    The webcam is stationary, but this morning there was an operator who moved the camera and panned the entire area. When he comes across something special he will zoom in and focus on that animal. I know someone is manning it at all different times of the day.

    This morning I could hardly stop watching to get to work. There was an elephant - very close to the lodge grazing - several giraffe - a herd of, I believe, gazelle, a monkey with two young that were just razing the devil running around.

    I have found the very best times to see things is their time early in the morning or early evening. They are nine hours ahead of California time.

    The grizzly cam is fun too.

    Lizzie, it sure looked like a Peacock. It had the huge pretty tail, but then again, I am not that good at picking birds out


    Thank you so much Michelle!

    I thought that would be the best time also, but it's mostly birds in the early morning. Late morning seems to be best for the animals. People just seem to get luck at different times, though. I think only one poster has seen anything at night.

    Edited to add that we are seeing a very beautiful early summer morning, calm, warm, peaceful, fresh looking. And I'm wrapped in long wooly dress and long robe, heat blasting away, and hoping that February passes quickly.

    I was just going to re-edit my post about that. That's the first time I've seen anything other than birds in the early morning. I believe they are impala. I looked at a S. Africa site a few days ago and checked out their appearance.

    Who wants to make a guess? I am guessing they are something tan. I wish they would zoom in on them.
    Thanks so much Ashley for the siggy!
