Don't you love webcams?

I've been watching one, through uCornell. It is located in Manitouwadge, Ontario. Tammie and Ben Haché run it. I've sent a donation to support the university bird website, since it opens up the rest of the feeder world to me! You can search for birds, their songs, and it helps ID them.

Tammie can be seen refilling the feeder and cleaning off the snow in the mornings. She has many varieties of birds. Here is a pine grosbeak (red) and an evening grosbeak.

The other morning, after a light snow, the grouse was there doggy-digging to get to the buried seeds. So fun to watch! I've taken a few screen captures, just for fun, since you miss a good show if you aren't watching it when the birds are there!

The grouse was there in the early morning. Tammie tells me that they spot themselves in the lens of the camera, sometimes. Hence their interesting reactions.
Several cats have been enjoying this, too!
Joanne's cat!



Tammie fills the feeder in the snow!
The grouse back again, Dec. 25th for food!

Beaver, videocam, and water levels

Did you know? There is a videocam in Gatineau, Quebec. You have to watch the ubiquitous CBC ad first. It's beyond me why they can make money off of someone else's live videocam... but that is just me!

The beaver habitat is located in Eco-Odyssée -- 200 hectacres of land that comprises a 30 hectacre marsh, agricultural fields and rolling mountains accentuated by mixed forest just outside the town of Wakefield, Québec.

From the Nature of Things: Watch the Beavers

It looks like a great private park. I have long-watched beavers in Ontario. This one (above) I spotted in Lanark County.

Here is a beaver pond I canoed on:
