Resource:Aviary Cam
Provider:Monterey Bay Aquarium
Summary:With our live web cam, peek into our Aviary for an adventure in birdwatching
Description:"Our aviary cam provides an adventure in birdwatching, as we're never sure who'll stroll on camera. Today's sightings might include a black-necked stilt with long red legs built for wading. As the bird strides out across the mud, it may keep walking and picking insects till it's feeding in water up to its belly. If you spot a bird with a long, bright-red beak, large pink feet and yellow eyes, it's a black oystercatcher. An oystercatcher uses its beak to probe the sand for worms and crabs. Nearly all the birds you see in the aviary have been rescued from the wild. We assist the local wildlife center in caring for injured birds. Those that fully recover are returned to the wild. Our live web cams offer a look at marine life in our exhibits and off our oceanfront decks from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Pacific Time. They're also a gateway to information about ocean habitats and conservation topics."
