I decided to introduce this live stream to my students today. They LOVE it! They all asked, “Are we going to watch when the eggs hatch?” We learned about owls and other birds of prey last semester. This is a great tool to reinforce the ecology that our students are learning! Thank you!

Each computer and browser option receives the stream in it’s own way, and the streaming technology used sometimes requires a buffering delay. iOS devices (iPhones and iPads) require an http stream which arrives in chunks and various size groups of packets, which then need to be put together in the right order and played at the correct speed. This requires a buffer so that even though they arrive in fits and starts, they can be played in a smooth stream. The buffer is just about 30 seconds long. Other browsers can use a Flash player which handles the stream with less delay, but which might be susceptible to hiccoughs when there are transmission delays.

Anyone have an explanation?

We’re glad to have you visit! Try looking us up on Google Maps to get an idea of the countryside around here Google this:
The Rookery
Tidewater Way
Savannah, GA 31411
which is an island in a lagoon where dozens of great egrets nest and raise their young – if you move due east from there on the map (in satellite view), you will see a couple lagoons just before the marsh. These are the lagoons you can see when the camera’s zoomed out. We have 8 to 10′ tides so the marsh is very dynamic and provides the foundation for the food chain here – the owl is an apex predator (they hunt, but no one’s hunting them in general..) Enjoy!

We are so lucky here in Chatham County to have such an active group of wild bird lovers! What a great look into the life of the Great Horned Owl in our coastal community.
