Seaside Osprey Cam

The Seaside Osprey Cam is operated by the Necanicum Watershed Council and focuses on an osprey nest, most likely along the Necanicum River near the Oregon coast. The camera may stream live video or refresh periodically, but either way it is trained on the nest throughout the breeding season. Ospreys return to the same nest each spring, so the action starts as soon as the adults arrive to repair the nest and lay eggs. The best time to watch is during daylight hours, especially early morning and late afternoon when the birds are most active with fishing and feeding. You will see courtship, egg incubation, and chicks growing from fluffy balls to fledglings. In winter, the nest may sit empty, but the webcam still provides a quiet view of the surrounding habitat. Check it during the nesting season for a front-row view of raptor life.
