Eagle cam

Cool link to Nature Conservancy site where they have a camera on an eagle's nest. She just laid eggs a couple of weeks ago, so there will be chicks soon.

The sounds are so peaceful.

Very cool, ssb. Oh my, how I love eagles. How long does it take for the eggs to hatch?
What was that other cam we all watched for days a long time ago????

She jsut turned around! I'd like to think it was jsut for me.

DD...I think it was a pond in Africa.

I think you're right.

I had the cam on all day yesterday and didn't see much action. Then I went outside on the porch, glanced in at the screen and she was gone! As soon as I stepped back inside, the Daddy bird (10) flew in to take over. It was very cool!
I'm keeping it on just for the sounds of the Santa Cruz woods.

It really is exciting DD. Since I'm in all day today I've kept it on. Just a few minutes ago, they traded places again. It's amazing. I kind of thought I would be able to see the other one in the background whenever it approached, but she just appeared from under the nest! She's was very graceful...dropped what looked like some grass into the nest while she watched longingly as her mate took to the skies. She fluffed up the place a bit, and got comfortable. Truly is cool to be able to witness this.

I have bluebirds nesting in my birdhouse. And I saw the first hummingbird this morning!

I'm all about some birds...

Wow, as I was typing, there was a helicopter in the vicinity of the nest. I never saw it, but it was very loud. She started looking all around, probably worried about her mate.

This is cool. But MANgo is laughing at me because I was whispering for him to come and look. Kind of like when I turn the volume up on movies with subtitles.
