kestrel Hungary 6-2.png - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte) Wow, I love it! Just now I saw both parents feeding at the same time. Often the female took food from the male and then either swallowed it or fed it to the chicks. There are definitely three, maybe four or five of them..
(Thanks R4, it's a Clivia.) It's so incongruous to see that huge nest with those tiny birds. [I can't find a puzzled emoticon, you know, scratching his head or something.] I sure hope the eagles don't show up any time soon.

That nest is leaning downhill really bad! LOL No wonder the Imperial eagles decided to move on. It sure makes a nice home for this pile of fluff though.

It is a reminder that when we see a parent raptor bring a squirrel, fish, rat or another unidentified food to the nest to share, there is another cycle at work that has made that food source available. Nature is an amazing, brutal, funny, endearing, educational and disheartening space we occupy. Just when we think we have it all figured out, there is more to observe, absorb and learn.

You are right Pop. We sit day to day and see the wonders and beauty of it but we rarely get to see nature as it truly is. Then we are shocked when the focus of our attention is broken by what we think is a tragedy. The cycle of life and nature can be brutal as you say. We must remember that the cams we watch are a window into real life and death is a part of life. It can be heartbreaking but it is the way of things.

(Second group of icons row 5, fourth from the left) I just added it for you!
I love the part "space we occupy". Nature owns it... we have the privilege to live in it and maybe learn by it.
