I spy with my little eye....

Click here for a wonderful and amazing bit of nature (make sure you have a hi-speed connection). I have been watching these little guys since they were still embryos. Occassionally Mom/Pop stop by and feed them up, but my how they have grown this last month. One has already established dominance (he was born a day earlier - you can tell by his feather growth) and eats first, gets preferential treatment and is much more eager than his sibling. Most of you will find these fellows to be rather gruesome on appearance, however, "yif and yonly yif" you are a bird person will you find these creatures darling. Regardless, this is a majesty that is slowly disappearing in America and for which very few, I fear, will mourn.
