Barnegat Light Osprey Cam

Live view from an osprey nest located in Barnegat Light, Long Beach Island, Ocean County, New Jersey. This live streaming camera was first installed for the 2019 nesting season, where two young were produced by the unbanded female and banded male (788-49033), named Duke. He was banded in 2006 as a nestling at Sedge Island (to the north of Barnegat Light), which is the most densely populated colony of nesting ospreys in New Jersey. Both first occupied this nest in 2018 and were together until fall migration in 2020. That year the pair produced three young. In 2021, the previous female did not return and she was replaced by a new (inexperienced) female, named Daisy. They raised two young in 2021 & 2022.
