Close to fledging!

Submitted 9 years 10 months ago by Sharon Hayes.

Submitted 9 years 10 months ago by nusuncinema.

June 5/2014 all of our 5 eggs have hatched. Ma & Pa Kestrels are now working hard to feed the chicks. We now have our Kest 2 nest box live cam running. The live cam is not great but better than nothing.

My Nestcam setup

Submitted 9 years 11 months ago by dziegler.

Hi,

I just wanted to pass on my experience with the nestcam setup I'm using for my nest box. I've gone through several network cameras and this is the best one, for the price, I've used so far.
