This live stream points at a roosting area for California condors on the Big Sur coast. It is useful for anyone curious about one of North America's rarest birds or planning a drive along this stretch of the Pacific.
About Big Sur
Big Sur is a remote stretch of the central California coast, where the Santa Lucia Mountains drop steeply into the Pacific. The area is known for its cliffs, redwood-lined canyons and the winding Highway 1. Much of the land is protected, and the region has long been home to the California condor, a large scavenging bird that was brought back from the brink of extinction through a captive breeding program.
What the camera shows
The title names a condor roost, so the view is likely to focus on the birds' nesting and perching area rather than on people or traffic. Activity tends to be highest in the early morning and late afternoon, when condors leave for or return from feeding. Weather and fog strongly affect what you can see, so check the current conditions shown on this page before watching.
Planning a visit
Big Sur has a mild, foggy coastal climate, with cooler and damper conditions in winter and the clearest skies often in late summer and early autumn. Services are limited along the coast, so fuel and food are best arranged ahead of time. Nearby cameras on this page include Carmel-by-the-Sea and the Port of Monterey, which can help you judge conditions on the wider coast.
