The Osprey Camera Project
Osprey who reside in Cape Henlopen State Park migrate each year to South America, returning to their previous nests to reproduce. The Friends have led the way in recognizing these unique creatures.
In 2003 the Park and the Friends started planning for the Osprey Camera – a continuous, real-time closed circuit television camera monitoring the nest of two local ospreys and their offspring. In 2007, with a combination of funds from the state and fundraising efforts by the Friends this joint project came to fruition with the installation of the camera focused on the Osprey nest located on the SPI Pharma tower adjacent to the Park entrance. The live feed went online in April 2007. Visitors to the Park may view the nest at the Nature center or online via the streaming video on this page.
Ospreys usually return to nest in March, eggs hatch in June, fledge and leave nest in September.
