Gremlins, gremlins - they hide in the corners and can strike any time, LOL.

Or he was holding his mouth wrong.

I'm thinking that John and or Shawn chased the gremlins off. All I did was shut down my computers and go to sleep for hours and get back up.
The sleep method has never fixed a computer for me before.

Let it be known.

I have changed nothing and the videos work now.

Good job Jack Best way to have problems fixed

My solution(s) were a bit more complicated, but mine are also back.

I started last night by running Firefox (FF) in safe mode thinking that an add-on was causing the problem, but I had the same result, "black screen - An error occurred". Then on a hunch I disabled flash and Derek's video ran, but IE10 still didn't.

I had seen LaybackBear's (LB) post were his came back after hibernating over night and I re-enabled flash and the video was still working, but IE10 still didn't.
After looking through my IE10 settings, I saw that active-x filtering was turned on so, I turned it off and the video ran.

I believe the FF problem was related to youtube's servers being down, a belief I posted over on jumanji's thread. Seems Downdetector was showing youtube was having problems since March 5th, and the IE10 fix is self-explanatory.

I'm still wondering why the video worked after disabling flash on FF while youtube was still having problems, and why everyone else was able to see the video while LB and I couldn't. I'd of loved to have found the active-x switch during this troubleshooting.


EDIT:
There's been an update to jumanji's thread by z3r.

The sleep method worked for me too.

I think I will go to sleep hereafter whenever there is a problem. And let z3r do the rest

EDIT: Thanks Anak, I saw the update by z3r only after seeing your post here as redirected.. I had gone to sleep.

I'm trying to figure out the orientation of the nest from the camera, map and the Sun angle shadows.

• The picture was taken at 1pm edt. The Sun was 173.17°South at an altitude of 46.4°, Solar Noon was 1:17 PM (46.5°)

• The parent Eagle is facing into the Sun which should be due South (180°) or slightly Southeast (173.17°).

• I don't have a formula to figure this out, but I believe the livecam is looking North/Northwest (353.17°).

   Information

The first egg of 2015 appeared on Valentine’s Day, February 14 at 5:55 pm. A second egg was laid three days later on February 17 at 4:44 pm. With roughly 35 days of incubation, we’ll be on #eggwatch beginning March 21. We expect any fledglings to have left the nest by late-June or early July.

Notice in the pix an hour later how the shadows have moved and how the Eagle has built up the softer fluff around her.


I can verify that there are still two eggs underneath her.

Caught some behaviour at 7:05am edt (11:05UTC) 03-15-15.

While watching at 7am this morning I saw the Eagle look over its shoulder, rise up, and fly away to the right of the large trunk in the background then down towards the gray house. No more than 3seconds later this one flew onto the nest inspected the two eggs and laid down on top of them.

Notice the gray object on the outer rim of the nest at the 7-O'Clock position. That is a bird that one of the Eagles had caught and has laid there the last two days.

Really can't tell the Eagles apart so, you'll notice my general terminology in the use of gender and pronouns, but this one has a white blotch on its middle/left breast.

 

[Layback Bear]

Thank you Steve for the great pictures. Please keep us informed.

Why is it so important to know the exact direction of things N., N.E. ect?

 

[Anak]

My pleasure Jack.

Important? It's more of a habit I have, and I tend to pass it along.

When I was a young lad and prone to wandering about the neighborhood and being a river rat I would spend hours exploring and I would use the Sun angle and shadows to tell the time of day and which way was home, if I didn't make it home on time I always caught heck for being late for supper. Later on in life it has helped when hunting or fishing.
I have always had a love for orienteering, but I'm afraid it is becoming a lost art much like the use of pi.

Think back, weren't you the least bit curious which way was home on those rare occasions when you were allowed up on deck for a break?

That skill helped me as an 11 year old boy when my mother and I were struggling in the woods trying to cross the border in 1948 from the Russian sector of Germany to the British sector. That border was heavily guarded by Russian soldiers.

My mother had no idea where we were but I figured it out with the help of the sun and the weather sides of the trees - especially beech (which points West in Germany). We made it to West Germany and I only returned 51 years later.

No kidding. We would love to hear more, Wolfgang!

 

[whs]

Yeah, I could tell you a lot of war and after war stories. Like when we kids found tons of munitions in the forest that the German soldiers had left and we played with hand grenades and machine gun belts. But then I was only 8 years old.

Or when the German attillery shot the roof off our house because the American tanks were parked in front of the house and they wanted to hit them. In the process one of my friends was killed.

Wars and the times thereafter are no fun. Too much misery for the common people. Give a sword to every warmonger politician and let them fight it out.

...Give a sword to every warmonger politician and let them fight it out.

I totally agree! Thank you very much!

Finally have a picture of both.....

From about 7:03pm edt (23:03 UTC)



Shortly after the one left:



There's still two eggs, but the hatch time is getting close.

Here's a better view after she fluffed up the nest:

Very nice. Beautiful birds. Too bad they have all that snow.

 

[Layback Bear]

Did you ever wonder why birds feet don't seem to be effected by cold.

Thanks Bill. I no longer wonder. My feet could use the system birds have.
