A Riverside Nesting Platform
Perched on a dedicated pole above the Ridgefield Waterfront along the Columbia River, this nest hosts a breeding pair of Ospreys that return to the same site to raise their young. The elevated platform gives the birds a commanding view over the surrounding wetlands and open water where they hunt for fish.
Raising the Next Generation
Viewers can watch the parents take turns incubating eggs, feeding hatchlings, and guarding the nest from potential threats. The intricate tangle of branches and grasses that forms the nest grows a little larger every season as the pair reinforces it.
A Community Conservation Project
The camera is part of a partnership between the Port of Ridgefield, the local school district, and regional conservation groups, offering an educational window into the lives of these remarkable raptors. It underscores a shared commitment to protecting the waterfront's natural habitat.
