Live Webcams in Hog Island, Maine

Hog Island lies in Muscongus Bay on the Maine coast, off the village of Bremen, and has been the National Audubon Society's camp since 1936, so the live webcams on Hog Island are about birds: the nests on platforms and in the spruce along the shore, the water of the bay where the fish are caught, and the rocks and ledges where seals haul out and seabirds rest. The island keeps Eastern Time, UTC−5, UTC−4 in summer, and the nesting season sets the calendar; the birds arrive in April, the young hatch in late May and June, and by September the platforms stand empty. The island covers some 130 hectares of spruce and fir and has no road, only the boat from the mainland; the puffin colony of Eastern Egg Rock, restored from nothing since 1973, is a few miles out in the bay.
