Webcam Brings Eastern Shore Ospreys To Followers Worldwide

ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Now this is a reality show.

Tom, a hardworking dad, constantly nagged by his wife, Audrey. Violent sibling rivalry as the kids, Chester, Essie and Ozzie, fight for mom’s attention. Parents trying to keep the house in order and keep the family fed. And a growing cadre of loyal viewers who can’t seem to turn it off.

It’s OspreyCam, brought to you by the folks at Chesapeake Conservancy.

The kids are three osprey chicks. The first one, Chester, hatched May 25, Essie emerged two days later. The runt, Ozzie, came a week after his oldest sibling.

Even before the first hatchling appeared, some folks were glued to OspreyCam, a camera feed from a nest platform on the Eastern Shore.
