Greenbelt's OspreyCam is located in Gloucester, MA on Greenbelt salt marsh near LobstaLand Restaurant. The resident Osprey are Annie and Squam, who are currently incubating 3 eggs.
History: In 2017 a pair of young Osprey took up residence on the LobstaLand platform in July/August and made a small nest. In 2018 they returned in April, stayed until
August and built a large nest but never laid eggs. We call this a "house-keeping pair"- almost always a young pair learning the ropes.
In 2019, the pair returned in April to the nest and produced a clutch of 3 eggs. If all goes well, we predict the eggs should hatch between June 15-20.
2016 - Ethel was sited on the nest a few times in the early season but she did not nest here. Other Osprey were sited and some nest building was observed.
2015 - Ethel and Allyn returned in early April. Allyn disappeared. Ethel remained at nest until August but never produced eggs.
2014 - nest with 4 eggs, fledge 1 young. Watch the migration track of the 2014 fledgling here
2013 - OspreyCam was installed! Nest with 3 eggs, hatched one young that does not survive
