New online bird watching game launched

If you’ve been too busy to go out on a bird watching tour, then may be you would like to spend some time playing an online game. Called Cone Sutro Forest, the game has been developed by the Berkeley Automation Sciences Lab.

The game is based on the birds spotted in the Sutro Forest of San Francisco. You can play the game in 4 easy steps. All you have to do is to register on the site after which you watch a live video of the birds. Then, using the robotic camera, you can take a snap of the birds and then identify the birds. You get points for taking good photos and classifying the birds correctly.

The site even has a link to BabelFish making it an attractive birding sight to explore even for the non English speaking community.

Perhaps you wish to play the game right now. If so, don’t forget to read the online tutorial at: http://cone.berkeley.edu/concierge/tutorial. If you have some bright ideas for tuning up the game’s scope do email the team.
