Audubon Osprey Nest on Hog Island

A Wild Osprey Nest Above the Bay

This live webcam looks straight down into the stick nest of a pair of ospreys, built high on a weathered, bare tree on Hog Island. The commanding vantage point reveals the daily life of these fierce fish-eating raptors as they tend their nest above the water.

Muscongus Bay and the Maine Coast

Beyond the nest, the camera frames the calm, glassy expanse of Muscongus Bay, ringed by the dense evergreen forest of the Maine coast. The sheltered cove provides rich fishing grounds that draw the ospreys back to this nest year after year.

Audubon's Hog Island Sanctuary

The nest sits within the historic Audubon sanctuary on Hog Island, a legendary site for nature education and bird study. This pristine coastal habitat offers a front-row seat to one of North America's most iconic raptors.
