Real-time streams from feeders, nests, and wildlife sanctuaries across the globe. Pull up a chair — nature is streaming.
⚲Sapsucker Woods, Ithaca, New York
The Cornell Lab of Ornithology's flagship feeder cam overlooking Sapsucker Woods pond. One of the most-watched bird cams in the world, active since 2012. Watch dozens of species visit throughout the day — peak activity at dawn and dusk.
There is something meditative about watching birds go about their day — the squabble at the feeder, the patient incubation of eggs, the first wobbly flight of a fledgling.
All streams are free, courtesy of conservation organizations like the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Explore.org. Streams may go offline for maintenance or between nesting seasons.
