United States birds nests’ research

This video from the USA says about itself:

Learn how illustrator Pedro Fernandes is creating a new poster of nesting birds for the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s NestWatch citizen-science project.

From the 2012 NestWatch Year in Review, by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in the USA. They coordinate counts of bird nests in various states in the USA.

I have walked past that lab. I live a few hours away from there. I haven’t been up there since high school when I was putting out applications for colleges and visiting schools. They have a nice animal science and equestrian program. Was just saying.
Oh and btw, check out my post on Flying Squirrels, Flying Fish, etc…I was able to put a video in. Thanks for your instructions. They really helped me. I appreciate your help. That blog post about the flying frog was very inspiration but I love all your posts.

  Most definitely. I think people would rather see a video rather than a picture. Videos show more action and defend a point and prove the validity of something more so than a picture. Pictures can be faked and nine times out of ten a video cannot be. Thanks again.

    True; but sometimes a good photo is better than a not so good video.
