— Intermission —

——————————--——————

Nothing Ivory-bill today, just some entertainment… Years ago I once started watching some live bird nestcams that quickly became completely addictive! (...so I quit). My favorites were owls, hummingbirds, and European storks, but there are dozens (maybe 100s) of other species available (some are recorded videos of past nestcams, but I most enjoyed the live ones).

So anyway, it’s time for you all to suffer the addiction… you can start with these:

https://www.allaboutbirds.org/cams/barred-owls/#  (Barred Owl)


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYDOcq4FJYE  (storks, Hungary)


[...perhaps interesting to imagine an active IBWO nest finally being found and USFWS putting a remote camera on it for ongoing viewing over the Web, in hopes of satisfying gawkers and dousing any misplaced desires of birders to traipse through swamp and muck looking for it.]
