Today, “Boh” & “Barb,游隼栖息在巴尔的摩市中心光明街100号泛美大厦33层的窗台上, welcomed their first egg of the season. Video of the egg being laid is available here. The public may view the peregrine falcon webcam at 118763.chinaqinyu.com/peregrine-falcon-webcam.
十大赌博正规老平台协会于2015年3月首次发射了游隼网络摄像头. In its first year, there were more than one million views. People from around the world had their eyes on these Baltimore City residents. For more than 35 years, 一代又一代的游隼把巴尔的摩内港附近的礁石作为自己的家.
In its first season, Boh and Barb raised three eyases (falcon chicks), Cade, Koppie, and Burnham (Burnsie for short). Fans voted to name the eyases after Tom Cade, Ph. D., founding chairman and director of The Peregrine Fund; Craig Koppie, raptor biologist with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Chesapeake Bay Field Office; and William A. Burnham, former president of The Peregrine Fund. He served with the organization from 1974 through his death in 2006.
2015年最令人难忘的亮点之一是Koppie患上了感冒和脱水，并被与其同名的人暂时赶出了巢穴, Dr. Craig Koppie. 这些幼鹰在野生动物康复中心接受了治疗，很快就被放回了巢穴.
“猎鹰摄像机在十大赌博正规老平台协会的第一季中取得了巨大的成功. With over one million views, many dedicated fans tuned in to see Boh and Barb raise their young eyases,” Dunn said. “巴尔的摩的游隼不会迁徙，因为城市里有充足的食物. We are excited to watch and see what Boh and Barb’s family looks like this year.”
Special thanks to Skyline Technology Solutions, Cogent Communications, Shared Earth Foundation, the City of Baltimore, Transamerica, and 100 Light Street for making the peregrine falcon cam possible.

十大赌博正规老平台协会的2016年鱼鹰拍摄季开始了，一只正在等待配偶的鱼鹰最近回来了. The daily lives of “Tom and Audrey,两只在南美过冬的鱼鹰在肯特岛安家, are shared with the world via this live streaming webcam. 第一只鱼鹰已经回到平台上，开始建造一个新的鸟巢，为这个季节的一窝小鸡做准备.
Now in its fourth season, 十大赌博正规老平台协会的鱼鹰摄像机现在包括了房主安装的红外技术, known as the “Crazy Osprey Family,” that allows users to see what is going on in the nest in total darkness. Infrared light is a wavelength of energy that is invisible to the human eye. 摄像机探测红外能量(热)并将其转换成电子信号, which is then processed to produce a thermal image on the webcam.
The public may view the osprey webcam at 118763.chinaqinyu.com/osprey-cam，并阅读由疯狂鱼鹰家族撰写的有趣的鱼鹰相机博客 http://ospreycamerablog.wordpress.com.
Last year, the nest was fraught with drama. A new Tom, who fans dubbed “Calico Tom,” became Audrey’s new mate. The new couple laid three eggs that did not hatch. However, with the help of U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Raptor Biologist, Craig Koppie, Tom and Audrey successfully adopted two foster chicks, which fans voted to name Maine and Montana. Later in the season, a visiting juvenile osprey, aptly named E.T., became a regular part of the nest.
“Tom & 奥黛丽极大地帮助了人们关注十大赌博正规老平台协会的使命以及我们保护和恢复切萨皮克湾流域健康的工作. 去年，来自世界各地的100多万人访问了我们的网络摄像头。. “We couldn’t ask for better ambassadors than Tom & 奥黛丽鼓励人们走出去，沿着约翰·史密斯船长切萨皮克国家历史步道体验野生动物. 人们可以在切萨皮克的一些特殊地方看到这些标志性的鸟类，比如 Mallows Bay or the Middle Branch in Baltimore.”
The Chesapeake Conservancy extends our special thanks to Skyline Technology Solutions for managing the video stream and installing and setting up the camera, Investigative Options Inc. for maintaining the camera, the Shared Earth Foundation for its financial support, “疯狂鱼鹰”家族慷慨地提供平台和设备，并撰写博客.

Recently, 一位房主联系了十大赌博正规老平台协会，邀请该组织设置一个直播的网络摄像头，展示这个栖息地. For the last 10 years, each spring, the property has been home to 10-12 great blue heron nests nestled in a relatively small loblolly pine grove. Once the large blue eggs hatch, this rookery contains roughly 50 great blue heron at a time.
“We can share the wonder of these majestic birds live on your screen 24-hours-a-day, complete with infrared camera technology so that you can also see the herons in the dark,” Chesapeake Conservancy Director of Communications Jody Hedeman Couser said. “But we need your help to make it a reality. For a small donation, you can help the Chesapeake Conservancy purchase the equipment, 付费服务，设置网络摄像头，向全世界广播栖息地.”
十大赌博正规老平台协会正在通过在线筹款网站“Go Fund Me”为这款新摄像头寻求资金. 到目前为止，十大赌博正规老平台协会已经筹集了近5500美元，而目标是1万美元. To donate to help fund the Great Blue Heron Rookery Cam, visit www.gofundme.com/6cru5qxg

Additional Background: Peregrines
Found on every continent except Antarctica, peregrine falcons (Falco peregrinus)是最著名的保护成功案例之一，被认为是世界上跑得最快的鸟, traveling up to 200 mph during hunts. 这些神奇的鸟类已经从北美东部几乎灭绝的情况下恢复过来, now making many large cities and coastal areas their homes.
Additional Background: Osprey
Found on every continent except Antarctica, osprey (Pandion haliaetus) are one of the Chesapeake’s most amazing birds for a number of reasons. They migrate thousands of miles each year to and from Central and South America, mate for life, and return to the same spot year after year, despite spending the winter apart from each other.
Additional Background: Great Blue Heron
According to the Chesapeake Bay Program’s website, great blue herons (Ardea herodias) live in colonies called rookeries. 这些高大的，蓝灰色的涉禽有长而尖的喙和优雅的s形脖子. 它们全年生活在切萨皮克湾地区的沼泽和湿地中，也生活在淡水湖上, ponds and impoundments. The great blue heron grows to 4 feet tall with a 6 to 7 foot wingspan. Despite its large size, its hollow bones allow it to weigh only 5 to 6 pounds. The great blue heron eats mostly fish, but will also feed on insects, amphibians, crustaceans and other small animals. It silently stalks its prey in shallow waters, and then plunges its bill into the water to capture it. It will spend about 90 percent of its waking hours hunting for food.
