Birds at the Mississippi River Flyway in Brice Prairie: This all-encompassing camera rotates around an open flyway on Lake Onalaska. The Upper Mississippi National Fish and Wildlife Refuge runs the camera, capturing a wide range of flying creatures that make their home in western Wisconsin.

The camera operators try to highlight the best winged visitors when they land close by, especially when bald eagles visit the area.
