About Fort Calhoun
Fort Calhoun sits in Washington County, close to the Missouri River, where the land is a mix of farmland, cottonwood groves and river bottoms. The area is known for its wide skies and for the Fort Calhoun Nuclear Generating Station nearby. Its low, flat landscape makes it a good place to see large birds moving along the river corridor. The town is small, quiet and easy to reach from the Omaha metro area.
What the camera shows
The title points to an osprey watch station, so the focus is on the nest or perch area rather than on people or traffic. Ospreys are most active in the warmer months, when they hunt over water, bring fish to the nest and tend their young. Early morning and late afternoon often bring the best light and the most movement. Weather affects activity, so a calm, sunny day is usually more rewarding to watch than heavy rain or strong wind.
Planning and nearby cameras
Eastern Nebraska has a continental climate with hot summers and cold winters, and spring and early autumn are generally the most pleasant times to be outdoors. Omaha is roughly twenty-odd kilometres away and offers a larger range of services. Other cameras in the area include Missouri Valley, Fremont and two Omaha views, the Kiewitt Luminarium and The Farnam, which are useful if you want to compare city and river scenes.
