“The Sierra Club has a list of six bird webcams where you can watch the great adventures of spring. Among others, you can spy on cranes, whose vocalizations entertain even when the sky is black and there’s little to see; puffins, whose antics one viewer described as “perfection”; and a variety of species on the Mississippi River, although passers-by at that site can be less cooperative in spring. If these migration-cams aren’t exciting enough for you, perhaps you’d prefer to watch the nesting behavior of barred owls, bald eagles, or the evocatively-named Hellgate ospreys.”
“UT's Falcon Cam -- the peregrine called Tower Girl is sitting on four eggs right now. Every now and then you can catch her mate spelling her so she can go hunt! She's been nesting on the UT tower for several years but has never hatched an egg successfully, so we're all crossing our fingers for her.”
“Pitt Peregrine Falcon Nest Cam, perched near the top of the tallest educational building in the Western hemisphere. Hope, the resident female, has a history of eating at least one of her chicks each year as it hatches so viewer beware - but as far as I can recall she's always raised at least a couple, and this year she's laid five eggs so odds seem good there will be chicks to watch about a month from now.”
“Following the progress of the DuBois Falcon Cam at UMass, Amherst (no excitement yet; it's been cold here). New nesting pair. No successful eggs last year. Fingers crossed for this year!”
The Harrisburg Falcon Cam. Color! Night vision! 24-hour falcon viewing!
PG&E may be in the news for a bunch of crappy things lately, but they've been consistently good hosts to the Peregrine Falcons of downtown SF. 3 eggs from a clutch of 4 hatched about a week ago. They are still tiny white fuzzbutts!
The UC Berkeley campanile is hosting the Berkeley falcons. Two cameras, three eggs so far.
Two great collections of bird cams.
