Bob writes - Your "Animals caught on tape" article reminded me of my project last year, where I put a webcam in a bird house and captured videos of the nest, the eggs, the babies, and feedings. At my web site, I have a page describing the construction of the bird house and the software I used. Excellent video - nature documentaries are seeming easier everyday!
