Apparently teachers (who have the technology) are showing the Hornby web cam live in their classromms.

We still check in every now and then. Did you see when the LIVE snake was in the nest??? Mom (or Dad) ended up feeding it to baby bit by wiggling bit. Needless to say, my kiddo LOVED watching it.

I didn't see the opossum delivery live, but a video was posted on Facebook. Up to now I think the little one has mostly been eating fish.

I've heard that, as the fledgelings approach their first flight, the adult eagles toss the soft stuff out of the nest. The sticks and hard edges left behind help "prod" the baby into flight. It'll be interesting to watch and see if that's true.Leigh Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18195976627624064247noreply@blogger.com
