see her better!
ReplyDeleteYour "meet the innards" section shows an overhead camera that I'm assuming you use to count the eggs when she's away from the nest. Is there any possibility we might get to see some of those overhead shots some day? It would be a nice view.
