Critter Cams

Each Spring, thousands of web cams start streaming video as wildlife prepares new homes and starts to raise their young. We've reviewed many and recommend these sites as some of the most fun and most unusual. Simply click on any critter image to open a window to that critter cam site. We'll continue to add more as the season progresses.

BALD EAGLE	Very popular with three new eaglets (4/2/11). The Raptor Resource Project brings you the Decorah Eagles from atop their tree at the fish hatchery in Decorah, Iowa. The live video feed is streamed online 24/7. At night an infrared light provides night vision to viewers through the cam. Infrared light is not visible to eagles, they do not see it or know it is there.
BARN OWL	Hard to say, but it appears there are four owlets in this nest.
SANDHILL CRANES	From the Rowe Sanctuary in Nebraska on the Platte River. This area is the resting point for nearly a half million sandhill cranes during Spring migration. The cranes leave in the morning and return in the evening. The sound of so many birds in one spot is really something. Put this place on your bucket list for mid-March and you will have a lifetime experience.
RED-TAILED HAWKS	Twelve years ago, a pair of red-tailed hawks moved into Briarwood in Queens, NY and luckily they adapted well to their new home.
HUMMINGBIRDS	The young fledged on April 6, 2011 but the site has plenty of fun recorded video.
PEREGRINE FALCONS	The BioDiversity Research Institute's live Peregrine Falcon webcam. The camera is remotely deployed to view one of Maine's 23 known pairs of Peregrine Falcons. It provides live video of this nesting pair 24 hours a day and is equipped with low light color vision.
PEREGRINE FALCONS	A well placed webcam in a nesting box with several eggs (4/14/11). These live images are being taken from a Peregrine falcon nest maintained by ODNR, Division of Wildlife. The nest and cams are located on the 41st floor of the Rhodes State Office Tower in Columbus, Ohio. The video is in the Windows Media format and is available in Eastern Time.
