We've had Peregrine Falcons nesting for years outside the Kodak Office building in downtown Rochester, NY. Here's the link to their webcam. I think they're up to 5 eggs!

Our NE Utility eaglets are coming along very nicely. I was a bit worried as the second one was hatched several days after the first. I caught the larger one pestering the smaller one, but mom is careful to make sure the little guy gets his share of the groceries.

One egg went missing and they could never find what happened to it! All four eyas have now hatched and mom and dad are taking turns caring for them. They hatched between May 7-10th.

This isn't a cam. It's a video of otters holding hands. It is a couple of mins long. I'm glad I didn't click it to stop too soon because at one point the otters let go of each other but then they rejoined hands intentionally. It is really special.

I don't know what made me go to Africam, and to the forum, but someone posted this amazing video.

Initially it is pretty upsetting.. watch the lions watch as a huge herd of cape buffalo approaches the water hole, then a lioness quickly strikes a calf.

Watch the water and you'll see two crocs fighting the lions for the calf.

Then the whole herd of buffalo (some are HUGE) returns and fight off the lions!!

Sorry, SM, not this kid. This is the very reason I've stopped watching most wildlife programs. I just can't stand seeing what I know goes on in the wild...I prefer the wonderful side of an animals life, not starvation, predation, suffering and death.

Wow! Amazing video Sea. Usually I have the same feelings as OG, but for some reason I decided to watch this one. I'm really glad I did because the ending was not at all as I expected it to be.

OG, I hear you, but in this case the whole buffalo herd, which had run off when the lions attacked, came BACK and saved the calf. A gigantic buffalo literall flipped a lioness through the air.. she looked as small as a housecat next to him. The calf walked off with the herd. For once, the lions were shaken and didn't win.

SM, I wouldn't have wanted to see the lion hurt. The sad part really isn't that a calf almost died, but that the lioness didn't catch it. From what I've been hearing, a lot of the African lion populations are suffering greatly from starvation. This grand 'Circle Of Life' can be heart wrenching from the stand-point of our human observations...at least it is for me.

In this case I don't think the lions were hurt, but I sure think the whole group became "hurt pride". Each one was run off.

The herd of Cape Buffalo really banded together.. it was like they saw the lions coming and hauled ass.. I mean here is this bull as big as a truck and he's smoking. But the calf was third in line and got caught, so the bulls all got together and came and took him back.

Isn't it, Juju? I watched it again..wow.. and it just wasn't the day for the lions.. they must have been amazed to see the buffalo lumbering their way and thought they had it made in the shade and then they get attacked by two poaching crocs!! They win that round and yikes! Here come the buffalo.

The baby eagles are still in the Kent, WA nest, but they are looking huge. Light was not right to take a picture this morning.

The babies at the NE Utilities site are also still in the nest. They are just a bit over 3 months old and should probably 'branch' anytime now.

It takes these big babies a lot longer than most to fledge.

Was just checking the Bravenet message board for the Kent, WA eagles, and it is gone!! Found this other one that seems to have replaced it, though.

http://www.eaglechat.com/forum/viewforum.php?id=3

Posters over there are saying these eagles will fledge any day now. It is possible the larger one left for good today. I have checked in several times today, and there has only ever been one baby in view. Yesterday there were two.

Above is the link to the San Diego Zoo. They have a brand spanking new baby panda. Take a peek, if you are lucky momma will be out stretching her legs and you can see the baby.
