Āwheo has fledged! The Northern Royal Albatross Cam's star chick took flight over the Pacific Ocean on September 4 at 225 days old. We wish him well on his multi-year journey out at sea. Learn more about what's come for Āwheo at the link in the comments.

Take some advice from P2: Don't forget to stop and smell the flowers! 🌼 P1 & P2 are still exploring their Cornell campus territory, soaring, hunting, and spending time with Big Red & Arthur. Huge thanks to our BOGs & volunteers for keeping us up to date on their adventures.

Everyone's favorite Barred Owls returned for their 13th consecutive season on Bird Cams in 2026, and their breeding season gave us plenty of memorable moments. Watch a recap of this spring's highlights of the @WBU_Owls from the nest box in Indiana. allaboutbirds.org/cams/top-m…

We're aware of some camera fogging on the glass of the @FeederWatchCam at the @cornellbirds feeder garden. Front desk staff helpfully confirmed that the moisture appears to be inside the glass & we're running the camera's heater to see if the fog clears. Thx for your patience!
