Apologies but this camera is currently experiencing a technical issue! Because the Osprey likely now have young (and disturbing their nest would mean violating the Migratory Bird Treaty Act), we are unable to go in and fix the camera at this time. View more wildlife cams on Audubon Live!

This live video provides a unique, genuine, and close-up view of Osprey, a migratory bird that breeds in Connecticut in the spring and summer. During the breeding season, you will have a chance to observe nature in action through the daily lives of the Osprey occupying this platform as they build their nest, feed, incubate their eggs, and care for their young.

The Osprey pair has been named Ted and Margaret, in honor of our friends and colleagues Ted Gilman and Margaret Lechner.

FAQ ABOUT THE OSPREY AND THE CAMERA

Q: The camera's down! What's happening?
A: This camera is powered by solar energy. Expect streaming interruptions during low-light conditions, overcast, and unfavorable weather—when the camera has not received enough sunlight to power up.

Q: What's that shiny thing in the nest?
A: Sometimes, you may notice trash in the Osprey nest. Unfortunately, Ospreys are attracted to bright, shiny items like balloons and food wrappers. This serves as a good reminder for us humans—please don’t litter!

Q: Who owns or operates your Audubon Live! cameras?
A: All cameras, except our Greenwich camera featured here (managed by Audubon Connecticut's Greenwich Audubon Center), are operated courtesy of Menunkatuck Audubon Society (MAS). Learn more about the MAS cameras here.
