The Eagles are Viral!
Last month I did a post about the Decorah Eagles on Ustream. I have two friends that have be addicted to watching them for the last several weeks. Well my friends are not the only people watching. Today NPR reports that 11 million people are watching! Checkout the NPR story.

Ustream - Live wild animals in your room!
A good friend of mine had links to some cool live feeds of animals on her Face Book pages last night. They where form Ustream. There was a live feed of an eagles nest and another of a nesting box with several (6 I think) owl chicks. I think this would be so much fun to incorporate into a science lesson or for an enrichment project with the kids. I would pick a time of day that you log on and watch the birds for 5 min and then you can keep a journal about what they do. You could use the journal for a story prompt later. It would also be fun to see if they are doing the same thing at the same time every day. I do not know a lot about Ustream but I will be finding out more to pass on. Do be aware that there is a chat feature on the owls and you can see what others are saying. I am not sure if you can had that or not. As with any live feed you never know what you are going to see. I did not see much last night. The chat on the owls said that they had a live cricket for dinner the night before!
