I like seeing so many different birds with this cam.

Finn, we had a local guy that has seen 8,070 birds (traveled everywhere). Have you kept any kind of record as to how many birds you have seen? Would be great thing to be able to do (IMO).

Thanks,
F22

F22:  8,070 birds! Good grief what a log book he must have!

I haven't kept a log of all the birds on the Mississippi Flyway camera.  There is a person in the explore cam's chat who has posted an extensive list. I asked if s/he could provide the information in this RRP thread but s/he said she was too busy.  I know the large migrating birds I have seen because that is my particular interest in watching the camera.  I'll get my Sibley's out and see what I can come up when the camera comes back on with the smaller birds and waterfowl but don't bet the farm on my identifications--lol.

Just checked the cam and it appears to live.  The sun has been out since about 2:00 p.m. so let's hope that is enough time to keep the cam going for a little while.

All hail RRP and the crew out on the camera spit repairing things!!  Figure John Howe and maybe Amy are out there, and I can't thank them enough.  Hopefully Finn's right and we're back in business on the flyway!!!   8) :D ;) :D :D

Rats! I cut away from the crane right about the time the beaver showed up. But this I just had to see, so I rewound. Great job by the cam op! What a sight! ;D

Anyone else notice this? I've lost the ability the preview the screen when I hover my cursor on/above/below the red, time line. (Hovering will still show the elapsed time.) Very useful feature for scanning past events I missed or might want to rewind to watch or take screenshots. Applies to both of the Decorah eagle and Mississippi flyway cams. Am I doing something wrong? Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thanks in advance.

Yep!  I've lost the screening ability too, T40.  And thanks for the caps of the beaver!  Looks like we'll have to note the time of our sightings now if we want anybirdy else to see them.....unless, hopefully, it's only a temporary condition when we look back in the future!   :o :o :o :o

I checked several other cams on Explore and same problem on all of them, so my guess is that it's a YouTube issue.
