Now that the eaglets are rapidly approaching their fledging day, here's a little (literally!) treat for those who are not yet ready for the time of bird-watching to end for the season. :)
Dutch Little Owl nesting-box cam:
http://www.beleefdelente.nl/vogel/steenuil
The giant ploof of feathers on cam 2 is sitting on four eggs expected to hatch on or around May 23.
The second box (cameras 4-6) isn't occupied at the moment, although a male keeps dragging various snacks of the rodent-y kind in there, so even though it's fairly late in the season, I won't stop cheering for the involuntary bachelor while he's still hopeful. :)
These cameras have been topping my springtime-streaming list for years now. Some of the other nests listed all the way at the top are still active as well, so if you're not all that into owls, there's always another option.
(I won't even be too insulted if you pick some other creature over the most badass and hilarious ones. ;) )
Word of warning, though: This live-feed comes with sound - and Mama's got rather remarkable vocal capacities for one so small.
And now...enjoy. :inlove::happy:
