Project Puffin Webcam - Seal Island, Maine

September 09, 2007 By: Human Category: N American Wildlife Webcams, Bird Watch Cams No Comments →

Project Puffin was started by the Audubon Society in 1973 in an effort to restore puffins

to historic nesting islands in the Gulf of Maine. Although the Atlantic Puffin is not an endangered species (they are abundant in Newfoundland, Iceland, and Britain), they were nearly locally extinct in Maine. These days there are more than 700 nesting pairs on four Maine islands - a true conservation victory !
Atlantic Puffin

Puffins are often confused with penguins. They have similar colors, and both swim under water using their wings as fins, but they are not related and live at opposite polar ends of the world. Unlike penguins puffins have not lost their ability to fly. Puffins do not come to land outside of the breeding season, flying, swimming or riding the ocean surface throughout the year regardless of weather.

Peregrine Falcon Webcams - Northern Ireland

June 30, 2007 By: Human Category: Bird Watch Cams No Comments →

This is a twin site project that follows 2 peregrine sites. Both falcon populations are located at a different stone quarry in Northern Ireland. These are the Kilrea Quarry and the Carrowdore Quarry. Both locations have their own live webcams, with video highlights, and an automatic recording of the last 24 hours.

Although these are not streaming cameras and there is no sound, the image refreshes every 2 seconds, which is pretty good ! Also the webcam setup allows each online viewer some controls like panning ( by clicking and dragging in the image) and zooming (right click - Zoom In).

Watch this short video highlight from the Carrowdore webcam.

Some additional cool features this peregrine webcam site offers are: 1. Ask The Experts Section, where you can ask your questions about peregrines and other raptors and read answers to past questions. 2. Did you know …? section, with interesting info about peregrines, other raptors and stone quarries. 3. Quarryman’s Diary - blog of the Project Manager for each of the 2 peregrine sites. 4. Data Trends and Analysis. 5. Quarry Timeline & Location.

Osprey Webcam at Blackwater Refuge

June 10, 2007 By: Human Category: Bird Watch Cams No Comments →

The Osprey cam is located on the Blackwater NWR in Cambridge, Maryland. This camera is pointed at an osprey (fishhawk) nesting platform mounted on a tall pole about 20 ft above the ground. The image refreshes every 60 seconds. The camera is also equipped with infrared vision so images are also available at night except  for the hours between 11pm and 3am. During this 4 hour period images are not sent to the site to save bandwidth. Chances are viewers are not missing much action during this time as the adult osprey pair prefer roosting in the high branches of nearby trees.

Blackwater Osprey Cam

Some of the additional features the site has are osprey facts page, the osprey weblog, osprey cam Q & A page, gallery of past cam images. There is the Blackwater Refuge Store, where you can buy birdhouse spy cams, Blackwater Osprey Ts, hats & caps, and osprey books. By doing so you will be suporting the refuge.

US Fish & Wildlife Service Eagle Cam

June 03, 2007 By: Human Category: Bird Watch Cams No Comments →

This is a low-tech live Internet camera that updates every 30 seconds. The camera is pointed at the nest of a Bald Eagle pair. The nest is located by the Potomac River in West Virginia at the National Conservation Training Center in Shepherdstown, WV.

FWS Eagles

The eagles built the nest in 2004 and since then have successfully raised eaglets for the past 3 years. This spring the eggs did not hatch due to cold weather. The pair is expected to try again very soon.

The site has several features like nest history/updates, fun eagle facts, and daily blog where you can see the eagle images other viewers captured in the camera.
