Unsettled weather for the Brandon area but it won't bother Hurricane, Brooklyn or their eggs ...

Today - Cloudy. 30 percent chance of showers late this afternoon with risk of a thunderstorm. Wind northeast 20 km/h gusting to 40. High 25. UV index 4 or moderate.  Tonight - Cloudy. 30 percent chance of showers early this evening. A few showers beginning this evening. Risk of a thunderstorm this evening and overnight. Wind northeast 20 km/h gusting to 40. Low 13.

And as of Friday, the eggs hadn't started hatching yet and no pips or the like were reported.

Hi Tracy, any word why you no longer have an internet connection?  

Westman Communications has sold part of its services to another provider and one of those services was based out of the McKenzie Seeds building.  My understanding of the situation is that since the Falcon Cam only needs an internet connection for a couple of months a year, it was decided that the cost of providing that service for such a short a period of time wasn't a good value economically.  We heard about their decision late in the day Wednesday and found out the details on Thursday.  We have started to explore whether there is another provider in the area (there are a couple) who might be interested in partnering with us and with CBC but we have no idea what the future (short-term or long-term) will be for the McKenzie Seeds camera.

There is no doubt that you are in overdrive to do what you can for all. Whatever you can do, you WILL do.  :-* RCF and Rose will, without a doubt, be our eyes and communication, in addition to you. Thank you so much.  :-*

News about the McKenzie Seeds Cam ...

We have all the equipment and were about to head out to Brandon when we found out that we no longer have an internet connection, so we had to cancel our trip and we are looking to see what if any options we have available to us.

I don't know if we will find a solution in the next week, I don't know if we will even find a solution for this nesting season.  It may be that this year will be old school - peaking and counting the days. 

We will keep working on replacing our internet connection though and keep everyone informed on how we are doing.

Lovely shot, RCF!

What a great view of Hurricane's barred and speckled chest.
