They're Back!

Check the Nature Cam (click on the yellow-brown Nature Cam button at the top of this page - you won't need to watch long during daylight hours as the birds are very active in building the nest)

In the spring of 2001 people from around the world watched our livecam as baby Steller's Jays were born.

This morning a pair of Steller's Jays started building a new nest in the same place as before. The camera was still in place and turned back on

Here's what we saw back in 2001:

Wow, it is nice to finally catch some wildlife on the nature cam. I was never lucky enough to catch anything on camera at the guzzler. It sure is nifty watching the Stellar do it's thing.

Another camera was installed directly above the nest and here's a short video of day 3 - nest building of the Steller's Jays:

(1.7 meg file. If you have problems running video save to your hard disk then run)

Is that when you push on the NatureCam button at the top of this page?

What about when you push the text link at the top of the page for the LiveCam Hwy2?

Those popup windows do require Java to be enabled. I haven't changed the setup on those windows for a long time so it's probably your settings.

The video was awesome!! Looks like Daddy was doing most the building!
Can't wait to watch when the eggs hatch!

Thanks, Wrightwood!

Wow, that's amazing - what a sight!

I'll keep on watching, that's for sure!

Great pictures!

Baby birds, flowers, now let's have some warm....

I have a nest in my yard that had three blue eggs in it about two weeks ago. After seeing this post I went to see them again and they are gone. I hope the cam gets some great pics of life.

Hey WW

Will you be able to record the actual act of the chicks cracking the shells. I would be great for the people that are not avialable at that time.

That is sooooooo precious! How awesome!

Yes. (unless mom is sitting on top of them blocking the view. From past experience the female is constantly turning the eggs and rearranging things so we should have a good show)

The camera signal is being feed into a DVR 24x7 (digital video recorder).

It appears Mom has finally settled into the nest.

Keep watching as eggs shouldn't be far off

Wrightwood · « **Reply #18 on:** May 13, 05, 07:29:24 AM »

How many eggs do you think she'll lay?

Chesslike · « **Reply #19 on:** May 13, 05, 07:31:22 AM »

Put me in the pool for 3 eggs.
