I have gotten hooked on watching wild animal baby cams. In particular, there is an eagle family I have been following since Feb. For a city kid, it is kind of exciting to watch them grow, and get to learn some of the habits, rituals, and warnings.

The nest has been attacked 3 tmes by predators thus far. An owl before they were even hatched. Another eagle a while back, and yesterday another eagle.

I could hear the commotion and by the time I pulled up the cam, this is what I was watching:







Mom, Dad, and the babies are fine. I have now sprouted another patch of gray hair. What a horrible helpless feeling to watch this unfold.

Today, I was watching the local osprey cam as mom and dad are readying the nest. Ospreys use weird stuff in their nests. The platform nests have the usual twigs and branches plus, fish netting, signs, and today dad brought in a fishing pole. Not sure if he thought it added to the decor or if it was to give him something to do while sitting on the eggs.
