Right now it is zoomed in during incubation. It will be zoomed back out when the young birds begin to move. The zoom feature is only accessible to those who manage the camera.

The camera at Gulf Tower is older and must be adjusted manually. It cannot be zoomed, but must be physically moved closer if you want a closer picture. This cannot be done during the nesting season because people are not allowed near the nest, so what you see now is what it will look like this year.

Do they have remote control to move them or do they have to be physically changed and adjusted ?
