VIMS Osprey Cam

Enjoy a live view of our "fish hawks"

 NOTICE: The 2011 nesting and breeding season for our ospreys is now complete. Return in spring 2012 for another exciting year of osprey viewing. In the meantime, return to this page for views of the VIMS campus and occasional storm footage.


 

Watch real-time images of an osprey family during their annual nesting and breeding season on the shores of Chesapeake Bay. The images—brought to you by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science—come from a nest that sits atop a 65’ water tower on the VIMS campus in Gloucester Point, Virginia. The nest site, which has been occupied every  breeding season for several decades, gives the resident ospreys easy access to nearby fishing grounds on the York River, a major tributary of Chesapeake Bay.

 

If the image is dark, it is night-time on the campus of the VIMS campus in Gloucester Point, Virginia. We are in the U.S. Eastern time zone.
