Although our local weather may not be as spring-like as we’d like, birds are responding to their nesting timelines all over the country. Below are links to several special opportunities to observe the nesting behavior of a bird species including hawks, osprey, peregrines, eagles and hummingbirds. Several links have been provided for eagle cams; each of them offers a view of different stages in the nesting. These links include live cams as well as recordings (both from this season and from previous years). The pages usually include some information about the project and the individual birds’ histories. Because of the file sizes and depending on your internet speed, there may be delay times as the live-streams load.
If you have information on other sites, please share with Carol Rice at goforsix@aol.com.
