Webresource: Animal Live Cams

Dear WildCam Fan,

http://magma.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/sealcam/index.html
We are adding a new feature to our SealCam -- live remote
control of the camera. Mary Benefiel, your community advisor,
will be operating the camera live for one hour each day. You
will be able to chat online with Mary while she remotely
operates the system. You can even suggest the direction in which
she pans the camera. Together, you can explore the elephant
seals and their habitat more closely -- zoom in on
elephant seal
pups or watch as male seals fight off challengers. From time to
time, we will also bring in a guest natural history interpreter
to answer your questions about the seals.

Before we begin this live control of the camera, we want your input!
What hour of the day do you most actively watch SealCam? What
time of day do you want to watch live SealCam camera operation?

Bald Eagle Cam Update: We have all anxiously watched and waited together for a renesting of the eagle pair. The BioDiversity Research Institute, our partners in Bald Eagle Cam, have updated us
on the status of a possible renest.

From Wing Goodale, Research Biologist:

"For a while I was sanguine that the birds would renest --

mating on the nest site, working on the nest. However, we are
now well past the May 6th date of the latest recorded nesting of
eagles in Maine and the amount of time that the birds are
spending at the nest is decreasing. If there was a 1 in a 100
chance of them renesting three weeks ago, we are now in the
1 in 10,000. Nature is hard to predict." A big thank you to all of our WildCam community members who have been posting your observations of the eagles. It has been a remarkable season -- we have had the opportunity to have a unique view into the challenges that eagles face as they try to successfully raise chicks. What’s next? Bald Eagle Cam will remain online as we anticipate that the birds will maintain their territory. You can expect to see the eagles return to the nest site throughout the rest of the year. So keep in touch with Bald Eagle Cam.

it will take you to a Dutch website. It has 6 images of photos and each
image, when clicked, will take you to a webcam focussed on a nest with
chicks of that bird, going on right now!



Both falcons and the "Boerenzwaluw" are most clear to see. Enjoy.
