Today marks the second week since the third egg was laid and eleven days for the fifth egg. We don't anticipate the third egg being viable as it was not incubated for several days. The third egg is the mostly brown one.

We believe we could see some chicks after April 11th, which begins the 35th day since the first egg being laid. We haven't had any osprey chicks the last two years so we are anxiously awaiting the month of April.

Wow, I've missed so much! Near as I can tell from the moderator's comments, Bea and Jasper are incubating 2 viable eggs? Fingers crossed for a successful chick season. :-)

Vivian,

We should have two viable eggs. The brown egg was not incubated for several days during cool weather and it is also from the first male osprey on the nest, not Jasper's.
