Theyre still living in the roof! And if you listen closely you can hear the strange sounds coming from the lake ice. Name :   Doug & Dawn Coughran Location :   Perth, Western Australia Date :   19 December 2009 Message :   Can I hear Red Squirrels ? Name :   Bob Location :   Potters Lake Date :   18 December, 2009 Message :   There are dozens of goldfinches today. Theyve practically emptied the 5-litre feeder in two days! Plus, chickadees, blue jays, hairy woodpeckers, and red-breasted nuthatches. Name :   Doug & Dawn Coughran Location :   Perth, Western Australia Date :   19 December 2009 Message :   Enjoying the bird activity at the feeder, it looks like a nice but chilly morning.

Name :   Kathy Location :   Nashville Date :   11-14-2009 Message :   Yay! Lots of us celebrate the day you go back to the lake, because we get to be there, too! I see the birds were happy to see you as well -- theyve cleaned out half the seed in the feeder already, and its still early in the morning. Exciting about the bar Name :   Bob Location :   Somesville Date :   October28, 2009 Message :   Cate heard a barred owl on the webcam last night.

Thanks Name :   Doug & Dawn Coughran Location :   Perth, Western Australia Date :   July 12, 2009 Message :   At least the Blue Jay is enjoying the feeder in the rain, its been quite busy. Name :   Doug & Dawn Coughran Location :   Perth, Western Australia Date :   July 12,2009 Message :   I see from this mornings look at the cam, I spoke too soon about the absence of rain, yesterday. Name :   Doug & Dawn Coughran Location :   Perth, Western Australia Date :   July, 11, 2009 Message :   The sky over the lake looks clear of rain and fog this morning and not a ripple of wind on the water...... beautiful. Name :   Kathy Location :   Nashville Date :   6-24-2009 Message :   It looks like youre having a lovely sunset after a rainy day. Hot as blazes here! Name :   Bob Location :   Potters Lake Date :   24 June, 2009 Message :   Our eighth consecutive day of rain and fog... There was a pair of Evening grosbeaks on the cam this morning. It is only the second time we have seen them here, although they are a relatively common bird in this part of the world. Name :   Doug & Dawn Coughran Location :   Perth, Western Australia Date :   22 June 2009 Message :   Bob, Im sure I spotted a Red-winged Blackbird Name :   tim Location :   hallowell, maine Date :   06/15/09 Message :   My friend Kathy told me about your cam. Very cool Name :   Bob Location :   Potters Lake Date :   June 14, 2009 Message :   Well, the turtle was trying to get though the fence - which wasnt going to happen. So I thought I would help her out. I picked her up and moved her out in the yard a bit. She wasnt pleased, and headed back down the hill to the water;. Name :   Bob Location :   Potters Lake Date :   June 14, 2009 Message :   We have been following several large snapping turtles that are nesting in the yard. The camera just followed one all the way up from the water on the jetty - there is saved video of that one - which now is too close to the house to see!! Name :   Kathy Location :   Nashville Date :   6-14-09 Message :   I got on in time to watch moving critters! How exciting! Name :   Kathy Location :   Nashville Date :   6-6-09 Message :   Are those lupins I see down on the shore? Oh, my, I do miss lupins! Name :   Kathy Location :   Nashville Date :   5-31-2009 Message :   Great shot of your ants! Youre getting quite a good collection of drowned ones inside the feeder! My Albion hummingbirds were too fussy to drink when there were ants near the openings -- I guess Canadian hummingbirds are made of stouter stuff! {{: D Name :   Bob Location :   Potters Lake Date :   May 30, 2009 1:00 PM ADT Message :   Now theres an eagle in the upper right of the screen and a loon in the lower left. Name :   Bob Location :   Potters Lake Date :   May 30, 2009 Message :   Yeah, but its just sitting there at the far end of the lake now. Its soaking wet. Name :   Kathy Location :   Nashville Date :   5-30-2009 Message :   Good job tracking the eagle! That was exciting! Name :   Kathy Location :   Nashville Date :   5-30-2009 Message :   I see you finally got our rain. Oddly enough, its sunny and beautiful here today, for a change. Your cedar waxwing photo is the toast of Tennessee! Name :   Doug & Dawn Coughran Location :   Perth, Western Australia Date :   May 30, 2009 Message :   Good-on-ya Bob! Logged onto the feeder cam and managed to finally see a Humming bird! VERY COOL! Name :   Kathy Location :   Nashville Date :   5-24-2009 Message :   I like the new feeder -- kind of a fountain look. Its raining here again . . . Frankly, my dear, Id rather be at Potters Lake! Name :   Bob Location :   Potters Lake Date :   May 23, 2009 Message :   Cate saw a peregrine falcon today. It flew in low by the house right over the fence and the feeders. It would have been on the webcam - but only very briefly (theyre sort of fast!) Name :   Bob Location :   Potters Lake Date :   May 23, 2009 Message :   Thanks for the compliment, Grace - but its not a sculpture, just a double decker platform feeder full of sunflower seeds. A bit easier to see the birds, squirrels, and the view at the same time. Name :   Grace Location :   Vinalhaven Date :   5/23 Message :   Nice sculpture! Is it to be planted with flowers to attract humming birds & butterflies? Name :   Doug & Dawn Coughran Location :   Perth, Western Australia Date :   23 May 2009 Message :   Thanks for moving the camera, thats a nice close up of the feeder. Name :   Doug & Dawn Coughran Location :   Perth, Western Australia Date :   23 May 2009 Message :   Gday Bob & Cate, Wow! The new bird feeder is VERY impressive! Name :   Bob and Cate Location :   Potters Lake Date :   May 16, 2009 Message :   Sorry about the rain in Tennessee! Yes, beautiful here, if chilly one month since Ice Out. Weve been watching a lot of beaver and raccoon action up on the north end. Also, geese, spotted sandpipers, loons, and the rest of the usual suspects here. Name :   Kathy Location :   Nashville Date :   5-16-2009 Message :   Its so beautiful there this morning! Im wishing I was having breakfast on your deck instead of sitting here watching MORE rain falling! I cant believe its another #$&*! rainy weekend in Tennessee! Name :   Bob Location :   Somesville, Maine Date :   May 15, 2008 - 14:40 EST Message :   I just saw a hummingbird on the cam. We put the feeders out last weekend, but this is the first hummingbird seen. We will point the camera at the feeder tonight. Name :   Doug & Dawn Coughran Location :   Perth, Western Australia Date :   May, 15, 2009 Message :   Gday Bob & Cate, Another extremely busy day down here, at least its Friday evening and with a little luck a quiet weekend ... at least I live in hope. Name :   Bob Location :   Somesville, Maine Date :   May 15, 2009 Message :   Gday Doug and Dawn. It was blowing a gale today. The surf breaking over the jetty might have gotten you wet down there on the bench. But this time of year we like this kind of weather - keeps the blackflies from biting! Name :   Doug & Dawn Coughran Location :   Perth, Western Australia Date :   May, 15,2009 Message :   Gday Bob and Cate, We are looking forward to sitting on that garden bench alongside the lake in August. Love the wind waves this morning (evening) on the lake. Counting down the days. Name :   Bob Location :   Somesville, Maine Date :   May 14, 2009 Message :   Hi, we hope you will take a moment to leave a message on our new message board/guestbook. We would love to hear from you!
