For some reason I can't explain I have been fascinated by watching the nesting peregrine falcons on Kodak tower via the Birdcam. Its a down and dirty view into the lives of a pair of falcons. You get to see what they eat, count the eggs they lay, hold your breath until they hatch, and then watch the little birds grow and fledge. The whole cycle happens within a short span of time. Courtship to fledging babies in less than 4 months. There is a certain sense of ownership from watching the birds on a regular basis. Although I must confess that I am not as obsessive about it as most of the folks who comment on the Birdcam discussion board. There are some real fanatics there. For me, I guess I just enjoy watching my little part of nature from the comfort of my computer chair. (And did I mention the Eagle nest in Massachusetts, or the Stork's nest in Germany?)
