Owl Box Update (12/20/24)
An update for the owl box watchers... The owl stopped staying in the box during the day a few weeks ago (which is why I stopped streaming). Looking through footage from previous years, that seems to be common behavior. Wherever they're staying during the day, they still come visit the box at night occasionally. Here's a clip from last night with time spent playing in the sawdust followed by a few minutes of calling. *Hopefully*, we'll be streaming again soon.

How exciting! I've been watching and waiting for an update. Thanks Jon!
nice,,, must be even nicer to not have flaps
nice,, fly with your left hand :))
Poor baby looks so crowded and alone.
Thanks for this Jon. Nice to have the microphone at the box so I can hear when when he (or she) returns. Was at about 6:23 am Eastern today 2024-11-03
Вижу что с берега прыгнули в воду две лягушки! Надо сделать еще пять кругов для посадки!)))
Jon- thanks so much for doing these videos. I own a Super Petrel and your videos are like ongoing instruction for me. I do video production, and know how long it takes to do these-- so THANKS!
Certainly enjoy the insert screen of the wing camera; is there a way to insert a screen of your PFD? 😊
Hmm... Let me say possibly. I have an idea that might work and will try it next time I'm out there and see if it works. :)
Always enjoy riding with you in the videos. Love the airplane and the new XP... would have lots of use here in Florida. :)
Beautiful! I can't wait to get my Petrel!
Great video! Awesome scenery. Where were you flying?
Thanks! That's on Smith Mountain Lake just south of Roanoke, VA (KROA).
Hello Jon Beard.. Congratulations on having this beautiful rufous pair take residence in your nest box and the 1st egg laid! Thanks for this video. Looks like she gets ready to lay the egg at 21:00:14 and lays it at 21:00:45. 🙂
Hmm.. Squirrel entered the nest, a blur of activity, the Squirrel leaves, then the Owl leaves. Darn Squirrel.
No kidding! Super annoying... We've seen that twice now. The owl came back about two weeks after the first one. Hopeful they come back after this most recent one too. I'm going to be putting acrylic sheets on the roof and exterior sides this weekend (assuming the house is empty) to try to prevent squirrels from being able to climb on it.
Ahh, to slippery for Squirrels to climb on. Hope it works out for you. :) @@jonbeardphoto
Are you in sav. Ga. Area ? How does the plane handle the strong tide flow in the area ?
Can you explain the training process for me, Can i train in my own petrel ? Can i optain a seaplane rating in my own petrel ?
Glad to see some Petrel videos!!!
Hi Jon, I'm just south of Sav. ga. Been wanting a petrel for sometime now. Do you do any training ?
Hello! Going to try to answer all your questions in this one spot. We mostly fly in the Roanoke, VA area. Yes, you can do your flight training and take a checkride in your own aircraft. There are a number of different ways that training could go depending on if you're already a pilot and just adding on seaplane compared to getting your initial certificate (and it can also vary depending on the level of certificate you're going for - Light Sport, Private, Commercial). I'd recommend getting in touch with the folks at SuperPetrelUSA.com (they're the US headquarters). They'll be able to answer questions specific to your situation and give you some training options that may be closer to you. I hope that helps!
Does the terrain warning sound on every water landing?
When enabled (which it is by default) it does, yes. After flying the SP for a while, I found I didn't like the idea of getting used to ignoring/disregarding those warnings or the distraction of acknowledging the warning to make the noise stop. What you'll see in more recent videos is I disable the terrain warning system prior to descending for water work and turn it back on as part of the post water work check.
🔥♥️🇮🇳🔥🇮🇳🇮🇳
Very nice! Almost like flying with you in the airplane. Love the ability to look around by moving my mouse and scroll wheel for zooming!
Where did you beach?
Hello! I had initially planned on using the swimming beach area, but changed my mind when I got there (and I can't remember why now). Ended up using an open area near the beach that looked like other boats had pulled up there previously.
Thank you, I have only beached at the island which is a great spot. But i would like to find a place on the shore as well. I will look near the swimming area.
11/30/23 at 4:02 pm EST. Found the site "not available". Hmm..
Sorry about that. OBS keeps crashing (or like a partial crash, because it's still keeping the stream connected but isn't actually updating). I try to check it a couple times a day and restart if necessary. Hopefully I'll have some time to fully troubleshoot and get it stable soon. Definitely before nesting season!
Hello Jon, thanks for the explanation. 👍 I did find your site streaming under a new URL at 7:35 pm. 🙂@@jonbeardphoto
A rufous pair! Awesome. Around 18:31 the female starts making very sweet sounding vocals to her mate. Was she requesting that he let her out? 😊
Best 12 hours I'll ever spend.
Very nice, thanks for sharing !
Love that 360 camera. Beautiful location.
Nice! What camera is this?
Thanks! It's the GoPro Max.
Man that is awesome..thanks…hopefully I will be flying again soon..
VR is controlled by button on upper left of screen. REALLY neat!
Yep! For those using the phone app you just move your phone around to change your view. It works with VR goggles, too.
Any idea why it’s so low? I was there this morning and it seems it’s about 20 feet low
I don't know about Moomaw specifically, but in general, this is the time of year when bodies of water like this are lowered on purpose to allow for shoreline/dam maintenance and to make room for winter/spring precipitation. Edit: I did a little looking and found this from the VDWR website: "Lake Moomaw is the second largest impoundment in western Virginia. It covers 2,530 surface acres and has a maximum depth of 152 feet. The impoundment is “drawn down” between 10-15 feet annually, beginning slowly in June and reaching its lowest level usually by September."
Wow that was great!
That was fun to watch!
Dang that pilot in the right side seat looks like a pro. Pretty sure I saw him in Top Gun.
I would love to go for a ride, but I'm in New Jersey.
love the cockpit... so much to see
Thats phenomenal content - thanks for taking us along. What is your experience as an aviator (where/how did you learn to fly, how long have you been doing it, etc.)?
Thanks! I started flying in the 90s. Learned up here in the mountains of VA and in FL. Worked as a charter pilot for a long time, mostly eastern half of the US. Personal pilot for a number of aircraft owners. Always found time to work as a flight instructor along the way, as it's what I like most.
I was flying in that haze today in VA too out of Shannon KEZF. 4-5SM visibility and engine performance was a little off. VFR student solo never been in anything that thick before lol
Funny I just did this this morning! Lots of Fun!!!
Very relaxing, though I always worry a bit you will dip your wingtip and cartwheel when you bank so low... Hard to judge your actual altitude over water from the video! :)
Thanks for the concern! I'm much higher above the water and banking way less than the GoPro makes it look. Risk management/mitigation and safety of flight are always top priorities, especially when getting close to the surface. :)
Very smooth handling!👍😉
Jon Can you give me some information on giving me some flight lessons ? Where are you located ?
It’s very good video for airplane. I hope to see more video 🎉❤❤❤❤ love
I would be so scared of drones and powerlines.
It would be a fair fight for sure.
Would have liked to see you rock the wings as a wave when you passed the boat :)
very nice images! thanks for sharing
I love that bird.. maybe I can get a check ride some day❤
I really need to find a friend with a flying boat this look like so much fun haha
Brilliant video Jon! Would you be okay with me featuring a part of it on my channel as a little compilation? If thats okay, I will ofcourse credit you and include a link to your video!
So cool Jon! I'm loving the live feed. 😋 yummm...
This is so cool! Thanks for sharing this Jon. 🥰
