Osprey Webcam at Blackwater Refuge
The Osprey cam is located on the Blackwater NWR in Cambridge, Maryland. This camera is pointed at an osprey (fishhawk) nesting platform mounted on a tall pole about 20 ft above the ground. The image refreshes every 60 seconds. The camera is also equipped with infrared vision so images are also available at night except for the hours between 11pm and 3am. During this 4 hour period images are not sent to the site to save bandwidth. Chances are viewers are not missing much action during this time as the adult osprey pair prefer roosting in the high branches of nearby trees.
Some of the additional features the site has are osprey facts page, the osprey weblog, osprey cam Q & A page, gallery of past cam images. There is the Blackwater Refuge Store, where you can buy birdhouse spy cams, Blackwater Osprey Ts, hats & caps, and osprey books. By doing so you will be suporting the refuge.
