Bird watching is one of the most popular pastimes on the globe. The Internet allows bird lovers to get their avian fix online, thanks to innumerable "bird cams" -- live video cameras aimed at nests and other places where birds congregate.
One of the most popular "bird cams" on the Web is focused on a pair of nesting bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) in Canada's British Columbia, near the city of Victoria on Vancouver Island.
A video camera is mounted on a crane about 100 feet from the nesting couple. Visitors to the site have watched live as the couple hatched their eaglets; now they can watch the couple raise the birds.
