The cam is on line. I received this email today from Sparky, it doesn't say not to post...so posting.


Hello there,

We're sending this to a select few viewers who have contributed so much to the DunedinOspreyCam.org web cam over the years.
We can't begin to tell you how much we have appreciated your help, suggestions and contributions of data and pictures.
You are the ones that have made this educational site the success that it is.

We would like to ask your help before we send out an e-mail blast to our thousands of viewers.

The City of Dunedin recently did a nice job of moving the camera further away from the nest.
This eliminates the overhead shots we had to deal with last year.
Also they moved the camera to a north facing view rather than south. This cuts down on the glare of facing south and also eliminates views of the putting green etc.

Our wonderful webmaster, Dan Zucker, cut down on the viewing range of the camera so people are focusing on the birds and not the Pinellas Trail, etc.

Fabulous news! We now have a microphone. This will really add a lot to the experience of watching the Ospreys this season.
Not quite as fabulous news: The microphone only seems to work on Internet Explorer.
We are working on getting info to let iPad and iPhone users know how to receive the audio feed in addition to the video aspect.

The controls on the camera are also different this year.
We are now working directly working off the controls of the Axis camera.
When you go to the home page, hit "Click Her to View to Live Camera" and then Click Here for Internet Explorer users. DO THIS no matter what you use as your browser.
Now you will see the controls for the camera: tilt/pan/zoom etc.

Here is a nice addition.
You will see where you are in the queue to take over the controls.
Every viewer gets 60 seconds, but this is pretty much okay since the only thing to look at this year is the nest and perch, unlike last year.

"Source" are presets for perch, nest, and zoom center

"Snapshot" is in the upper right hand corner.

Please check out the site and play with it.
Please give us suggestions on how to help viewers best navigate the site the way it is configured this year.
We will be sending out e-mails soon to our thousands of viewers soon and would appreciate your help in composing the message and instructions.

Also please continue to send pictures and data to contribute to the site.
Your contributions are so valuable!!!!
You are the ones that came up with the mating pictures, first egg pictures, first hatching pictures - all the fun stuff.
You are the folks that make DunedinOspreyCam.org work.

Thanks again for all of your help
