Oprey Cam

Pitkin County Osprey Camera Info

The nest platform was installed in 2010 after a pair of Osprey began nest-building activities on a Holy Cross Energy utility pole. Since an Osprey nest and high-voltage electrical lines are not compatible, the nest and the crossbeams it was built on were transferred to a “safe pole” located about 40 feet away that was already in place. Pitkin County and Holy Cross Energy partnered to come to this solution, a safe option for both birds and humans. Since 2011, the pair of Osprey have returned each year to the platform nest. One or two young Ospreys have fledged from this nest each year since then. Of the breeding pair, the female is the larger bird, with lighter, frosted coloring on the tips of her feathers. The male, is smaller, sleeker and darker in color.

1. Sorry there are no eggs.

I don't have a 'cam,' just my own hand-held. Southern MD. Here's MaMa feeding Babe, who appeared to me June 1, and is growing:

I think there IS a baby, from color of feathers under the parent. 'I' only have one baby. Nest on my property, but not sure what's been produced in years passed.
