Audubon California is quickly coming around to the realization that the potential of web video to engage people in our work is nearly limitless. Pete DeSimone down at Starr Ranch has done some amazing things with video and live webcams. But nothing that I've seen in this area matches the incredible story of the Bald Eagle Chicks on The Nature Conservancy's preserve on Santa Cruz Island. Since early spring, the eagles' nest has been captured on a live webcam, and an entire community of enthusiasts has built up online. Which came in handy when, on May 19, another eagle attacked the nest. Someone who was watching the webcam quickly made some calls and rescue workers from the Institute for Wildlife Studues -- which is directly overseeing Bald Eagle restoration on Santa Cruz -- were scrambled. The call probably saved the lives of the rare chicks. TNC followed up with expert interviews and additional updates. You can view the webcam and catch up on the story here.
