| Summary: | Bookmark this site now! The Cornell Lab of Ornithology sponsors this website that provides live feed from cameras trained on bird nests. You can watch a wide variety of birds as they tend their nests. See eggs, hatchlings, and watch the mama and papa birds feed their young. This is a fascinating view of the world of birds | ||
| Description: | When you get to the site you'll see some featured birds as well as a drop-down menu that says "Select A Live Camera". Click on it and choose which birds you want to watch including: *Peregrine Falcon *Chimney Swift *Eastern Bluebird *American Robin *Northern Cardinal *Northern Flicker *Barn Owl *Great Crested Flycatcher *Wood Duck *Tree Swallow *Carolina Wren ~ and more! Click on any one, and a new page opens where the live cam will launch for your viewing delight. You can also see photo and video highlights from the nesting season, and you can participate in a forum discussion. Want to help scientists learn more about birds? Then, become a CamClickr as described at the website: "CamClickr is a year-round citizen science project carried out completely online that allows cam viewers to "tag" and classify breeding behaviors from our archived images. CamClickr will help us answer questions that can only be answered using the cams while providing scientists with a tool to search and sort images once they are tagged. It's fun, easy, and promises to change the way you think about breeding behavior! Try it for yourself and see if you can become the top CamClickr!" To become a CamClickr, simply click on "Learn More" on the menu at the top of the page. This is a wonderful demonstration of how science and technology blend to create amazing learning opportunities for us all. This site earns a ClickSchooling Award (CSAW) for excellence. |
