In Delta, British Columbia there is an eagle nest in a tree beside a farm
Here's a link to the main page provided by the organization that maintains two cameras overlooking the nest.

They also do work to maintain the tree during the winter -- or at least they did last winter when wind damaged it.
The eagles have two eggs at the moment, and take turns incubating them.
We check in on them periodically during our streams
Here's a screenshot taken a few minutes ago...

Quite an informative video on the Pileated Woodpecker
We had one visit our bird feeder a few times.
I have amassed over 60 hours of video of our backyard bird feeder, but going through it all is a daunting task.
I'm still experimenting with video production.
Here is a quick experimental item.
No audio, but the video is getting better.
Focus is hard to maintain -- sometimes the camera's autofocus will focus right in on the spots on the window!
If you watch it on youtube, consider adding a comment -- it would help me to understand how their comments section works.

Interesting point.
When we moved into this house 20 years ago, in the summer time, from before sunrise for several hours the air was filled with bird song. There are far, far fewer birds in the last few years.
Domestic cats take their toll, but lack of habitat and lack of food play a part as well.
It would be different if we lived in a rural area, but this is suburban, and although there is greenspace right next to our property, I'll do what I can.
It's indeed better if they can survive without help. Otherwise they could come back and gets lazy.
I had to look up "Stoat"
Here we call the "weasels" -- but it is the same animal, since they turn white in winter
This one is cool. I've seen these guys in the wild, and occasionally used one of their dams to cross streams
My grandson was dive-bombed by an owl a few weeks ago while out on a walk.
In the park, I've had seagulls eat out of my hand -- but they're not exactly wild. In the park they are so used to humans.
