Does anyone have a link to some nest cams? (slrpnk.net)

I used to watch a friends one over the summer. It was so exciting to see a bird arrive and take such diligent care of the space and her eggs. (The males appear to be mostly useless but some did return regularly with worms etc).

It led me to cancel Netflix because I was enjoying the nest cam more.

Edit: here's a great one of a blue tit. They'll be gone by the end of the summer, I think: https://webcam.sanslogic.co.uk/?top

Thanks for the recommendations. I'm not as interested in the big predators for whatever reason but there are some nice suggestions.

Birder drama always makes me sad.

Anyone else have their Blue Jays leave for winter? (lemm.ee)

If this don't fit just let me know Normally we have 2 or 3 families of blue jays around the property, but they've been gone.

A few stopped coming around mid November, then the rest were gone late November, not even hearing them.

I know they got weird migration patterns but I just wanted to check if that was a normal time for them to leave? I'm in midwest/south US
