Have fun and help science from virtually anywhere with an internet connection!

Since 1999, our cameras mounted near nests have shown live, online images of birds courting, mating, laying eggs, and raising young. Internet visitors can view the nesting cycle unfold without human disturbance and witness behaviors that are beautiful, fascinating, and extraordinary.

Our archived cams have documented nearly 90 nesting attempts by 17 bird species including Barn Owls, Osprey, bluebirds, and more, across N. America. Visitors can also explore the amazing array of photos and videos, including high definition footage of breeding behavior from the Macaulay library.

Now we are enhancing this learning experience by introducing, CamClickr, a year-round citizen science project carried out completely online that allows cam viewers to "tag" and classify breeding behaviors from our archived images. CamClickr will help us answer questions that can only be answered using the cams while providing scientists with a tool to search and sort images once they are tagged. It's fun, easy, and promises to change the way you think about breeding behavior! Try it for yourself and see if you can become the top CamClickr!
