she didn't sleep there last night, but I saw her working on the nest yesterday.. it's hard to catch any activity. But once the chicks arrive it will be loads of fun.. hopefully it gets that far. I THINK a webcam is in for my mom's day or bday.. keep your fingers crossed! IF I get one, I'll have to figure out how to do streaming video.. Calls HUBBY!!! LOL! Sandra

nest cam anyone?

No nestcams or roosting boxes here, Ann, but the nest cam idea is one I'm hoping to implement on one of my nestboxes this spring. As for roosting, I do know that at least 2 of the 4 boxes I have here at the house are being used by the blues for roosting. In fact, in one of the boxes the female has actually built a small nest--not just pine needles on the floor but an actual nest that's about 4 or 5 inches tall! I removed the last nest at the end of nesting season and she built this one at the end of October/beginning of November. Oh well, whatever it takes to keep them warm. Kathy

Panel-Ready Cabinet Depth Fridge -- Dacor --Any others out there?
Q
Comments (5)
I've been doing the research on several fridges myself for a remodel and have decided on the panel ready KA KFCO22EVBL. Depends on your cabinet maker as to the costs of the individual panels but 18' appliance handles are about $110 each depending also on the finish. I finally found one on display today and it was a decent fridge. Nothing like Subzero, of course, but less than half the price! There,of course, with difference in the hinge of the Subzero that pulls the door out a inch or two to prevent the door from touching or scraping the cabinetry. Nice, but not worth an extra $3000.

I'm not sure if this applies to you but we just finished our kitchen. Originally we had the Kitchen Aid, french door, panel ready frig. When it was installed it stuck out like a sore thumb. The sides of the frig are black and my cabinets are white. The panels add an extra 3/4 of an inch to the already 4 or so inches beyond the cabinets and it did not look built in at all. Buying the panels was a waste of money. My kitchen designer (from the cabinet company) should have explained to me that a cabinet depth will not look built in unless you build the cabinets around it ( which in my case we were not able to do). We were able to swap it out for a Viking built in with panels. The Viking is a top frig, bottom freezer. I love it so much more than the french door cabinet depth. I have not found that the storage is a problem. And the look of it is 100 x better than the cabinet depth looked. I know a lot of people on this forum have cabinet depths that look built in but I think they may have had their cabinets built around it to look that way.

I see her building her nest today. Is this a regular webcam, and how do you hook it up? are there wires from the box? If I got some, I'd love to do this!. thanks for posting this!!

YOUR WELCOME!!
I searched for bluebird nestcams and found this one..here is the link to the website. this has a little more info .. I would have to learn a bunch to figure out how to get one working.. but it would be fun.

Suggestion: I keep the birdcam window up, and just resize all my other computer program windows so I any activity will catch my eye. Every once in a while I have to hit F5 to refresh it.. I've seen her in there this morning. IT seems like most nest building happens in the morning. Hard work I guess, then they need the rest of the day to rest and feed..

Here is a link that might be useful: bluebird webcam webpage

FIRST EGG!! I'm also watching the cardinal nest cam.. wonder how they did THAT? ...3 eggs for her.. one stolen by a cowbird... I'll have to look into providing nesting for cardinals too.. I bet it's tough in bushes and on the ground!

Thank you so much for putting this web cam up. I have really enjoyed watching the mother bird laying her eggs. This is something that we never get to see. I am so excited about watching the eggs turn into blues. I had 5 beautiful eggs that were about to hatch and a HOSP decided that he wanted to rob the nest. I have never had this happen to me. All I could do was cry and hope and pray that I will have babies sometime this year. Good luck with this family!!
