How does the Web cam work?
The camera is about 30 feet off the ground in a very tall tree pointed toward the nest. It was positioned in this tree with the help of Bill Hanson from Florida Power and Light. It has both a standard lens and an infrared lens for collecting images at night. It gets power and sends the video through a very long cable that goes through the forest to a computer, where it then travels through a DSL connection to you.
Wing Goodale from the Biodiversity Research Institute is the person we have to thank for setting up and maintaining this web camera. You may notice that sometimes you'll be very close to the eagles and other times the camera will be pulled back. That's because Wing can make the camera zoom in and out. So you never know what you'll get today!
