New York City Audubon has placed a web cam on an island in New York Harbor where cranes are nesting. Part of the Harbor Herons Project, the Crane Cam lets people watch nesting herons closely without disturbing the birds. New York City Audubon hopes that people will be interested in learning more about these threatened birds and in helping to protect them. Snowy Egrets, Great Egrets, Glossy Ibis, and Black-crowned Night Herons all nest on islands in New York Harbor.
The best times to watch the Crane Cam are early morning and evening, as the birds forage for food in nearby wetlands during the day.
