I work from home, and really need little motivation to become distracted, and these videos fit the bill. Thanks MJ! :)

MJ, you are bad!!!! I've been watching those Cornell nest cams for years and I'm sure I'd have been fired (several times) by now if they'd been around when I was working full-time! :D They are so cool!

Did you see the Wood duck?

Seventeen eggs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:omg:

I figured you've had your eye on those Janie, since I saw the Bluebirds.

Great! Now I've got more cams to watch :rolleyes: I'm so hooked on the Africam that Elle gave us I can't get any work done >o

MJ, I can't FIND the Wood Ducks!!! Link that to me, please. I did check out the Killdeer and let me tell you, they are, by far, the cutest baby birds I've ever laid eyes on and I met two up close and personal Sunday afternoon when I picked them up out of a dangerous parking lot and put them in the grass. They come out of the egg ready to eat, fully feathered and running around but they can't FLY for 3 to 4 weeks. I held one for 15 minutes trying to find "just the right spot" to place him in. OMG, I wanted to bring that baby home but his parents, who were right there, would not have appreciated that. From his size, I suspect he'd just hatched that day. Cuter than any baby bluebird I've ever seen! :D

:omg: I'm logging in from work tomorrow - these look just perfect for a mid-morning break! Thanks, I like the way you think, MJ!!!:happy:

Janie, the Wood Duck is the third down on the list.

[Janie]

Good grief! I was looking at the list on the far left and did not notice the individual nest cams in the middle of the screen. WOW, that is one whooping load of eggs! Wood ducks are so interesting looking.

Thanks M J. The owl cam went out to the garage where one of my guys was ordering semi parts. He sent me back a notice saying he ordered a couple but we'll have to wait till their eye's are fully open. So I sent them a moon cam and told them to order a couple of those too! Nosey guys. Apparently I missed some other stuff so I think I'll go back and have a look see while nobody's around. Those owls really look awesome. And to think at one time we never dreamed of getting to see inside their nest.....Michael N' Goofy
