    Wow that is cool! I watched for a minute and it didn't do much but it looked at the camera and picked at its feathers. :0)

    Brangelina baby... LOL! If I was famous I would have children and call them dumb names like Shiloh and Apple too. What the heck - they're not gonna get beaten up at school, are they.

    Nothing came up for me on that cam, for some reason.

    Did i mention here that i've been watching a stork cam in Germany? I really got into it. A couple of weekends ago, i didn't get on the computer much and didn't have a look at the cam. When i did on Monday, two of the babies were gone! I thought they had flown from the nest already, but i read up on storks and found out that they normally don't fly until July. So i emailed the German woman who originally posted the URL in a forum i go to, and she told me that one baby had died after it was banded and the other died a day later, they think of food poisoning. How sad, eh? The remaining baby has been named Felix, and Mom and Dad are taking good care of him. :)

    If you watch the osprey cam long enough you'll see the odd boat zip by in the background. lol

    The stork cam is great, interesting background too! Cute baby.

    Wow that was cool, I saw one of them squiggling around. But it was like watching a fetus ultrasound, I couldn't really tell what it was supposed to be, just that it was squiggling. :0)

    Ha! Sharon, apparently there's 3 eggs... now what'll it be???

    Yes, I noticed that today! Well then, I'll say 2 girls and one boy.

    Did you know that Ospreys are neither hawks nor eagles, taxonomists put them in their own subfamily, with a membership of only one species, interesting eh ;)
