A little more than a week ago I shared the news of , a wonderful new webcam of a pigeon couple tending to their eggs on a West End balcony . It was set up by my friends James and Ceone and I was fortunate to view the nest with my own two eyes yesterday.

Once you've fallen in love with this project I would like to kindly nudge you to make a small donation like I just did ($5? $20?) in order to help them pay for the streaming service and other related fees that they've incurred while bringing us all a look into the lives of these cute city critters. They're obviously not doing this to profit but it'd be sweet if we could all pitch in and lend a hand. Click the DONATE button below and send them some love if you feel so inclined.
