Just wondering if anyone here, besides me, watches any of the various eagle, osprey and other bird oriented links? They are amazing and I have found them to be a 'learning experience'
I presently keep track of the 'goings on' of Decorah Eagles: https://www.raptorresource.org/birdcams/decorah-eagles/
Peregrine Falcons: http://chesapeakeconservancy.org/explore/wildlife-webcams/peregrine-falcon/
Ospreys: http://chesapeakeconservancy.org/explore/wildlife-webcams/osprey/
and a Great Blue Heron nest: http://chesapeakeconservancy.org/explore/wildlife-webcams/great-blue-heron/
 
My wife and I are avid birdwatchers, and make trips up to Reelfoot Lake in northwest Tennessee. Found this nesting pair last December:



And, some years back, this barred owl:

About 6 miles from me is the Conawingo dam. The Eagles are so numerous that there seems to always be a fight over a fish happening somewhere. Photographers line the banks to get a single photo. Go on line and look up "Conawingo dam eagles".
 
I ran across a video of osprey fishing a couple years ago. Incredible under water shots along with the dives and retrievals. Amazing the size of fish these guys can get airborne. I think if you just Goggle Osprey fishing it would come up some where.
 
Oh yes, FM. I watch a whole lot of bird sites. My wife and I love hiking in State Parks, Game Lands, and National Forests here in PA with binoculars seeing what is flying around us. Our spring plans have us going to eastern PA (Hawk's nest) off I-78 and watching migratory birds head north, and visit the Cooper burial plot in Mountainhome, PA.

Best,
