Video from the nest; America from RFK's funeral train

Video from the nest: "The Internet Bird Collection (IBC) is a non-profit endeavour with the ultimate goal of disseminating knowledge about the world's avifauna. It is an on-line audiovisual library of footage of the world's birds that is available to the general public free of charge."

Despite an intimidating taxonomy of Latin names, you can just search "cardinal" or "robin" to see your favorite backyard birds, as well as browse many more exotic ones. Here's a Northern Cardinal video, one of several. And a European Turtle Dove.

There were no results for "bluebird of happiness," though.

My screengrabber can't grab a frame, and the search results aren't linkable. You're on your own here, but it's worth it.

Witnesses: The Fallen | The New York Times

On June 8, 1968, Paul Fusco, then a photographer for Look Magazine, was a passenger aboard the train carrying Robert F. Kennedy's coffin between New York City and Washington.

He photographed the people along the route who came out to pay their respects.

While the images have been strung together into a video, narrated by the photographer, moving your cursor along the progress bar pops up thumbnails of each shot. They can be selected, and paused.
