A cemetery is usually a place we associate with the end of life , not the beginning of it , but a Pennsylvania cemetery has flipped that script entirely with a sweet 2-minute video.
The Historic Easton Cemetery in the small town of Easton, Pennsylvania, has built a huge fan base with its viral footage of two bluebirds building a nest and raising a family over the course a month and a half. The cemetery shared that it had installed a birdhouse equipped with a solar-powered camera in the spring, and soon a bluebird couple showed up to check it out.
Clearly deciding that the house had good bones, the couple began building a nest, bringing in twigs and arranging them in a circular pattern, with the female creating a round spot to lay her eggs. On Day 13, she laid her first egg, then another, then another and another. On Day 30, the eggs began to hatch, and for the next couple of weeks we see the mom and dad take turns bringing the babies food.
It’s so simple, yet completely engaging to see the nesting cycle in its entirety—48 days edited down to just a few minutes. Watch:
