Unfortunately, the persistent cloudy weather has prevented the solar-powered webcam batteries from charging. As a result, aside from a brief period this morning, the camera has not been streaming, and we’re unable to determine what’s happening. The short glimpse we did catch showed two Ospreys on the nest (see photo), which I believe were Annie and the banded male. Some new nest materials have been added, but not much — significantly less than we typically see from Squam. It looks like the clouds will clear by midday on Tuesday, hopefully allowing the camera batteries to recharge via solar power.
We had hoped to have resolved this issue last year with the installation of two new batteries, but I now realize that we need to upgrade to a four-battery system. I’m currently working with EarthCam to get estimates for making this change.
