BLP installs web cam at falcon nesting site

A break from the winter weather last week allowed for the installation of a high-definition Internet camera at a peregrine falcon nest site in Grand Haven.

The nest is located on the Grand Haven Board of Light & Power's tall stack on Harbor Island. The camera will allow real-time viewing of the rare falcons when they return to the power plant site this spring.

"Finding the right time to complete this project has been a challenge," said BLP Director of Production Dan Bush. "We really needed to find the right day, a bit warmer and without the wind gusts, to do this job safely."

Jesse Morehouse, a technician for Troy Tech Services of Grand Rapids, climbed the stack Friday with BLP employee Chris Morse to reach the wooden next box located about 240 feet above ground. They installed the all-weather camera in the roof of the nest box.

For the past seven years, a pair of peregrine falcons has used the nest box in producing a total of 23 chicks. They are generally active there from early spring to late fall.

While the site has proven successful for the falcons, it has been a tough environment for electronics, Morehouse said. Two low-resolution cameras previously installed on the stack by a Grand Rapids television station each failed after about a year.

The nest cam is expected to be activated this spring from the BLP's Web site: www.ghblp.org.

Acme Mills
We have been working with Troy Tech Services since mid-year of 2006. During this time we under took a major network upgrade, not only in hardware, but a major upgrade in our application software. Troy Tech worked closely with our software firm to ensure that all pieces of hardware and software work flawlessly together. This included our three facilities in Michigan and one in New Mexico.

Troy Tech Services is very professional and knowledgeable of our installed hardware, networks, software, and private VPN. Many issues have been resolved by having Troy Tech’s Help Desk use the remote access ability into our network to solve issues. This not only eliminates extensive downtime in resolving an issue, but saves us money as well by not dispatching a tech to one of our sites.

Troy Tech Services is our IT Staff without all of the overhead expense. I strongly recommend Troy Tech Services as the company to meet your IT needs.
