Click Birding!Live Birding over the Internet
|

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 birdcams are running in a video streaming mode where the picture
is almost continuous and others are on still image delay with the camera
recording an image every 5 seconds (Birds look a little jumpy, but it
can be fun). With the video streaming mode you have to have the software
to enable your computer to run the video, programs like RealOne Player
or Windows Media Player are good to use. Most of the sites will offer
you a link to download the free software if you do not already have
it in order to get up and running.

If you know of others that we should add
to our list, please email their url address to us. Since many of
these BirdCams are run by non-profit organizations, please lend your
support to their organizations.
NOTE: THE ONGOING NEST CAM ACTION HAPPENS SO FAST DAY PER DAY THAT WE WILL NOT BE UP TO THE MINUTE ON FACTS LIKE "HOW MANY EGGS?" FIND YOUR FAVORITES AND RETURN TO THEM TO FIND THE UPDATES. (Updated link check May 13, 2014) |
