Clinton Osprey Camera

Thanks to the Clinton Land Conservation Trust for permission to install the camera on one of their properties.

This is a wild Osprey nest and anything can happen. While we hope that healthy Osprey chicks will end up fledging from the nest this summer, things like sibling rivalry, predators, and natural disaster can affect this Osprey family and may be difficult to watch. As hard as it may be to see anything happen to our Osprey, we will let nature take its course and not intervene.

If you enjoy our Osprey cam, consider supporting Menunkatuck’s projects with your tax deductible donation.

A female has more obvious brown banding on the breast, from a little to a lot like the female on the right here.
