Nothing says Spring more than bird songs during
nesting season. I had the privilege late last winter, early spring to be
introduced to two webcam sites featuring nesting birds. What a treat and, be
forewarned, an addiction of sorts!
The first
of two wonderful sites for live webcam streaming of a bird's nest with their
young has two hatchlings right now! bellahummingbird.com. This nest is located in
So. California. As I am writing this, Bella is feeding her adorable hatchlings!
It is an amazing opportunity to watch these small miracles up close &
personal! There is ample amount of info on the site about the Allen's
Hummingbird, Bella and how the site (in someone's yard) came to be. The will be
multiple clutches laid in the coming months. Savor every squeak!
The
second webcam is hdontap.com. There are quite a few
webcams on this site, scenic & bird related. Two of my favorites from last
year are the Great Horned Owl & the Bald Eagle. The first hatchlings you
will see are the Great Horned Owls from Georgia. She is sitting on her clutch
right now! The second very interesting one is in Hanover, PA, the Bald Eagle's
nest. Lots of activity will be coming there soon. Both male & female eagles
play a large role in raising their young. One of my favorite moments from last
year was a late winter snow & the parent eagle sitting on her clutch of 2
eggs & not moving as the snow piled up. (see photo above) Eventually it was just the head
peeping out of the snow!
Again, be
warned, as anyone who viewed the various (sooo cute) miracle births & fledglings
last year, these cams can be addicting!! Enjoy them all; Spring is coming!
