NEW CAM - LIVE FROM AFRICA!

I can't believe that I am watching LIVE some elephants drinking from a river in Kenya! It's almost like being on safari. It's pretty amazing. And there are three cams to choose from: the aforementioned African River Cam, the Animal Lookout Cam, and the Watering Hole Cam.


This site has even more cams to explore, including grey seals on Seal Island, Maine

Kind of Crazy!

Blue Jays are a common sight around Brooklyn. But a blue jay eating a baby bird? Well, that's another story. While blue jays may eat bird eggs and nestlings, they most often go for acorns, nuts, seeds and insects, according to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. But today, in front of PS 230, a blue jay swooped down and snatched a nestling.
Blue Jays often eat nuts, but they are omnivores!

According to custodian Matthew Farrell, who saw the whole thing, a man had found a baby bird and was tucking it safely in a corner when out of the blue came the jay and scooped that baby bird right up! He tried to get a photo, but it all happened so fast!
