Google will allow "emergency disclosures" of video footage to the police from its Nest cameras, without a warrant.

Here's a neat passage-of-time video that offers an inside look at a mother bird building a home inside a new birdhouse. It goes from empty nest to the first egg in the span of less than 8 minutes.

Here's a cute little video that shows what happened when As Goprod set up a camera next to the next of an owl family. After the mother flies away, the little baby owls come out to investigate the mysterious object that showed up out of nowhere.

Photographer Dona Schwartz, a professor of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Minnesota, has an interesting pair of photo projects titled "On the Nest" and "Empty Nesters". The first shows portraits of expecting parents as they prepare to welcome a new member of the family. The second features portraits of parents who are coping with an empty house after their children have grown up and moved out.
