MpMom, yay!  the cam is working and you found someone home!  Thanks!    Do you think that is just "stuff" on the beak near the right nare?  The focus didn't seem great, but it looks like something on the right side of the upper beak - maybe just some smudged leftovers.

An updated was posted on Monday by John from Arconic -
"Below is a tracking map from Star's travel today. It appears she made a very brief stop at the nest today before crossing the river and heading over to the Rock River in Moline, Illinois. I have attached a zoom in showing the one point stop she made near the nest. It is clear she has found her way home. It will be interesting to see if she makes any additional stops back at her fledge nest in the coming days and weeks."

This is Saturday


This is Sunday


This is Monday


Zoom in to nest area on Monday


John also reported that the IR lamp has failed - they are going to attempt to buy a new one and replace it if it arrives before the first egg.  They are also having issues with the sound - they have it at the on site computer, but it will not stream.  They are going to bring in a tech to investigate.
This nest usually has first egg in Mid to late Feb - usually within a week of Decorah.

Thank you Oldguy! Sorry I missed Star, cam wouldn't work for me. I was trying!

There has been no updated info from John at Arconic since Feb 1.  The cam has been having streaming issues,  that are affecting sound and picture.  If you are lucky, you may get a still picture when opening the site, but it then goes black.  I was lucky today and got this screen shot before it stopped.

The cams are working this morning and either L or J is on watch.

Got an update on the maps last night.  Sky has remained in the same area east of St. Louis in the region of Carlyle Reservoir.  Star has continued to head south into Illinois - was about 15 miles SE of Galesburg.  This puts Star and Sky about 160 miles apart.

The nest appears to be close to ready, with L & J spending more time in or near the nest.  Sometime this week for first egg is within the historical time line.  So it is getting close.

Great news MPmom
I can't get the stream to play at this time, but saw a clip that was posted on the chat.  Decorah should be soon.

They have announced that the second egg has arrived this afternoon.  Some chatters were able to see both eggs this afternoon.

New reports for Sky and Star show they are still in the same area as last report.

Mom got up to roll the eggs - the light does not illuminate the bottom of the nest - so was unable to see the eggs.

Morning Oldguy!
I heard about the 2nd egg. To bad we can't see them. I love your pics!!!!

[oldguy]

Reports from viewers is that egg three was laid last night. - problem is that the bole is so deep, that even without J or L on the nest - you can not see any eggs.  Unless L & J do some renovations to the nest bole - we may not see anything until after hatch and they grow big enough to be seen over the side rails. 

John reported that the synchronization problems between cam views is with the poor connection quality with Mediacom.

Sound issues is an ongoing problem with hardware.

3 egglets Thank you Oldguy!!!
They will be grown when we see them
