Came across this neat Wildlife Project based throughout N America and Canada observing wildlife via camera on the Internet and reporting various facts to help the Researchers. Its Neat
Not new .... been running 18 months .... but is low profile at present

Note: Temujin has already opened up an account for our Team
They have created a BOINC Credit scheme with it, that will not set the World on Fire, but gives a small incentive to do it. Observing each of the target 3 min videos is not something most will spend all day doing .... especially if a target bird on the nest is not moving rofl (especially if you can't see it - which does happen with well camouflaged Birds).... but life can get tense real fast when predator attacks occur.
Its the kind of thing which nicely fits a Tea/Coffee/Beer break, and watch a few clips whilst consuming said beverage ..... Cathartic
