The audio is fantastic! I can hear birds chirping and wind rustling the trees.
Watch life as it happens for the next 2 months.
First Egg Laid!
We're pleased to announce that the 1st egg of this season was spotted Friday evening around 5:45 Eastern time.
While we cannot predict how many eggs will be laid this year, a typical clutch consists of 1-3 eggs. If a second egg is to be laid, it will likely appear in the next several days.

Remember to refill your outside bird and critter feeders.
One of these guys has been hunting all around my home lately.
Actually spotted it stalking from my porch rail.
