You can now go Birding on your computer! You can get live video of birds and even a close up view of the inside of their nests over the Internet. This trend is becoming very popular on web sites that have web cams recording threatened birds breeding success or just watching backyard bird feeders. These BirdCams can now let you use your computer to have a close-up "A Bird's Eye View". We've started a list of the sites you can surf on the Internet to go "Click-Birding".

Some things to know:
The BirdCam pop-up windows are examples of where "bigger is not necessarily better". If they pop-up small; that's ok. You will most likely get a better video if you keep the window small because of the amount of dots per inch that the camera is recording and transmitting.
