    JK> Great link Mike :)   
      
   I oddly find myself fascinated by it at times. Last night I popped on to    
   check it out and was surprised to see that whoever is doing the live camera    
   is also lighting it at night. Considering that birds grow very fast, I assume    
   they are very young ones and wherever they are, I think it's the midwest,    
   Yesterday was a stormy day there. It was impressive last night to see the    
   mother huddle all her chicks under her wings to keep them dry while it was    
   pooring out. Considering the chicks only had pinfeathers They must have been    
   very cold and she was soaked, but did he best to keep the little ones dry and    
   warm. I dunno, I may be a nut. I am just fascintated by Nature... One never    
   gets to see the wild so intimately very often.

   Heheh, Ok..   
      
   Brings back memories of when I was little. My Mother loved Canaries and loved    
   having them and hearing them sing. I was about 3rd grade. She had a    
   wonderful singer who she really enjoyed. Well Mom and Dad also bought me my    
   first cat. I was home sick from school one day. Mom ran over to the neighbors    
   to get or borrow something. in the few minutes she was gone, I was up in bed.    
   The next thing I knew The cat had jumped up on my bed and laid the little dead    
   canary on my chest.. I can't explain the emotions I felt. Mad at the cat, Sad    
   for the bird, and being young and having it so called be my cat, I blamed    
   myself. To make it worse. Mom got back home ane I had to tell her, and she    
   just sat there for a few minutes and cried. Blaming myself and my cat and    
   seeing my mom so sad, got me blubbering like an idiot too. Cats will be cats.   
      
   Have a good One!
