The world may be standing still, but birds still need our help to thrive, and right now, we need them too.
Here are some ways you can stay socially distant while safely enjoying the outdoors this spring.

Watch Live Birds, From Indoors
We recognize that some people may be unable, or nervous, to explore the outdoors right now. So we're bringing the birds to you!
Here are some live bird cameras you can enjoy from the comfort of your home:
- Audubon Live! cameras in Connecticut feature Osprey nests and the occasional harbor seal! https://ct.audubon.org/audubon-live
- Our friends at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in Ithaca are bringing us views of feeder birds, Barred Owls, and more. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/cams/all-cams/
- Transport yourself to summertime, when hummingbirds will return to our New York feeders, with this feeder cam live from California: https://explore.org/livecams/hummingbirds/hummingbird-fountain
