I see that Cornell has some really neat feeder cams online these days. I'd not seen these ones before. They really do a great job. I hope I see some feeding when I check next time. It's early morning there now as I type, so no action.
. mrsD really loved the Red Tail Hawks. I always think of her when I check their site. . from Taiaroa Head New Zealand. . I couldn't sleep so I was checking on the Albatross because I figured it would be daybreak in NZ. It's still dark but some of the older footage of this Albatross chick sitting on the edge of the cliff is spectacular. Last edited by Lara; 03-18-2021 at 11:35 AM. |

Thanks Lara.
Taiaroa Head New Zealand is worth a look. It is a taonga (treasure) of NZ.

I love the Cornell Live Bird Cams and some others around the US and World - PixCams have some good ones too.
One of the most active and with amazing birds by day and other nocturnal visitors is in S Africa - Allen Bird Cam . It has an amazing Genet that stops by at night! (see pic below) I think of mrsD so often when watching any of those Cams . Last edited by Chemar; 06-23-2021 at 09:07 AM. Reason: updating link |

Thanks Chemar, that's so special and I love learning about creatures that we don't have here.
Some of the footage of the Albatross brought tears to my eyes after learning how difficult it is for them just to survive hatching. Then they're fighting off all the plastics in the oceans and then if they survive everything else they go on to live for more than 40 years. They must get so tired. I found it very exciting to open that particular cam and see the chick sitting there all alone on that beautiful headland and it's so large yet so fragile and vulnerable. Kiwi, your home country is a very unique and beautiful place on earth. I'm sorry I visisted so many other places but didn't get there. |

By the way, on the live cam below that I have checked on and off today...
. ... I see the camera has panned a little to the right this afternoon and I can now see what appears to be another fluffy white object (a chick?) moving in the grass to the far right of screen. . Anyone else see that? EDITED to add --- It's night-time now though so can't see anything clearly. It has been there in the same spot so doesn't appear to be a parent bird. Just curious as I thought they only had one chick. Maybe it's another type of seabird. Last edited by Lara; 03-19-2021 at 03:24 AM. |

FYI for those who follow the season for the Red Tailed Hawks, Big Red has laid her first egg for the year on March 26th and is in the nest.
