Live Cam of Eagle's Nest

I know many homeschoolers, us included, enjoyed watching the live Molly The Barn Owl Cam. Ustream also has access to a live feed of an eagle's nest.  The female eagle of this nest has laid 3 eggs. The first on Feb 23rd, the second on Feb 26th, and the last on March 2, 2011. From what I understand it takes about 35 days before the eggs will hatch. So they should be hatching March 30th-April 6th 2011 (give or take a few days).  This nest cameras are maintained by Rapture Resource Project.

These eagles have been a couple since fall of 2007. It was estimated then that the female was about 4 years old. Some people in the chat, on ustream's site,  seem to indicate that this is the male's second mate that his first was killed in a storm. So I'm not sure how old the male is, but the female is about 8 year old today.  In 2008 they had 2 babies, 2009  3 babies, and 2010 3 more babies. Thus they are old pros at this so to speak.

Museum of Animal Perspectives (M.A.P.S)

If you haven't seen or heard of this site then you have to check it out! (In my opinion, especially if you have an animal lover at home)

It is a catalog of videos from all type of animals. Some of the cameras have been mounted on the animals head like this one:


Other videos capture the animal in it's habitat like this one:

There are many, many more videos catalog, and way to many to share here!

So go check out the site: Museum of Animal Perspectives (M.A.P.S)
