Osprey Cam — 2008 Season
RealPlayer is needed to view the following (see below).
Local sunrise: 5:32 AM Local sunset: 8:04 PM
  Local time is:  

At approximately 1:14 PM on Saturday, April 12, a lightning strike near the camera knocked out the video signal from the camera. Attempts to recover the signal failed. After discussion among the people responsible for the camera, the consensus is that we attempt to retrieve and replace the camera. We are very early in the process and do not have an estimate as to how long we will be without video, but the process has started. Updates will be posted.

Update - 5/7/08: As more people have gotten involved in the discussion of the retrieval and repair of the DPOF ospreycam, it has become clear that we must proceed with caution. While everyone agrees that the osprey can tolerate a short disruption, retrieving and repairing the camera will not be a short disruption. Nothing will be done before the eggs hatch, and a meeting is being planned where all parties can discuss if, when and how repairs can be done.

This site is sponsored by the Post-Morrow Foundation
and by individual contributions.

Warning: The camera on this site provides an uncensored view of nature.
