<::: PLEASE READ


We now have TWO nests with eggs.


The TH nest of .. K-81/m & K-82/f .. has TWO eggs .. still to be confirmed/seen.

The WE nest of .. K-01/m & Wray/f .. have THREE eggs.


The adults will be taking turns incubating it and normally during this time, or at a switch, the egg will also be rolled. This is to prevent the developing embryo/chick from sticking to the inside of the shell.

While IWS is interested in the above information, and would be especially interested in knowing if an adult leaves the nest and the egg(s) are uncovered for a while, Dr. Sharpe has indicated in the past that he also wants us to simply enjoy the experience of watching all the happenings on the nests and learn more about these magnificent birds through the wonder of the Nest Cams.

Therefore, please continue to post observations in the usual way, but should you observe a parent switch or notice that the adult is not on the nest, it would be helpful to all of us if the time(s) could also be noted/posted ... along with whatever else you observe happening on the nest at that time.

Times of events/changes on a nest are a great help to those of us who video when we are editing the footage.


Just a few Gentle Reminders about posting on this thread. (Helps to save time when reading through it.)

Please remember that it is the CHANNEL ISLANDS NESTS ONLY...either on or off camera...that we post our observations/comments about.

There are FOUR nests with cameras online...so it is important to know WHICH NEST you are observing.

Please put the Initials at the start of your post...

These nests are all in California...so it's Pacific Time on this coast.

We prefer that the Quote Button is not used on this thread...and if you must use it...because you are referring to something on a previous page...then take TEXT only...never captures or video.

Thanks!

“A request from Dr. Sharpe”

To make it easier for the biologists to see the prey deliveries, please limit the use of the blue fish to prey deliveries only.

Begin your post with the nest initials, followed by the time of delivery & the blue fish.

Thank you!

Linda ... Thanks for finding .. and posting .. that segment in the TH Autorecord .. from last night.

I wondered why K-82 was getting so mad pulling at the branch and wondered if some prey had got stuck there.

K-81's expression was priceless as he checked the branch on his way to the bowl.

I had taken captures ... but took some stills off your video as they were much crisper.
