With permission from Norm, I am posting the following message/link from our
neighbor,  the Delaware Ornithological Society.  Given the white-out
conditions predicted, armchair birding may be our best hope for the
weekend.  Link onto the webcam site, add it to your 'favorites list' and
enjoy.

From DOS Conservation Chair, Bill Stewart
Good morning,
The much anticipated Wilmington Peregrine Falcon Webcam live stream is
currently available for your viewing at Wilmington Peregrine Falcon Webcam |
Delmarva Ornithological Society  www.DOSBirds.org <http://www.dosbirds.org/>.

The project was only made possible through a unique partnership with DOS,
DuPont's Clear into the Future Initiative, the USFWS and DNREC.  Eighteen
months in the making, the project hopes to provide a window into this
magnificent bird's life in Wilmington.  The live stream will be visible 24/7
through July 31st.  During this time, viewers should be able to witness
courtship, egg laying, hatchlings and fledglings learning to fly and hunt.
Another important goal of the project is to heighten awareness to the casual
observer of the extremely delicate balance between the Delaware Estuary and
the life it supports.  In the upcoming weeks, the live stream will also be
viewable at the DuPont's Clear into the Future and DNREC's websites.  A
sister site filled with Peregrine Falcon facts, blog and daily reports will
launch soon.
During the month of February, the falcons make very infrequent visits to the
nestbox, if fact, this morning was the first full view of a falcon this
week.  I am suspecting they will use the box as a roast during the expected
snowstorm, hence, the reason for this somewhat premature posting.

efforts, click here
