Although the gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinenesis) that I’m feeding have failed to nest on my windowsill, they regularly visit me, and I leave them a buffet of peanuts and sunflower seeds several times per day. There are two animals, I believe of opposite sex. Their behavior is invariant in some ways. They always take the […]
I haven’t highlighted the Cornell HawkCam this year, but the red-tailed hawks have produced two eggs, and, according to viewers, the third appears to be hatching at this moment. Go over to the site and keep an eye out! A screenshot: h/t: Kelly
Thanks to alert reader Sameer, I became aware of an OwlCam on the Nature Conservancy website. The cam and nest box were set up by one of the NC’s attorneys in Texas, Cathy Howell (more information below). The residents are two eastern screech owls (Megascops asio) named Hoot and Annie. The pair have reared 21 owlets […]
I’m afraid my efforts to get squirrels to nest on my office windowsill have failed. After I put out strips of cloth for the nest, they stopped building it, perhaps due to my scent (thought the cloth was clean). What remains is, as you see in the picture below, a circle of twigs with an […]
Last year, as I recall, we followed the adventures of the two red-tailed hawks at Cornell, Ezra (male) and Big Red (female). Well, the hawkcam is up again and alert reader Kevin informs me of this: I don’t know whether you’ve noticed but Big Red and Ezra are back at the Cornell Hawk Cam [JAC: […]
There are actually two squirrels involved in building the nest on my office windowsill, so I have hopes for a brood of babies later this spring. In the meantime, twigs continue to accumulate and, as per Ben Goren’s suggestion, I have cut up strips of soft, clean socks for them to use as nesting material. […]
Ripley’s kittens are growing up fast at KittenCam, so go see them now. All is quiet as mom and the sated kittens are sleeping. I still favor Ash, the gray kitten with a black head. A screenshot: h/t: Michelle
Ripley and her kittens are addictive at KittenCam. A screenshot: My favorite kitten is Ash, the little gray guy with the black head to the extreme left. I’ve never seen a gray cat with a black head, and he has a white nose stripe and collar. There are 3113 people chatting at the moment. Little […]
From Christina Purcell via Matthew Cobb, we have a livestreamed KittenCam from The Scientist. The four kittens are only nine days old, and, of course, all have science-y names. If you want to take a break from BearCam, this is the place. A screenshot: And information from the site: Mamacat Marie (1yr) was found as […]
The live BearCam now shows seven bears at Brooks Falls, Alaska, eagerly awaiting the arrival of salmon sashimi into their gaping maws. And there are salmon to be had. The prime spot appears to be occupied by two bears at the top of the falls, as they can simply snap up the salmon that must […]
