You are watching the Elshoff Osprey Nest Camera.
This is live footage streaming from Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.
This is a special place managed first and foremost for the benefit of animals and their habitats.
This camera allows us a privileged view of wild birds and other wildlife going about their daily lives without disturbance.
Please remember:
- These are wild animals. Their behaviors such as feeding, resting, mating, raising young, and sometimes fighting or dying are all natural parts of life in the wild. Refuge staff will not intervene except in rare circumstances where human-caused hazards are involved.
- Viewer discretion advised. There may be moments that are difficult to watch, including predation, injury, or nest failure. While this can be emotional, these events are a natural part of a healthy ecosystem.
- Stay on designated roads and trails. To protect wildlife, please do not attempt to locate or approach this nest or camera in person. Staying on designated roads and trails helps keep birds and other wildlife safe and undisturbed.
- Keep it legal. This camera, and the nesting site it features, is located within a Closed Area on the Refuge and trespassing is punishable by fine.
