Wildlife Web cam status

All cams off-line as of May 10, 2004

About these photos: Many of these photos were taken from a remote location inside of Bluebird nest boxes. All were triggered using automatic motion-detection and some were triggered manually. A small infrared wired camera with infrared L.E.D. lights delivered some of the photos. Fixed and mobile daylight cams were used for other photos. Vision GS BE web cam software was used to enable the cameras to work through a computer. I often switch between the 2 connected web cams.

Note: These cams now run in the winter, during day and night, and show the live temperature!

These nest box efforts and their documentation on this web site are a hobby and are managed on my own time. Though I offer tips on my successes, I don't claim to be a wildlife or technical expert, I am a novice who researches, experiments, and reports the findings to this web site. Non-profit educational organizations, students, and any wildlife/conservation proponents (indiv. or org.) may freely link to this site. Those same parties may also use the photos, but I ask that you make an attempt to include credits if possible.
