This live feed comes from the Chesapeake Bay Foundation and is set up to follow osprey activity near Hillsmere Shores on Maryland's Eastern Shore. Ospreys are large fish hawks that return to the bay every spring, so the stream is a good way to see nesting birds up close without leaving home. The page also shows local time and current weather so you can plan a visit.

About Hillsmere Shores

Hillsmere Shores is a small waterfront community on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. The bay is the largest estuary in the United States, a wide mix of fresh river water and salt sea water that supports crabs, oysters, and a great variety of birds. The landscape here is flat and green, with marsh edges, tidal creeks, and wooded shoreline. The atmosphere is quiet and rural, shaped by boating and fishing.

What the camera shows

The camera is part of a conservation project focused on ospreys, so the most rewarding moments are usually in the nesting season, when adults bring fish and tend their young. Early morning and late afternoon often bring the most bird movement and softer light. Weather changes what you see: on calm days birds are busier, while strong wind or rain can keep them close to the nest. Check the live view and weather below before you watch.

Practical notes and nearby cameras

Spring and early summer are the best times to visit the area, when temperatures are mild and the bay is active. Summers are warm and humid, and winters are cold with occasional storms. Ospreys migrate south in the autumn. Other cameras in the region include Millersville, Easton, and Baltimore, all within roughly 24 to 42 kilometres, which gives a wider view of the Maryland shoreline.
