[Ed Ray <edrayosprey@xxxxxxxxx>]

Lots of action can currently be viewed at our KY Internet bird nesting live 
cams.
 
Our two on camera Lake Barkley Osprey chicks are being fed a lot of fish and 
are growing very fast.  Note the white stripe down the center of each chick's 
back, no doubt an effective camo helping to visually blend the chicks into the 
surrounding nest sticks.  
 
The Caldwell Co. Bluebird cam nest has a second nesting in progress with a 3rd 
egg likely arriving today.  Heath Elementary at Paducah has a third on camera 
Bluebird nesting in progress with a second egg to arrive soon.  Look for a new 
Bluebird egg each day until the clutches are complete. 
 
New real time images can be seen about every 30 seconds during daylight hours. 
For larger images select the nest of your choice from the left side of the page 
at the main Cornell nest page and to view the following features: One of the 
best images from each day is saved by Cornell with staff comments and is posted 
with each active nest. Guests viewing the nests can now ask questions and 
receive answers from our KY hosts.  A direct link to the nests is available 
from the KEEP web page at: http://www.biology.eku.edu/KEEP.html and from the 
Kentucky Bluebird Society web page http://www.biology.eku.edu/kybluebirds.html 
 
The two teachers hosting the above cams have earned "Teacher of the Year" 
honors at their respective elementary schools since beginning these projects 
which likely contributed to their selection.  We now have 20 schools with nest 
box cameras which include real time images (no freeze frame) and sound. 40 of 
our schools are now managing Bluebird "trails" as part of their life science 
studies. Five free NABS approved KBS Bluebird boxes are available for all KY 
schools wishing to participate.
