December 17

good morning!

7:04 the camera started.

it's a quiet and grey morning. all branches including the branch right on the left side of the camera is frosted, and there some frost on the lens, too.
8:28:18 sound of big wings flying by.

13:35 Hubby saw a squirrel on the nest. also Barbara Roz wrote down an observation of this in the YT chat. :thumbs:
the squirrel climbed to the right branches already at 13:27:50. mostly the squirrel worked on the branches around the nest. she was still wearing the red summer costume. maybe she will not even change it? soon it will be too late. :mrgreen:
13:39 the squirrel went down in the back of the nest.

13:43 the squirrel was still or again there, rustling...
13:45:23 she was somewhere above the camera and dropped snow. :rolleyes:
13:47 more snow dropped from above for a long time. that was very beautiful, like a rain of stardust. :innocent:


13:51:30 more snow dropped from above the camera...
13:52:24 the squirrel was on the top opposite the camera, behind the poop branch this time.
13:56 the squirrel went down.

17:53:36 the camera turned off. that's 2 s later than yesterday and 2 s earlier than 2 days ago.
three days ago the time was 17:53:45. the length of the day is not changing (practically) any more.

i think was our old friend the pygmy owl. :laugh:
Yes, autumn song of Pygmy Owl. It's rather strange, that it's singing in the middle of December. Usually owls are silent at that season

good morning!

7:06 the camera started.

thank you vainamoinen! :thumbs:
our pygmy owl is a keen singer. he sang also in the morning of Dec 14 when the weather was clear. he likes clear mornings and evenings. :innocent:
(i usually recognize his call but this time the call sounded a little stranger.)

the sky is clear so we might hear the pygmy owl again.
... no pygmy owls this morning but mega2 found a tawny owl calling at 7:11. well spotted mega2! :thumbs:


- pygmy owls don't call in the dark and tawny owls call only in dark (usually):

9:05:15 a raven talked a few times. then a raven flew to the top branch.
9:05:44 a bird flew by high in the sky from left to right (9:05:49 was visible in top right corner).
the raven flew away after the bird. that was probably another raven.


the Sun is rising. :rolleyes:

12:06:56 someone landed on the top.then some snow dropped from the top.
after that the light changed so nicely that i made a bit longer clip. :rolleyes:


... someone is driving a car at the racing track again. :rant:

12:15 i haven't seen or heard anyone leaving yet.
(i need to do other things now)

12:10:38 there was a soft rustle. maybe the bird flew away then? if not then i wasn't able to find the departure.

14:51 a little bird was working nearby... rustling under the nest. the bird didn't come out/up and made too few voices to tell who she was, only a few ti - ti - ti.

well who is this Bella? :laugh:
a second winter girl i think. no rings.
Image

she had thick ankles, and still dark eyes and a fairly dark beak.
... or is it a boy?? :puzzled:
mega2 has made many pictures showing the ankles much better. it seems to be a boy after all. :laugh:

11:05:46 she arrived.
11:09 she flew away. - she didn't seem to notice the camera at all.


the camera time seems to be more than 3 and half minutes late. :slap:

December 20

good morning!

7:06 the camera started.
the wind is hard. there has been a crackling sound... maybe it's icy rain? or ice-covered sticks rubbing against each other. :puzzled:
there's perhaps a little less snow on the nest compared to yesterday.

8:25 a raindrop hit the lens. it's raining water.

12:05:14 calls which could be an eagle but i'm inclined to guess it was a fake eagle after all: a jay.


i think that an eagle would call in a more determined way, even in rain. - it has been raining all morning.
mega2 observed this call. thank you mega2! :thumbs:
