SALMON, Idaho — Virtual birders and webcam voyeurs, rejoice. The Idaho Department of Fish and Game released a new 24/7 osprey webcam in Salmon, Idaho.

The high-resolution livestream camera promises birders the ability to “view breeding behavior, chick rearing, and other osprey activities” from the comfort of home.

According to Idaho Fish and Game, osprey live and breed in the Salmon River Valley from April through August and will migrate to South America for the winter. Last year, the Teton Raptor Center shared with Buckrail that osprey migrate independently and typically return to the same spring and summer territory every year.
