Every time I play this, my cat Thatcher jumps on the counter and starts smelling my speakers...LOL.  Her pupils get all big and she gets hyper focused.

Dinkle, on the other hand, is in a cat coma and could care less.

I enjoyed the video and my cats reaction.:0)

Sparky, the little black foster dog, is lying beside me in a Dinkle-like coma, unresponsive to the bird noise. My cats, because Sparky the little black foster dog is lying beside me, are nowhere to be found, and thus I cannot scientifically gauge their reactions. As for me, my pupils are all big and I am hyper focused.

 

This is priceless, Amy.

Baby's just about to branch out on her own.  This reminds me- gonna go check up on those nesting eaglets!

Wow!!  The three eaglets took flight just this past week.  The update says we'll be seeing less and less of them.  Bye Bye birdies!!  So cool watching them grow!

Yeah, thanks for that Syd. When we looked in the Eaglet was eating a baby bird.

"Bye Bye birdies", indeed.

Noooooooooo!!!!!  That sucks.

*laughing at Syd*

's okay. It was like watching a Simpsons episode where some critter escapes death against all odds only to fly right into the open mouth of something bigger.

As Maynard from Tool says : Life feeds on life. *shrugs*

Nature is indeed brutal. 

Reminds me of a scene in "Creation" (you have to see that movie if you haven't already), where Darwin's family is picnicking on a pastoral shore of a lake.  His daughter points out a cute little bunny scurrying under a log.  Mama Darwin turns to hubby and says "How can anyone deny that this beauty was created for us by the hand of God?" 

Darwin gives an obligatory nod to his wife and then he looks over to the log and for the next couple of minutes, you see what's going on in his mind.  It's a time-lapse that sucks us into the brutal reality of what exactly happens on the unseen side of that felled log the bunny scampered under.

Great piece of film-making.
