Hello all, Many of you may have watched as we installed the two cameras that now sit on the snag in the middle of Sapsucker Woods pond. Given how active the herons have been over the last few days, we're excited to launch the cams to the local birding community so you can begin enjoying the unique perspective afforded by the two snag-mounted cams. The female just laid her first egg last night, and if past years are any indication, could lay as many as three more!
We'll be running two channels devoted to the heron's nesting attempt that will both be featured at http://www.allaboutbirds.org/cornellherons The first channel will feature the upper-mounted camera during the day in HD and with the ability to pan, tilt, and zoom if needed to see the action. During the night it will feature the video from the lower wide-angle/lowlight cam. The second channel will feature the view from the lower wide-angle camera during daylight hours to provide a different perspective on the herons' activities. Hope you enjoy the sights and sounds as much as we have over the past few days, and we apologize in advance for the lost productivity :) charles. -- Charles Eldermire BirdCams Project Leader Cornell Lab of Ornithology 159 Sapsucker Woods Rd Ithaca, NY 14850 607-254-1131 -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
