Here at Bird Watcher's Digest we're intently watching two different—vastly different—birds' nests. One of them has growing nestlings approaching their fledging date. The other nest is still being built.
Our soon-to-fledge nest is a red-shouldered hawk effort, complete with three age-disparate nestlings. Here's a short video clip to show how this nest looks today (Thursday, June 21).
And here is a longer clip of the second nest, which a ruby-throated hummingbird female is busy building right outside my office window at BWD.
Both of these clips were taken with my iPhone 4s camera using a Macguyver'd iPhone camera adapter and my spotting scope.
It's really nice to be able to watch this all unfolding from my workplace. A distraction that makes working inside a tad more enjoyable.
