The Perfect Nest by Catherine Friend
Jack the cat is building the perfect nest. It’s bound to attract the perfect chicken, who will lay the perfect egg, which will make the perfect omelet. And sure enough, a chicken shows up “¡Caramba!”, but so do a duck “Sacré bleu!” and a goose “Great balls of fire!”. Feathers get ruffled — and Jack gets much more than breakfast — in a funny tale rich in detail with a sweet final twist.

After reading the fiction story, The Perfect Nest, kindergarten students will look at a live eagles nest. Why is this nest the perfect nest?

About The Eagle Cam

The 2016-2017 season is the fifth season Dick Pritchett Real Estate has provided the live look into the Southwest Florida nest. The SouthWest Florida Eagle Cam has been providing 24/7 live video stream of an active pair of bald eagles in their nest since 2012. Watching the live feed allows viewers to observe the life of an eagle first-hand. “Eagles are wild birds and anything can happen in the wild. The Southwest Florida Eagle Camera (SWFEC) does not interfere or intervene and allows nature to take its course. You will see life and you might see death, but this is nature at her finest.”
