ENMAX Web Camera Captures Osprey Action for the Third Year The public once again has access to a bird’s-eye view of an osprey nest via a high-resolution webcam thanks to an arrangement between the Calgary Zoo and ENMAX Corporation.
For over 15 years, a pair of nesting osprey has built their summer home on a platform constructed by the Calgary Zoo atop a pole erected by ENMAX Power Corporation. The platform is located at the extreme east end of St. George’s Island. ENMAX is pleased to provide nature enthusiasts with the unique opportunity to intimately view the ospreys’ seasonal activities for a third year.
The live streaming camera captures in full cycle the birds’ dramatic seasonal milestones, from nest building and mating rituals, to egg laying, incubation, hatching, feeding and fledging, a period of intense activity that is all centered at the nest. Last year, more than 50,000 hits were recorded as people watched the exciting events of the ospreys unfold between April and September. For more information on this osprey camera and to watch the ospreys live, 24 hours a day, visit the ENMAX osprey pages at www.enmax.com/osprey. A link and further information about ospreys is also available on the Calgary Zoo website at www.calgaryzoo.org/osprey. |
