Smallwood State Park Osprey Cam

The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) provides an “Osprey Cam” live-streaming from Smallwood State Park in Marbury, Charles County, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The camera is a pan-tilt-zoom streaming video cam with a microphone and is installed on a dike within man-made freshwater ponds at the Refuge.

Chesapeake Conservancy Wildlife Cams

Chesapeake Conservancy partners with explore.org and local property owners on three live-streaming webcams that take viewers inside the nests of osprey, peregrine falcons, and great blue herons.
