On 01 March:
scylla said:I popped to Sapsucker Woods (NYC) for a while - how come they have flying squirrels but Ontario does not?
They do now:
The reason I know that is because Tammie has tweeted that she has COVID
So I popped to YouTube to see if the feeder was empty or not, and there was the flying squirrel.
(Tammie is investigating whether she should or could take the new anti-covid drug Paxlovid, but I found contra-indications affecting all 3 (including me) of my very close people.)

I'm not really "doing" Captiva, but this particular cam is a fascinating novelty at the mo.
A little shoal of fish must have attracted these divers - seen distantly on the Captiva PTZ cam, as were several individual Osprey dives.
Later, all sorts of goings-on, with a fish delivery to the nest heard but not seen (you need sound on for Osprey voices):
EDIT - I replaced this video with one including snaps from nest view of fish delivery.

Someone thought that the IR had been switched on, and there have been periods when the nightcam was not pitch black - but I have ascertained - that is, discovered for certain - that it's Luna who's lighting up our nights temporarily - you can't see her here, she didn't take effect until she'd already passed thru:
Yep, reckon the pelicans were diving for fish and OH ! that call from the Osprey, fills a hole in my heart. Thanks Scylly
In reply to Cirrus:
A big digression from our usual fare - BLACK BEAR!
I think it's in a purpose-built den in the wild. She has 2 cubs but, apart from maybe the glint of an extra pair of eyes at one fleeting point, we only see one at a time.
Later, definitely TWO cubs:
I've just seen the 2 cubs being even more active so I've ended the recording and will extract something later, but that will be the end of it.
Sunrise at LG with no spider's web or other obstruction
Captiva started out appropriately - altho Florence's neck wasn't quite what Angus was aiming for:
Manton Bay
The wide cam now - looks like a spider has already created scaffolding for raindrops etc:
A stripey Captiva fish for afternoon tea - he does like to tear them up a bit
Oh I love those Bear cubs oh they are adorable. Looking icy at Manton Bay - hope the cold snap does not hold back the Ospreys from nesting.

Final Black Bear video from me:
The first little birdie I've seen for a-g-e-s:
Oh woe !!!
Last night I set up Glaslyn and LotL on a screen with mini timelines, it took ages and nearly collapsed me (having to do it from a distance)...
Anyway, how out-of-touch was I? I forgot that I need one of the cams to be soundless, otherwise they both record each other's sound - so now I've only got LotL screen-capturing, and guess what?!
My downloader has died, so LotL is the only Osprey nest I'm currently recording... and it's Friday, and my msg to Support is still awaiting spam-checking...
Distraught or wot?

But maybe it has resuscitated itself - no crash for 36 minutes and counting - the jury's out.
You'll have to rename it Lazarus Scylla!! Seriously I don't know how you manage all this tech stuff!
