Due to structural issues with the tower where our live Osprey cam and nest had resided since 2007, our camera was taken out of service in the Fall of 2022. Since then, FOCHSP working closely with park staff, identified a new location for it late in 2022. A new tower and nesting platform was installed in the spring of 2023, along with the camera and services required at its new home. Unfortunately, as fans of this page will know no nesting occured in this first year. We are hoping for a better result next season!

The Osprey Cam Project
Osprey, who reside in Cape Henlopen State Park, migrate each year to South America, they usually return in March to their previous nests, eggs hatch in June, fledge and leave the nest in September. The Friends have lead the way in recognizing these unique creatures.
In 2003 the Park and the Friends started planning for the Osprey Camera – a continuous, real-time feed monitoring the nest of two local ospreys and their offspring. In 2007, with funds from the state, and from 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 feed went live in April 2007. Visitors to the Park may view the nest at the Nature center, on YouTube, or from this page.
