Nature Detour To Eagle Nest Live Camera

Even though our nature study has been focusing on Rodents, this link to a Live cam over an Eagle's Nest was passed on to me, and I had to pay it forward.

I've checked in a few times over the last couple of days, and usually the Eagle is watching over what looks to be two eaglets in the nest. The kids and I have enjoyed in the past watching over and counting the days until Loon eggs hatched via live cam via The Wildlife Federation. This company, Infotec Business Systems will soon be featuring a Bear Live cam --- CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT!

By the way, we are just about to wrap up our reading on Rodents by finishing the last chapter in The Burgess Animal Book that covers Rodents. The children have really enjoyed getting to know the characters like Happy Jack Squirrel, Whitefoot the Woodmouse, and Trader the Rat. Trader has been the most fascinating. Did you know that there is a rodent out there who is kind enough to TRADE for whatever he takes. He's apparently very keen on shiny things. So, say for instance he takes a spoon that has been left out, he'll make a trade. You might find in its place, grass he's collected, or small stones. Isn't that crazy??? The kids love him.
