Eagle Cam

I have hooked up my laptop computer in the classroom several times during the past few weeks so the children could watch the Eagle Cam.  It has been so exciting to see the eagle "mommy and daddy" take care of the three little eaglets.  Our eagle watching has inspired some amazing child-initiated art projects including the one shown below. 

Last week there was a HUGE fish clearly visible in the eagle's nest.  In the project shown below, the little girl drew and cut out a fish (far right) to include on the nest.  She drew and cut out the baby eagles in the center.  I am always so amazed at what these little ones come up with.  They are so creative!

Thanks for the post on Eagle Cam - this is a great idea and I would love to try it in my classroom too - I have also found a Barn Owl cam which ties in with a new story I have been reading to my three year old group. It is called "Wow! said the Owl" by Tim Hopgood - the story is about colours and very cute. For your reference - http://us.macmillan.com/wowsaidtheowl
