First Place: A. Kristt: A Giant Black Bear on my Porch

Hello, I thought this video was pretty cool. We purchased the Logitech WiLife system because we wanted to see what wildlife lived in the area. Also, we wanted to know if there were any endangered animals that lived in our woods. We have 4 cameras that are installed around the outside of our front porch. They are amazing because they catch the slightest movements of the smallest animals, even in low light. Because of the Logitech WiLife system, we now know that we have mink, fox, raccoon, bear, dear, skunk, various birds, and other small mammals that visit our yard. These cameras are great for wildlife watchers or bird watchers.

Our cameras caught footage of a bear. This is the second time he was on my porch that night. The bear seems to have no fear of humans or dogs. He keeps sneaking up and looking in my windows. At first he poured over an old cup of coffee and lay on the steps for awhile, and then he tore open a small bag of garbage. He just kind of wandered around until he got tired and left.

Also, after this video was posted on youtube, MSNBC, the Today Show, and MANY local news stations were calling. We were interviewed by Tamron Hall on MSNBC and the story appeared on many national news channels. So because of this bear, we had our five minutes of fame.

Thanks.

Second Place: T. Stoddard: Hawk Attack

Hello, I recently noticed a small pile of feathers in my back yard. I have several bird feeders that, besides songbirds, also attract predators such as neighborhood cats. I had assumed that a cat had caught a bird and went inside to see what my camera would reveal. I was amazed to see what had really happened. It starts with a hawk standing in the yard, I believe when it flies out of view that it chases or maybe even strikes the other bird which then crashes into the side of the house. The hawk waits patiently watching its prey. It waited motionless long enough that the camera quit recording. The next segment shows the hawk flying off towards the camera with its catch.

Third Place: G. Crossley: A Painfull Fall in a Rainstorm

These Logitech cameras have been a great investment. Some video clips have been a great help to the authorities.

This particular clip is quite humorous. Here is the story behind it: There was a terrible storm that flooded the streets in my neighborhood. My friends told me that some people were in a boat rowing down the street. I ran out to my car to get a better look at the floods and… Well, the video tells it all. Enjoy.
