If you look now, you won't miss this spectacular sight: a family of redtail hawks at MIT! This link is a live feed, which has been going on since mid-April, and it's fascinating. The "babies" are about to fly--they practice in the nest--so you won't be able to observe them for much longer. I go to this site first thing in the morning at work, and just check in on them every now and again. I'm riveted!
For more scoop and commentary on them, there's a blog you can peruse.
Just so I can stay true to the intent of this blog, however, I'll put in a link to the best bird books around, too! David Sibley, who lives just north of Boston, has written and illustrated the most informative and gorgeous books since Audubon. Another reason to like David and buy his books, is that if you go to the publications section in his site, you'll be directed to click and find out where you can buy his books from a local, independent bookstore, not one of those online behemoths!
