The red shouldered hawks were observed to have nested in the same yard in Allendale for 4 years. Conserve Wildlife Foundation and Fyke Nature Association had hoped to have captured this nesting this year with a nest camera, but the hawks have shifted their nests, reports NJ.
The red shouldered hawk, Laura, and her mate was found to be living in another tree in Allendale. Thus, the collaboration between Fyke Nature Association and Conserve Wildlife Foundation has decided to introduce a webcam which will be having infra-red light, which could possibly allow night vision to observe hawk activities. This camera will give the users a very rare experience to have a glimpse in to the lives of hawks, which are quickly becoming an endangered species. They plan to make the secret life of hawks visible to the public eye by putting this one of its kind cam on sale, reports Daily Record.
Although the initial plan to capture the lives of these red shouldered hawks has gone awry due to their movement, scientists are hopeful that they could still manage to get the details about their day-to-day lives and capture it through this infra- red cam. Also, there is no proof that the hawks will again nest on the same tree, but the researchers are hopeful that they will definitely make their come back to Allendale.
There is plenty of enthusiasm amongst bird watchers, who are willing to pay huge money to buy these night vision hawk cams. Many such bird viewing cams have gain popularity recently. One such example is the eagle cam which was installed in Pittsburgh.
