NESTCAMS!


I've just spent some time watching two adorable barn owls in their nest....courtesy of technology known as NestCams. A NestCam is a camera mounted near a nest so humans can spy on birds without disturbing them, and hopefully, learn something about bird courting, mating, laying eggs, and raising young. The nest I was watching tonight is in Texas! I was hoping to see one of the owls fly out and bring back a nice, tasty rodent to eat!

If you want to peak into a bird's nest, just go to: http://watch.birds.cornell.edu/nestcams. Have fun!
