CONE Sutro Forest - an Online Bird ID Game
CONE Sutro Forest attempts to be citizen science masquerading as an online game:
CONE Sutro Forest allows players to earn points by taking live photos and classifying wild birds. CONE Sutro Forest (CONE-SF) combines a remotely controllable robotic pan-tilt-zoom video camera with live streaming video, image database, and point system.
CONE stands for "Collaborative Observatory for Natural Environments". The feeder that's being watched belongs to Craig Newmark of the famed Craig's List. I guess he's outsourcing his Project Feeder Watch!
