Viewing Birds on Cams and in Galleries

While the fate of the cam on Bobby & Rosie's nest is uncertain, there are places to view birds. The FI cam is up and running, but there are no eggs yet. The Minnesota Bound cam is also live and there is one egg there. The Southwest Florida cam eaglets are starting to branch.

And there is a new famous "Pip" in the Hummingbird Nest cam. Apparently, one of Phoebe's eggs hatched but the other was not viable. It was removed and the homeowners placed an orphan hummingbird into the nest. There is a fantastic video of the baby being placed in the nest and Phoebe's immediate acceptance of her on YouTube here. Links for all these cams are at the right.

For those in New York City, the New-York Historical Society is featuring “Audubon’s Aviary,” with more than 200 watercolors of birds, in their galleries through May 19. (Parts 2 and 3 will be shown in 2014 and 2015.) An article about it, featuring a slide show and bird calls, is in the New York Times. Click here to read.
