Have you ever watched our live Bird Cams? They give you a backstage pass into the secret lives of birds—see what we mean with these endearing highlights from our 2024 season.

Watch Five Kestrel Chicks Fledge in a Flash

Here’s one of our favorite moments from 2024: the day when all five adorable American Kestrel chicks fledged from their nest box in Wisconsin. Watch this compilation as they take turns at the nest entrance before spreading their wings for the first time. 

Nectar: It’s Not Just for Hummingbirds

If you keep hummingbird feeders, you probably know that orioles and other birds sometimes show up to sneak a sip. It’s no different in the tropics—watch as a brilliant Bananaquit bellies up alongside a Rufous-tailed Hummingbird and uses its pointy, curved bill to sip some sweet nectar on our Panama Fruit Feeder Cam.
