About This Osprey Cam:

This osprey cam features “Tom & Audrey” who nest each year at the home of “The Crazy Osprey Family” on Kent Island off Maryland’s Eastern Shore. 2022 is the 9th season that The Crazy Osprey Family has partnered with Chesapeake Conservancy, and our 4th with the addition of Explore.org. In 2018, Explore.org installed a new more sophisticated camera. The Crazy Osprey Family set up their first cam 16 years ago and used it as an educational resource for their daughter’s school.
