The Two Towers, the heavy Spanish accents

Who cares if you can't understand them; they're hot! A fan-made recreation of The Two Towers, from a group of twentysomething Spaniards.

Streaming Eagle Cam 3.0: Swartz Bay

Well, the original eagle cam is done for the year; no hatching eggs means a lot of disappointed readers (and not a few conspiracy theorists, I might add) so the Hornby Island team has found a new nest, with chicks, near the Swartz Bay ferry terminal on Vancouver Island. FYI This is the ferry that takes people to Vancouver from Victoria…only it's not really very close to Victoria…it's complicated.

Anyway, the link is the same: Streaming Eagle Cam Swartz Bay this time.

And here's a pair of Peregrine Falcons in Harrisburg, with chicks.

And my previous posts on eagles:

2006 Kentucky Derby; warning, horse-nerd alert!

He's been out of competition for weeks; are Barbaro's owners going for the Triple Crown? I hope so, damn thing hasn't been won in almost twenty years because of greedhead owners skipping the Preakness because it's too close to the Derby and any horse who runs only one stands a better chance of winning. A well-rested horse who bypasses the rich competing races and concentrates, can make history this year. Especially if he has this much talent.

PS Damn, no bourbon for Mint Juleps! But with this on YouTube, I can have Derby Day any day I feel like it!

We Like the Moon!

God, do we love it! Working through my YouTube obsession, here is my very favoritiest music video ever, from RatherGood, the Spongmonkeys (note spelling!) performing their hit We Like the Moon.
