Off Topic but Fascinating View of Nature

[Chemar]

I thought maybe you and your kids would appreciate this awesome live web cam view of an eagle's nest in Norfolk Virginia Botanical Gardens

 

I have been watching for a few days now and it is amazing

 

every now and then mom and or dad eagle fly in with food for the 3 chicks

 

remember this is on eastern Std time and so will be dark from sundown to sunrise each day

 

enjoy!

Thank you Cheri, my son and husband are freeeeeeked by this! We caught the mom back in the nest around 7:30 p.m. Sat nite. My son doesn't want to close the screen! And I'm having fun cause I just downed a cocktail before we go out to dinner!

P.S. Funny, do you see the sybolism? Momma protecting her baby chicks...that's us!

Hi faith

 

yes, it occurred to me that the mama/papa bird in each of us would resonate with watching this incredible display of God's creation instinctively doing their parenting.

 

I am already deeply attached to those three lil eaglets and most impressed at mom and dad!

 

I keep the cam minimised here at my computer and so I peek in all day while I am working

 

It was so inspiring for me to see how the mother eagle was protecting them during the high winds and rain this morning

 

HERE IS AN UPDATE!!!!

Eagle Cam Update: Tuesday afternoon, a biologist from the College of William and Mary will be banding the eagle chicks in this nest. Log on about 3:00 p.m. EDT to watch. .

 

I will be watching
