I'm very sorry , I didn't mention it earlier - please, better use Mozilla Firefox to watch the video stream. If you don't see it anyway, than you need to download flash plugin as standart procedure to watch this kind of flash video.

The camera is so close to the owl -- you can really see her breathing.

yes, one of our mistakes. when we placed camera, we made experiment with things of owl's size to focus better quality, but as seems - camera needs to be higher! (job for next year owls' nesting)
but there are positive aspect too - little chicks will be seen closer and better than adult.

It was perfect when I saw the eggs, but it is nice to see the breathing too (it is odd you cannot see the whole owl, but it is not possible for everything to be perfect)

there is an empty shell.
I have not seen the chick yet
and a mouse in stock

You can see the owlet right now. Soo tiny.

I saw it do wing exercises -- so cute!

I failed to think of a capture.

This cam was mentioned last year, but for those who weren't here or didn't take not of it, this is the Hornby Island, B.C. Bald Eagle camera with (I think) one chick. The sun is at an impossible angle right now for viewing and will be better later.

I also included link to an earlier video cap of the eaglet being fed, with an amazing view of him/her having to exercise his neck muscles to grab the food morsels. We don't have quite the extreme close-up view (well, right now, anyway, since we have no view at all).

Above link shows up for me as crazily long...good chance it doesn't work Look on Page 2 of "Hotspots" (right-hand column) for original link to this (called "mom makes Phoenix work for a bite") if it doesn't open.

Link to blog about this nest and it's eagle family:

Rosebud, I agree, the link looks impossibly long in the Reply box, but when we post the forum software shrinks it to a manageable size..

In earlier times we used things like Tinyurl or posh links, but we don't need those now!

Beleef de Lente's Barn owl has first chick hatched! She seems very happy, chirping all the time

There's also a video of hatching, very detailed!

Here you can see a man-made lake where Black Bears come to play,drink and swim
Sometimes you can see Grey Squirrels scampering around too.

I opened it up and there was a bear! Then something scared it and it ran off very fast.

It was probably the squirrel..

More seriously. The Kestrel in Switzerland has four chicks hatched and one egg still.

The news from here is a very sad one. Lily suddenly went walkabout on Friday,for reasons only known to herself. She left four-month old Hope asleep high in a red-pine tree.
She has since returned to the same spot but Hope has gone. The researchers and others are actively looking for Hope but there is no sign of her.
Its four days now,for a little bear that is still suckling this is frightful news.
