A new bald eagle nest cam has begun livestreaming from Minnesota. Viewers can watch live as the wild raptor pair builds their nest and raise their young.

I have a couple of rescues. They all watch when I put a bird feeder on the TV. But only one of them tries to "catch" the birds. Cracks me up.
Mind you, there's a feeder right outside their fav windows in our house. They barely care about those "live* birds. 🙄
I remember going to an bird presentation in Texas back in 2016. The lady presenting had a bald eagle too. She scolded the entire crowd because apparently she expected us to stand when the eagle was brought out.
Defund eagle nests! Jk, was simply pointing out how ludicrous it is for MTG to cut NPR funding. Of course, fascists don't want an intelligent proletariat or people. "we love the uneducated"
I know radio isn't a particularly linguistic medium, but be careful to pick a conjugation. "Builds their next and raises their young" or "Build their nest and raise their young." Not one of each. That's right, I'm "that guy." And I also like watching raptors!
Hi, I’m Collins. I’m starting a 4 year project to track certain metrics we tend to use as indicators of being a successful country. These are not all inclusive and don’t reflect my values. It’s just the few data points I could easily find from consistent sources. Any feedback is welcome.
These are mostly economic indicators, I'd look for others: mass shootings, school shootings, prison population, literacy, homeless population, election fairness score (there's a global org for this), soccer fields per capita, %fossil fuels, number of cyber trucks (negative indicator), etc
Thank you for your feedback and interests! I currently have school shootings already.
I strived to have mostly economic indicators. Sadly I believe that’s what “average joe” voters care about.
I want to keep the scope and metrics of this as simple as possible.
Thank you for catching that! It has been corrected.
I was trying to keep the scope of this at a very macro level just comparing the U.S. performance during this next admin. I didn’t want to get involved in comparisons of other nations. Though I do think that is valuable.
Fantastic! I love this eagle cam. I have been to two large nests along Keller Lake in St.Paul to observe and photograph the eagles. Ty for sharing @npr.org. 🦅

These nest cams got me through the pandemic. It was so calming to watch nature go on while we humans burn the place down.

I like watching the Live Cams from Cornell.

I just refuse to take those birds seriously now.

Have you thought about comparing ranking against other OECD counties?
This might give you some more ideas -

And of course thanks for your time and interest!
Cheers!

Also, you should be able to automate a lot of the data grabbing using macros and the import functions in sheets.
