About the Live Wildlife Webcam
The streaming live wildlife webcam you
are viewing is located in the woods of Murrysville, PA brought to you by
PixController, Inc.. The webcam is
broadcast live 24/7 all year round. There is an automated feeder which is setup to feed at
7:15 AM,
12:00 Noon, 7:30 PM, and 10:30 PM (Eastern Time
Zone) on the main camera. The feeder
puts out a small amount of cracked corn and
sweet feed to attract an array of wildlife. The
feed is only used to attract the wildlife and
not provide a food source they can live off of.
The main camera is setup with a PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom)
camera in which we can remotely move the camera
around and zoom in on different animals. In the
evenings and weekends we will control the camera
for viewers to get a closer look at the wildlife.
There are motion-activated cameras that will
switch on when something is in front of them. These are wireless video
cameras that are battery powered and charged by solar panels. Currently
there are 4 other remote cameras which are triggered by the wildlife
which passes in front of them. The main camera feed will switch over to
the remote cameras when triggered and switched back when the animal
leaves the site.
While we can't control nature and which animals
are seen on our webcam we do get an array of
different species that visit the site daily.
Most people enjoy watching the whitetail deer.
You are most likely to see them appear on the
main camera in the mornings around 8:00 AM
Eastern, and sometimes around Noon. However, the
remote cameras often have deer appear on them at
random times during the day and night.
In the mid morning hours throughout the day you
will see groundhogs, gray squirrels, blue jays,
chipmunks,
mourning doves, wild turkey, various song birds,
and the occasional raccoon. The groundhogs are
preparing for winter hibernation and will be
seen eating a lot during the daylight hours.
Right before hibernation they will be seen
feeding at night.
During the night hours it's not uncommon to have
several whitetail deer show up, but they do not
follow any kind of schedule and sightings are
random. However, on the main camera you are
guaranteed of seeing large numbers of raccoons
as this is a favorite feeding spot.
