The live feed camera has been off for several days here at the Marshall MO turkey vulture barn.  Anyone know why?

Turkey Vulture Nest - Marshall Mo   Any activity this year 2025?  Seems like it should be egg laying time?

Sure miss the old barn and the sound of feet on the wood floor!

Good news!  The live stream is operational at the Marshall, MO, Turkey Vulture barn.  Better news, the adult pair is incubating 2 eggs, and all looks well.

Most of the cam views are in black and white because of low light conditions in the barn loft.  Sometimes color when the view is out the loft entrance-exit, as in pic.

The adults look the same, and both care for the eggs and chicks. 

No dates available when the eggs were laid this month, but similar to 2024.  Updates, anyone?

GO MO TVs !    ;D

Black and white viewing seems to show more detail.  In the color version, the bird and shadows blend together.

Clarinda, thanks for checking on the MO turkey vulture nest.  It has been offline for several days again.  Back up live this morning, and the eggs seem to be OK.

I love checking in on this MOTV camera here every year.

These doting Turkey Vultures are like clock work at this location here in MO. I remember the early camera years here too.  :)

Bob Anderson with cameras and all of the stuff that goes along with that on a road trip to Marshall Missouri in 2011/2012 I believe.   8) 

It's very drama free and Zen like here in Chucks old horse barn loft on the back 40.   ;)

I ripped down a rabbit hole of history and other information about this Turkey Vulture nest and RRP's camera here.

And it's really cool.   8)
