The following web cams were all working and worth a visit on September 15, 2008. Remember to adjust for time differences and watch at the right time of day!
The Lost Gardens of Heligan Birdfeeder cam (England): This cam, operated by eco-watch, shows three views of bird feeding stations. Camera one is the most rewarding during the day, but the cameras operate round the clock, so watch for foxes and badgers on camera three at night. The pictures refresh every ten seconds. Scroll down on the site to see pictures of common birds at the feeder.
Grey Seals on The Isle of May in the Firth of Forth, Scotland: A web cam of the Scottish Seabird Centre, this camera show multitudes of nesting seabirds in spring and summer but fall brings grey seals to the beaches to pup and breed. The camera, which refreshes every five to ten seconds shows various views of the rugged and beautiful island, including lots of the beach (no seals yet on Sept 15).
Barn Owls in Texas: Courtesy of the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, watch live streaming video of a family of Barn Owls roosting in a box. Six owlets occupy the box with their parents and information on the site indicates they will start to fly soon. The parents, meanwhile, bring food to the box and viewers can watch the owlets feeding.
The Great Alaskan Red Squirrel Cam: Two cameras aimed at red squirrel feeding stations show squirrels and other wildlife. The pictures refresh about every two minutes. Visit the blog for some great squirrel pictures.
Seabirds in Alaska—Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology: This camera, hosted by the Pratt Museum in Kachemak Bay, Alaska, shows live streaming video of the multitude of seabirds on Gull Island. Practice your seabird identification skills: kittiwakes, murres, gulls, cormorants, puffins, and guillemots all visit the island (thought they may not all be there now).
