Cam Help

Watch our aviary cam carefully—you never know who’ll stroll by.

You might see phalaropes spinning around in circles, creating whirlpools in the water; or an oystercatcher using its red beak to probe the sand for worms and crabs.

Look for leg bands on our birds, which help us identify them. Each bird has its own history—most came here injured and can’t live in the wild.
