Way back when when son #1 was a tot, some robins built a nest in the holly tree outside of his window. The nest was actually eye level with the windows. We had shutters on the inside which was the perfect barrier to our curious eyes.
It was absolutely amazing to watch the progress of these baby robins from eggs to chicks to teens, when they ultimately left the nest and for years, robin would return to repeat the drama every Spring. We named them the same names every year!
There is still a nest in the tree and I think some Cardinals have taken it over, but for some reason, the drama now seems to be hidden by the rapid growth of the tree. I see Cardinals darting back and forth but I cannot see into the nest as we could with the robins. Maybe the nest has been relocated.
The point of all of this is that you too can have an eagle's eye view (pardon the pun, and you will see why in a moment) of nature at its finest by clicking onto the Eagle Cam mounted on a tree above an eagle's nest in Hampton Roads Virginia. Just click here and prepare to be mesmerized. The Eaglets are all fluff and their eyes are wide open. You can see them huddled together waiting for their mother to return with food and if you gaze long enough you'll catch mealtime.
And not to be outdone, check out this puppy cam featuring six of the cutest Shiba Inu pups you have ever seen.
Warning: Both are addictive.
