As regular CFZ-watchers will know, for some time Corinna has been doing a column for Animals & Men and a regular segment on On The Track... particularly about out-of-place birds and rare vagrants. There seem to be more and more bird stories from all over the world hitting the news these days so, to make room for them all - and to give them all equal and worthy coverage - she has set up this new blog to cover all things feathery and Fortean.

Bird watchers from around the globe are keeping an eye on a pair of eagles nesting in Florida


NBC NATIONAL NEWS — A Florida eagle cam has gone viral in just two short months.
In October, Dick Pritchett Real Estate spent thousands to install an infrared camera above an eagle's nest on their North Fort Myers property.

The images are broadcast live 24/7 on the internet.

The stream shows the two bald eagles nicknamed Harriet and Ozzie's every move.
Realtor Andy Pritchett told us Wednesday they can't believe how many people have logged on.

"The best part is watching them eat," said Pritchett.

He said the camera has already chronicled the animal's every triumph and challenge.
"Everybody has a fascination with eagles. Whether it is our nation's symbol or because they're magnificent creatures," remarked Pritchett.
