The Montana Osprey Project webpage states:
The Osprey Project is a long-term study of osprey ecology and heavy metal contamination in Montana's upper Clark Fork River and its tributaries.
As part of our work, we run two livestreaming nest cams in Missoula (Hellgate Canyon) and Lolo (Dunrovin Ranch.)
Both the cams and this site are educational tools that bring the wonders of nature and science closer to home. Enjoy and share what you've learned!
