Sandy Shore & Aviary Web Cam


Live Web Cam: 7 a.m.–7 p.m. PST

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, carrying tiny animals to the surface where they can feed on them.

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.
