Pacific Black Duck (Daisy) on the WBSE nest

A few hours after this I lost the stream when they changed the URL :(

Not looking good for the duck family:

I meant to enhance the sound after the video was complete but forgot - the duck can be heard, as well as the regular intruder birds.

I'm not embedding this, hoping you'll get a nice surprise - the nitty-gritty starts at 30 seconds:

Boreal Ontario... whenevah ;)

New food!

And some lumps of something that the Gray Jay took no time at all to clear!  Delivered @ 11:22, final one taken @ 12:02.

Daisy the Pacific Black Duck's day

I expect she laid another egg but I didn't find the moment, nor did I find any disturbances, she left at her own volition latish afternoon.  In the evening the cam went down and there's still no live stream.

Well, you've done it again. My first smile of the day! Thank you thank you thank you.

What a riot. One real piggy on the end, and the last very prim and careful eater even with a strand of banana on his head.

Middle Spotted Woodpecker with injured left wing - I think this was it, wing not drooping now but not neat like the right wing:

Thanks for capturing this scylla and for the slo-mo too. Maybe it was just a sprain.

Another lovely video. Thank you Scylla
