Camera Status

The ospreycam was installed for the 2009 season on March 14. Unfortunately there were a number of major and minor problems encountered during the setup and installation of the camera and computer (for details click here). The setup is definitely showing its age.

MISSION STATEMENT

Download plans for making your own osprey platform (PDF version)

Visit the Friends of Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge Web site, an important home of the ospreys.

The Dennis Puleston Osprey Fund will encourage research about ospreys on Long Island, improve their nesting opportunities and educate the public about them. The Fund recognizes that for ospreys to be successful they must have a viable and healthy habitat in which to live, an objective that Dennis clearly understood and supported.
