Osprey Nest Cam – LoLo, MT
Your watching a live video cam of wild Osprey named Swoop and Winnie. Swoop returned for the nesting season with a new mate(2024). Harriet was his previous mate.
The nest is located 45 feet off the ground on the top of a pole. Nesting season is from April to Early August. After the Osprey leave for migration the ranch owners install a bird feeder station on the nest perch.
You will see all kinds of birds including raptors, geese, squirrels and more. The feeder station comes down in spring right before the osprey are about to return.

Has Spangle been seen? Dad brought in a nice size fish for Star and an hour later brought another fish but no Spangle. Star was still working on the first fish so dad left. He came back again and Star still eating first one so he took off again. I haven’t checked in for a couple of dayas. Hope Spangle is ok or learned to fish and migrated.
I haven’t seen Spangle at the nest since August 24th when he was booted off the nest twice by Star. I hope he’s okay too.
Oh geez, That doesn’t sound good. Hope Swoop is feeding Spangle somewhere else? But he still brought that second fish to the nest. Darn. I guess we will never know.
Haven’t seen Winnie lately either, so she has probably migrated. Maybe Spangle followed her.
