WDFW - WildWatchCams

The State of Washington's Department of Fish and Wildlife shares some of its research, some of it live:

Newly available and affordable technologies in surveillance equipment and web-based information sharing have created an exciting opportunity. We combined these two technologies to create a new wildlife research tool -- one that we want to share that with you. We call these WildWatchCams.

We use high-quality miniature security cameras to observe wildlife from a safe, non-intrusive distance; and broadband Internet transmissions to bring live views of wildlife to our biologists' desks and to your home...

As of post time, the options included an EagleCam, a BluebirdCam, a MartinCam, a BatCam, a SealCam, a HeronCam, a SalmonCam, and an OwlCam.

The program depends in part on donations, as well as revenue from personalized license plates.
