8. I agree, baby birds are the cutest. I used to rehab birds,

and those baby birds were always my favorites. Lots of work, but so cute. From watching this, I think I was a most stressed mommy than the real mommy---she doesn't seem to fret like I did.

10. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Here's another nest near Bettendorf. I grew up less than a mile from this nest.

12. dern it....I keep missing all the good stuff by moments

14. That nest weighs a ton, according to the FAQ, and it's six feet across

and it's eighty feet off the ground, in a cottonwood tree. It was originally built in 2007.

Quoted from the FAQs below the cam screen.

And yes -- I have NO idea why watching this is so soothing!!!
