We're excited to announce that the camera viewing the ospreys at Salt Point is now streaming live. Feel free to share the link. See it at: http://www.youtube.com/@OspreysofSaltPoint
>From the description: This nest was built by Orpheus in 2013, and with his two mates Ophelia (2013--2022) and Ursula (2022--current), they have reared many healthy fledglings over the years. The nest is ideally located within the Salt Point Natural Area in Lansing, NY, at the confluence of Salmon Creek, a fast-flowing trout stream, and fish-rich Cayuga Lake. Orpheus and his mate continually tend their nest built atop a 55' dedicated nesting platform with a spectacular 360ยบ view-and protection against marauding great-horned owls. This nest camera is solar-powered, operating in one of the cloudiest areas in the USA. After a streak of consecutive overcast or stormy days, the batteries drain and the recording may stop. After a few hours of sunshine, all will return to normal. High winds may also cause noise from the camera housing. Special thanks to Pat Tyrrell and the Town of Lansing's Parks & Recreation Department, Candace E. Cornell, Ben Heller of Computer Room, and Friends of Salt Point volunteers for their extraordinary work in getting this camera installed and streaming. Read Candace E. Cornell's "On Osprey Time" (onospreytime.blogspot.com<http://onospreytime.blogspot.com/>.) for the latest on nest life and all things Ospreys.
