I forgot to mention the Redoubt Cam as it has been so active of late.

See the surf break at Long Beach- observe wave conditions, for swimming and surfing.

control the cam too.

You can watch the Japanese snow monkeys, who come out of their nests and into a hot mineral spring every day:

My new favorite Web site is Vito Cam. What a great idea. He is sitting up now!

i'm addicted to the webcams at ski resorts out west, since i never get to ski out there as much as i'd like to... it's also just amazing to see a landscape blanketed in snow. i'm partial to the one at vail.com since i know that resort the best, and i recognize the specific locations of their many cameras.

Another extreme weather geek, you can watch live storm chaser webcams on tornadovideos.net and http://severestudios.com/

Nasa TV!

I'm an elementary science teacher, and in the spring when we hatch chicks in the classroom, we set up a "chickcam" for home viewing. I spend an embarrassing number of hours in the evening watching the little guys mostly sleep.

Animal cams are popular for a reason. There is something incredibly relaxing about them-- they really seem to fill a need in these jittery times.

I like the Panama canal webcams. nothing moves fast but having been there it's cool to see.

Its not exactly a Web Cam but its a video project I follow - funny man Ben Weber's project: All Things to All People http://www.youtube.com/allbenweber

through this article, I came across the Prague Astronomical clock webcam - every hour on the hour the 12 apostles come out and parade to the delight of 100s of tourists. brings back memories of childhood for sure!

also: pete's pond preserve in africa through the national geographic website is awesome!

Like Theresa above, I got hooked on that shiba inu puppy cam. But now there's just one puppy, and he's pretty big and usually not around. So there's just a webcam of his empty doggy bed. And yet I still check in every now and then.

You mentioned it above, but I LOVE the Brooklyn Bunny webcam. It is the "pet" project of two designers. Watching the bunny, Roebling, is beyond just an "aaww cute!" experience, it is somehow very soothing.

Right now he's licking his paw.

Personally, I always wanted a rabbit so I get to have one vicariously... also I actually met the actual Bklyn Bunny in a veterinary E.R. on one of the weirdest nights of my life, so it makes me happy to see that the little guy is still hopping around and doing well.

I worked on business development projects in Russia from 1993 to 1998 and still get nostalgic for Moscow. I like the Casual Moscow Web cam at http://webbusiness2008.narod.ru/index.html, which has views of several cities around the world. At http://www.earthcam.com/russia/moscow/, there's currently a nice view of the Moskova River. Years ago, there was Kremlinkam (one of the earliest Web cams, I think), but it's gone.

My son is a college student in Annapolis, Maryland. There are at least seven different web-cams around the town and I check them to see what the weather's like, how many tourists are walking around, etc. (At the moment, it's drizzling and the streets are deserted). There's never anything earth-shattering to see but still I like to check them anyway.

When gripped with nostalgia for my alma mater, I view USC's "TommyCam" (Los Angeles), which is trained on the iconic Tommy Trojan status in the center of campus. http://www.usc.edu/about/visit/upc/tommy_cam/

The time-lapse movies of a entire day passing are interesting. I do have to admit that I have a love/hate relationship with my old school, so my feelings about watching this webcam are somewhat mixed.

I love the live streaming cam of Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park. Buffalo, raptors, the occasional coyote, and even a possible wolf sighting are just a few of the exciting moments from last week, not to mention the regular eruptions of Old Faithful.

Don't forget the Shake Shack webcam in Madison Square Park, which allows busy people to monitor the line from the comfort of their homes and offices. I work only a few blocks away, and it is key when those burger cravings strike. On a warm, sunny day in the spring and summer (unlike this one), the line can wrap around the block from Madison to Fifth Avenue starting at 11:00am through 3:00pm.

In addition to Geoff's post about hawks in Philadelphia, if listeners are interested in watching birds of prey in NYC there is a web cam pointed at the nest of a mating pair of Peregrine Falcons perched on 55 Water Street.

So if you want to see a local pair the world's fastest bird of prey feeding their young pigeon chunks, you can.

I'm a weather geek. In Spring and Summer I check the national weather radar and when there's a big storm brewing I search for a webcam in the area just ahead of the storm and monitor it to see the storm pass in (almost)real time. I usually use Weather Underground wunderground.com)

I loved the puppycam that went viral-- with that big litter of shiba inu puppies. We followed them from squinty-eyed, squirmy little blobs to hyperactive mini-dogs. Great stuff.

The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia has a pair of red-tailed hawks nesting on a window ledge outside a conference room. They've closed the conference room to keep from disturbing the birds, and set up a web cam.

The pair, nicknamed Scarlet and Rhedd, have 3 eggs, and they take turns tending the nest. The web cam shows a live feed of the nest (only visible during daylight hours), who's on the eggs, and (with luck!) eventually the hatching and development of the fledgelings.

Watching the nest during incubation is like flying a plane; long periods of relative inactivity, with short, intense flurries of action when the hawks swap places or the one in place readjusts itself or leaves the eggs exposed for short periods of time. I'm sure once the eggs hatch there will be much more to watch!

I love the Abbey Road (St. John's Wood, London) webcam
