I decided to put the links to all the 2009 season You Tube videos in a separate thread. I think I'll keep them on the first page and just update it every time I add a video. So here goes:

First two videos of the nest and tower on 3/5/09
  View of KJRH nest, with close-up, and view of surrounding area
  Panorama of KJRH nest tower and immediate vicinity
  Nest grand tour, with close-up of nest material and construction, and great, dizzying
    scan of the surrounding area.

Note: I'll post these links in chronological order, so just scan to the bottom of this post
          for the latest video. You can also go to my You Tube channel and see them all
          there.

"Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one" –– A. J. Liebling

This is an outstanding resource, bobdmac.  This thread is such a boon here!  Thank you so much!  Wonderful video clips... all !!!!  And to have it organized all on one thread is such a help.  We don't have to try to remember on which day, we saw who do what... etc.  This is just great!!!

Positively BRILLIANT idea!

Thank you Bobdmac this is wonderful. Stills are great with narrative to fill in but the videos tell the whole story!!

Yesterday is history
Tomorrow a mystery
Today is a gift

New videos are uploaded for 3/06, but I haven't put up the links yet. I have to sort out the chronology. If you click on my name on one of the You Tube videos, it'll bring them all up.

bobdmac, you put a lot of hard work into those, and well worth it !!! I just watched your new ones from today (3/6/09), though you've yet to put up the links for them. My favorite is "Jay Crashes the Party".

Excellent work, my friend! Bravo!

Mine, too. It's Jay in a rare oafish moment. He's usually so graceful and adept that I had to laugh at this episode. Not only does he land on top of Kay, he then shoulders her out of the nest and basically sends her packing.

"Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one" –– A. J. Liebling

There is one poignant, awkward moment when the two of them, simultaneously look at the camera and then away... As if to say, "Oh my gawd... They didn't actually tape that, did they?!?... I think I'm just going to crawl under a piece of bark..."

Video links updated,
