The Birds... and Bear...

So a good friend of mine sent me some links on the Internet to some live webcams. These cameras have been strategically placed to look directly into the nests of birds. It is nearly time for the eggs to hatch, so all of the people will be able to watch this amazing process from their computers. These cameras are much closer than you would be able to get in real life, so you get to see an average day in the life of these birds.

The bird currently taking most of my attention is Molly the Barnowl. Her mate McGee also tends to come around when called to bring her food. Given the camera angle you get to see him come, deliver, and watch her devour, mice, rats, rabbits, etc. Molly is quickly gaining popularity and her five eggs are expected to hatch anytime. I highly recommend you check them out: http://www.ustream.tv/theowlbox

There is also Phobe the hummingbird and her eggs: http://phoebeallens.com/

The Hawks whose names I don't know: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/the-franklin-institute-haw-cam

And Lily the Bear and her Cub: http://www.bear.org/website/lily-a-hope/live-den-cam.html

There are more of these, but these are the ones I have been checking out. So there. Now I have warned you before the hatch so you can still watch when it happens.
