I've been over the moon watching watching eagles, owls, herons, bluebirds and an osprey tend to their young in nests throughout Ish River Country this past week via webcams courtesy of the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife. There are a number of cameras mounted on the edge of bird nests, from which one can witness the daily activities of the aforementioned birds sitting on eggs and/or tending to their freshly-hatched little ones.Normally, these cameras can be pretty boring, but right now is prime time for lots of busy nesting activity, and I find myself leaving the browser windows on my desktop all day, monitoring what is nothing less than an amazing show of new spring life and parental nurturing.
These photos are some highlights from the past couple of days. Watch the show yourself by visiting the WildWatchCams homepage.
