Right out of the box, I’m going to send you to an eagles’ nest.
It’s in Decorah, Iowa. T
he Decorah Eagles recently hatched their third egg. Will it survive? Will any of them survive?  The site has held me(and my cat, VooDoo) 
spellbound since the 1st eaglet emerged on April 2, 2011. VooDoo, when kicked off the desk close to the monitor, has sometimes climbed onto my shoulder to catch a glimpse of these eaglets and their parents.
While, no doubt, the camera operators also wish the resolution is better, any glimpse at all is amazing.  There is much to be learned and enjoyed here. Check out the site; it’s on 24 hours, but when it’s dark in Iowa at about 6:00pm PST,  the camera goes to infrared and the adults tend to go to sleep.
Okay, now that I ‘ve sent you away, Come back.
As with the Decorah Eagles, birds are burgeoning with life in my part of California.  At the Palo Alto Baylands Preserve, the egrets, after a hiatus of several years,  have started to return to these once well-used nesting grounds. The black crowned night herons, who never left are settling in, repairing nests and making ready for the babies. I’ve been here hundreds of times, always finding 
something new and beautiful to record.
These beautiful birds thrill me.
