Web Cam Fun

One of the many benefits of modern technology is that it can get us up close views of animals in the wild without thousands of people tromping up to disturb their natural habitat. A good example earlier this winter is the webcam of Lily the Black Bear near Ely, Minnesota. Thanks to the North American Bear Center, thousands of people all over the world are able to peer into her den as she cares for a single cub somewhere in the wilds of northern Minnesota. You can check it out by clicking here.

Other websites can give you up close looks of birds sitting on their nests. The one featured here features a great view of a Bald Eagle on its nest!  The nest is located in the Norfolk Botanical Gardens in Norfolk, Virginia. Eggs were laid January 31, so there should be eaglets to watch by mid-March!  Enjoy the show!
