Solved Live Bald Eagle Nest Cam

[Anak]

Here's a compilation of the last three days.....

Most mornings start out now with only the chicks as the parents have already left by Sunrise to hunt.


Back after catching a rabbit and preparing it by removing the fur.


Left after feeding to search for more food.


I've noticed the one foreground chick has started to wander the nest and has learned to feed itself. While one parent was keeping an "eagle eye" on something flying around the perimeter of the nesting site.


Parent left for more hunting and the chick checking out the boarders of the nest, its a long way down.

They are really growing very fast. I wonder whether they already pick in the fish by themselves. Looks like all the supplies are gone.

 

[Anak]

Yes they are.

That chick in my last two pix's looks like its ready to eat on its own, and I have seen it pick at several deposits. In my last post do you see in the third pix down where the rabbit is laying? In the next pix (4th down) the rabbit is covered with nesting material, but the chick is working the rabbit carcass underneath.

I wish I could save the action video and post it here, there is probably a way, but I haven't found it yet. In the fifth pix the chick is done for awhile and took a look over the side of the nest to see how far she could go but thought, maybe I shouldn't.

That's what I mean, I can leave stills of interesting moments, but it's better if one watches for awhile to see the interaction of the family.

The supplies/groceries are a feast or famine situation, from what I've seen there's food underneath some of the bedding for the nest, I wouldn't munch on it, but eagles are known to eat carrion.

This is a fresh kill about an hour ago, 4pm edt:

Very nice. Thanks for the update. Can't you capture the video.

 

[Anak]

I'm not sure how to go about it with HDOnTap

 

[whs]

I made a first attempt for a brief capture. Unfortunately there was not a lot of action at that moment. I will try to attach the zip. See whether you can play it. I think I can do better but that is only a first attempt.

 

[whs]

This time I got some action.

 

[Layback Bear]

Thanks Wolfgang. I will be watching for a while.

Dang but the little ones are growing fast!

 

[whs]

Now the chicks are fed and need a snooze. But look at the size of their feet.

 

[whs]

Now the parents are feeding;

Wolfgang, I realize I'd have to start a youtube account because I don't have one, but what are you using for capture is it Windows or third-party, and what about copyrights?

I looked over the youtube (YT) page while creating this post and saw that I already have an account or I believe YT calls it a "channel" because I use gmail. It's more complicated than I want to get into this morning but I'll get it setup.
It would be easier than posting all these pix's, I've been wondering how John (z3r) feels about me loading up this thread with 70 or so .png pix's that so far equal around 112 MB.

For recording I suggest you use the Microsoft Expression Recorder 4. This is an excellent recorder and now for free (used to cost $199). It used to be only free for 10 minute recordings but now you can record for as long as you want.

A long time ago I had made this tutorial that explains it. The encoding phase may be a bit long if you have a modest CPU. But on an i7, it is no problem.

I also use Camtasia (the first recording was made with it) but there is a problem with the black frames that I have to fix. Another excellent recording program I have is WMCapture. It is cheap, has a free trial and does better than the other two with modest CPUs.

I don't really know what the copyright implications are. But since this is a live display, we don't really copy from a file where the copyright could apply.

The YouTube thing is pretty straight forward. I also use Vimeo which is just as good. The publication of the videos is slower though - unless you have a Pro account.

This one is indeed interesting looking,
Did I read this correctly you can install this program on a flash drive and use it on another pc :shock:

 

[whs]

There may be a portable version. But where did you read that ?

 

[ThrashZone]

Actually I heard it on the video on the site,
Screen Video Capture Software, Highest Quality: WM Capture
Towards the end.

 

[whs]

Yeah right, sure sounds like it. I have never tried that.

 

[ThrashZone]

Try it out on your lowest system spec's pc
I'd be interested in something like that laptop is the lowest spec's one I have
Gateway M-7350U home premium 32 bit
3 gb ram

 

[whs]

I used WMCapture on a 2008 HP with an AMD 4800+ (a 2.4GHz duo core) and 3GB of RAM. It worked perfectly there.

 

[ThrashZone]

Thanks that's pretty close I guess mine is 1.16 and .17 I believe ghz :/
Wonder if 64 bit to 32 bit would make a difference there
Either way that's pretty cool
40.us or 80.us :/
A lot of features in that there item
