One kid arrives, Mom leaves, kid is self-feeding https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2d79cb3d86a4792d2351515887afaa7bda734a03355c0c715eb84497ed8eb5e7.png

Parent with prey… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5ff5c36129114dfb3416eab18366d32b60de19863bc081e6f97c4a784df2d363.png
The first kid arrives, no….rushes to the nest. Parent escapes. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/01b7e24231be57725c294812a6e2c43e80efd34c825e7d112b2058874838e0b0.png
Second kid on its way, the one in the nest is mantling https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8bb2546e457bb63f2e8a734e412d60589d1a238ba889a0052a534957f5d6e834.png
…and then nothing but wings and a scuffle and a bunch of blurry sequences, and finally we see (as was to be expected)….the winner takes it all. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f994e8f2c7c7e2659b789d6f0c380fb2bc2615137935006085bc0830136a8609.png
No, that's wrong. Even the loser can get a small piece if he steals it… Next time, it will be the other way round. Maybe… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b7516364b68f34eb3069ceb82e8d319783cf12e82c54e70c22bd5cedab78d037.png

Another delivery. Both kids have their talons stuck in the prey and stay that way for about two minutes. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e58b42fdf213a2df478e44449d675fb4885869bc912d7acfdb0193c988b819cf.png
Then they let go, and each gets their share of the bird. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9d332c2964521741e048f8180158f2eb1da954bbd1b7b3f546f18524844fb4c2.png

Now second kid arrives, but sibling is mantling and self feeding https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/deb947733910067fc14506644c022faf7aa12f0f7625a216b484b512fe2e92a5.png

Kid arrives in the nest for the night and Mom joins her kid! Beakies, nibbling, allopreening! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/27a84940b0f777500922c548e290e873eebf9b2e430c6fc40a5f32ddf170e752.png
Now the second kid arrives too. And what do we see? Beakies, nibbling, allopreening! What a loving relationship this Mom has with her kids. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/202db05e45c55a8baf79beb1d5a357fdb5f0a2fd54e7608c93965f19b772c1cf.png

There’s no need to apologize. The words you use to describe how you feel about the lack of interest with some of the nest cams that aren’t bald eagles or ospreys is how I feel most of the time also. We understand each other nearly perfectly. I’m still going to write you an email. I didn’t forget. I have guests at my house today that wasn’t scheduled, but I’m happy for the companionship and conversation while it’s my day away from work. We’re watching Germany play in the World Cup right now and relaxing.

Hi @roberttragesser:disqus , I just wanted to check in again and apologize. I’ve had some more time to think about it. I didn’t mean to complain yesterday; it’s just that sometimes it’s frustrating to be almost the only one visiting certain sites. I checked out your duck page today, and it was nice to see how much fun you were all having. I’ll admit, “my” pages are anything but funny—they’re more on the sad side.
No wonder, then, that people aren’t interested in them. How did I end up projecting my own interests onto others? Everyone is free to look at whatever they want.

You might be right about that. But there are so many nests where you can actually watch the whole process from the very beginning…and yet there’s no real interest.

I believe you were correct about the skepticism and also being supportive of change at the same time. I took heed to your skepticism for weeks actually because it was and still is valid to be skeptical.

I'm going to write you an email this evening or tomorrow and explain some history at NC, and it might result with you understanding what's important to me and others like you. It might also have a positive effect on your skepticism.
