Fast Eddie - Peregrine Falcon
Hi folks, I'm Fast Eddie, named after the famous aviator Eddie Rickenbacker.
We falcons own the skies around here and live on mice, squirrels, rabbits and other birds.
I am a predator of the highest order and can kill another bird with one strike in my famous 200 MPH dive. I leave Jeffery alone, since he is a bit big for me right now.
While I am one bad dude, I kill only what I need and enjoy the hunting grounds around the bridge.
Don't worry, I will let Jeffery back here next summer, I actually like the goofball.
I enjoy boat watching also, since there may be a dead rat once in awhile on the deck.
See ya around!
Fast Eddie!
Bridge Cam Outage
Update 14:00: Microphone replacement complete. The microphone cord had been shredded by the last storm. Since the Canal Cam mic is still working, I will replace that one when it warms up.
The little birdhouses are where the microphones are mounted.
FYI,
The Bridge Cam will be offline this afternoon to replace the microphone.
Sorry about the inconvenience.

Camera Update!
FYI,
Two Harbors: The internet provider at Two Harbors is struggling at bit to work through some unusual operating issues keeping the two cameras from connecting to the internet. They are working through the problem and doing their best to get the cameras back online. The connection should be better than ever.
Bridge microphone: The Bridge Cam mic shorted out last week. I have the replacement ready to install now and hope to replace it tomorrow. Depending on the time it takes, I have a replacement mic for the Canal Cam also.
GLA Cam: I installed a new antenna radio system this week and the connection seems much better.
Harbor Hub: I have upgraded the internet connection speed at the Harbor Hub that will improve the connection to all six cams that stream through there.
Thank you for your patience and incredible support.

Two Harbors Cameras Offline
The Two Harbors Cams are both offline due some configuration problems with the Internet Service Provider.
This is an unusual situation and the provider is working on it, hopefully, it shouldn't be more than a couple days.

Bridge Cam Microphone failure!
Update: 20:00 Thanks to: Thomas Chesney, Joan Dearing, jean mejerle, and Jeanette Jensen we collected enough to replace the mics on both cameras. I will get them ordered and install them as soon as they arrive.
I appreciate your support.

The Bridge Cam microphone shorted out today. If anyone would like to donate one, They cost $100.
I can order it and get it up by next Friday if the weather holds. We have two cameras with mics, the Canal and Bridge, both are getting old.
Thanks a bunch!

Sea Smoke over Lake Superior (Timelapse)
A fast moving cold front raced over Lake Superior overnight and created sea smoke over Lake Superior as temperatures dipped near zero F.
Sea Smoke and Saltie
The freighter Iryda sat anchored off Duluth this morning bundled up in sea smoke rising off the warm (32F) waters of Lake Superior. The air temperature was 0F a taste of things to come.

Camera Updates
Two Harbors Depot - the camera is online, however there are some network issues that are preventing me from accessing the camera, (without being there) to make some final adjustments.
Hoping to get back at it next week.
Harbor Hub - I will be upgrading some network equipment tomorrow , so, there may be some short outages to GLA, Harbor, Pier B, Hillside, Bayfront and Wisconsin Pt.
GLA Cam - I will be replacing the antenna radio that beams the signal from the aquarium to the hillside. If the weather warms up, I will be doing this the week of Nov 18. This will create an outage to the GLA cam of several hours.
Camera Streaming - Most of the cams of streaming from Youtube now. There are several that will continue to stream from Angelcam and some from both until their contract expires sometime in 2020. These cams are Silver Bay, Two Harbors, Canal, Bridge and Pier B.
2020 will be a test year for Youtube. So far the benefits are an ability to review back 12 hours, no timeout after an hour and lower streaming cost. I will review the process and migrate back to Angelcam if things don't work out. It could be that some cam stay on both, some stay on Angelcam and others only on Youtube -- the jury is still out, but there remains a lot of things to consider.
2020 Look Ahead - My focus in 2020 is to improve the streaming quality by strengthening the networks with upgraded switched, cables and routers including increasing connection speeds where economically feasible.
Note, there are many things that affect the quality of video that you get and I appreciate your patience while I stamp out the problems that pop up daily, including problems that I create myself.
Thank your for your fabulous support for this site, it's you that makes the difference.
