Monterey Bay Aquarium Aviary Cam

Peek into our Aviary for an adventure in birdwatching! Marvel at the long legs of our black-necked stilt and American avocet, or spot the brightly colored beak of the black oystercatcher. Keen eyes may even spot the skittering of our tiny western snowy plover and sandpipers that blend into the sand.

Look for leg bands on our birds, which help us identify them in our Aviary exhibit. Each bird has its own history—most came here injured and can't survive in the wild. With the diligent care of our aviculturists and veterinary team, they often live well beyond their wild kin!

Watch rescued shorebirds thrive in this sandy habitat at the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Sandy Shore and Aviary exhibit. The live camera captures wading birds in their shallow-water home, where you can observe natural behaviors and spot individual birds by their identification leg bands. The Aviary Cam is live every day from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Pacific time.
