Yes, this one is at the Dunrovin Guest Ranch, Lolo Montana and part of The Osprey Project at the University of Montana. If you look on the page and
find BirdCams you can check out 4 other cams, different types of birds, some with the babies already born.

That's a great webcam. We've been members of The Peregrine Fund for several years (World Center Birds of Prey near Boise, ID) and they have a webcam
(http://www.peregrinefund.org/subsites/webcam-peregrine/) focused on a pair of peregrine falcoms raising a brood on the 14th floor of a downtown
Boise building. It's so great to see the ospreys and the peregrines.
I'm posting this in the "Quick Reply" box and ergo the need for you to cut and paste the above link to the peregrines. Sorry I'm too lazy to jump
through the other hoops. :-(

P.S. Fixed the link; you can direct click.

The peregrines in Boise just had chicks.

P.S. We're experiencing some strong winds here in Idaho (owing to a major low pressure moving through) and it's interesting to see the nesting pair
protecting the chicks. As I looked on earlier today, the parents switched places. Pretty neat.

That is neat Allen. I saw the Osprey trade off today also! And, it was really blowin at the Osprey nest today too! I felt bad for them but they just
sit up there like it was no big deal! Birds seem to be good parents, at least the ones by my house that I've observed over the years. There are 5 cams
connected with Cornell and you can access them all from the Osprey link. Red-tail, Blue Heron and Kestrel all have babies at different stages. The
Red-tails, I think, will fledge tomorrow. There's a lot of flapping and looking over the edge in that nest! It's really fun to watch the progess.

This is fun.
Its 11 pm up in Montana, pitch black yet there's still a bit of activity and talking in the nest.
Hurry up, sunrise!

I'm sorry to report the news is not good at the Osprey nest. The eggs are well past the normal incubation time and experts are saying they will not
hatch. The parents are still diligently sitting and caring for the eggs, it's sad to watch. This is a news clip about it. In short they think it could
be mercury levels or the fact that these two birds are older birds and so maybe it's something with the reproductive system.

Sorry to hear this, Goldhuntress, but thank you for keeping us aware and for the opportunity to learn about nature.
Its really sad to look in on them now. They're carrying on so valiantly. Will they abandon the nest when they themselves know for certainty their
efforts are in vain?
On a brighter note, a little thread hijack: a little report on Isabeau, the young female osprey who was found in La Bocana in early April and brought
to Mulege in May.
Miss Issy, as she is known here, has rehabbed and stabilized. She'll never fly again however; her wing is healed but permanently broken. She's
learning to walk and hop about; balance was a big issue for her.
Thanks to her attentive caregiver she has a lovely secure yard with some shade and a trunk of palm and good-size piece of dried cholla to perch on.
She's eating baitfish like a little piggie!
