Two Young Confirmed

I was recently watching the parent ospreys ripping pieces of fish flesh and feeding it to their two young which are growing at a rapid rate.  I was able to capture the feeding behavior with the webcam as seen below.  rcc

Bald Eagles at Refuge Fledge One Young

JUST A NOTE OF INTEREST:  The bald eagle pair which nest west of the visitor center have fledged one young this month.  The other pair on the east end of the lake have possibly fledged at least one young, but it was not observed.

 Bald Eagle Fledgling on Narrows/North Side Nest 6/21/13

We have at least TWO Chicks

I was just watching the video feed and could see the wobbley heads of two chicks sticking up above the bowl of the nest, begging for attention/food.  Keep watching....there may be another 1 or 2 young ones in the nest.   rcc

We Have Osprey Chicks!

The parents are now feeding the young that have hatched.  Keep watching to see how many young they are raising.  We won't know until they can raise their heads above the bowl of the nest.

We hare having webcam issues

WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE WEBCAM NOT WORKING THIS PAST WEEK.  FIBERPIPE FOLKS ARE WORKING WITH GEM STATE COMMUNICATIONS TO SEE IF THEY CAN GET A BROADER BAN WIDTH SO THE CAMERA IMAGE CAN BE MORE CONSISTENT VIA THE INTERNET LINK.  SO, BE PATIENT.  MEANWHILE THE OSPREY CHICKS SHOULD BE HATCHING ANY TIME NOW. rcc
