there is a nesting pair of redtails here that have set up shop on the veranda of a local 5 story dot-com company. the last two years the company has set up a camera fixed on the nest. much like the finches I found myself mesmerized watching the feed as the babies grew. the nest is out by the landfill water treatment plant so they fed on a variety of vittles. the parents brought back rats, squirrel, snakes, & lizards that they would devour. late in the season they somehow flung dung (remaining on topic) on the lens of the camera really short circuiting the show. the company leaves the nest, cleans the building after they vacate & have promised a better camera position & streaming effort. if they return this year on camera I will link it right here in DDB's one shinning moment (march madness hoops reference) thread...
