The cam *does* switch back and forth to black and white film highlights of ''Tom and Audrey's'' previous nest, but there is also a cleared-off nest platform with an Osprey on it today:

(31,589 posts)This osprey cam features Tom & Audrey who nest each year at the home of The Crazy Osprey Family on Kent Island off Marylands Eastern Shore. 2022 is the 9th season that The Crazy Osprey Family has partnered with Chesapeake Conservancy, and our 4th with the addition of Explore.org. In 2018, Explore.org installed a new more sophisticated camera. The Crazy Osprey Family set up their first cam 16 years ago and used it as an educational resource for their daughters school.
