Here is the site that not only gives a map as to approximately where the NINE streaming webcams at SEVEN different locations are - but they provide accompanying sound. This particular site was created and is maintained by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) which is something similar to NPR in the USA.
The Organization that provides most of the cams is the Hancock Wildlife Org.
David Hancock is a local biologist and has been studying the bald eagle for more than 50 years - from Alaska to Florida. He lives here in B.C. He would lecture everywhere, trying to educate the public about conserving our wildlife and promoting science and stewardship. The introduction of these eagle cams has reached more people and educated far more than all the lectures he has given throughout the years.
In his own words:
"Shortly after we first put the Hornby nest camera up and the public started watching it in truly staggering numbers, I realized that in one short week we had reached out and influenced more people than I had spoken to or lectured to or taught in all my years as a biologist and travelling lecturer. The Internet, and live streaming wildlife cameras is the way to go."
The cam in White Rock (where I used to live) has two different views - the clearest - one up close and one that is wide angle. It is the best cam for viewing by far - and it gives a great view of the setting also. HIGH DEFINITION....amazing!!!
You can see much clearer than the West Virginia cam and the fact that there is SOUND - makes it much more interesting. The first egg has just hatched yesterday at the Surrey site cam, so if you missed all the excitement around hatching at the one in WV - you can watch the progress at this site!
