Birds & Birding at Felix Neck

Felix Neck hosts a wide variety of birds year-round. Join us on an upcoming birding program or go birding on your own. Whichever you choose, bring the checklist of birds you might see at the sanctuary.

Sanctuary Owl Cam

Watch our resident Barn Owls eat, mate, lay eggs, and grow up in real-time!

2026 Season Summary

This year brought a quieter chapter for our resident barn owls. Following the loss of one adult in April 2026, no chicks were raised during the nesting season. We remain hopeful that barn owls will return in the future and look forward to welcoming a new owl family.

Sanctuary Osprey Cam

Watch our sanctuary Ospreys build a nest and raise young on their brand-new nesting platform.

2026 Season Summary

Each year brings new stories of migration, nesting, and growth. Our osprey nests had an incredible 2026 season, with two healthy chicks successfully fledging this summer. We'll be looking forward to their return around mid-April.
