Our cam overlooks the nest on top of our 100’ communications tower. The resident osprey pair, Bea and Jasper, have returned for their ninth season. Bea returned to the communications tower on January 10th and Jasper arrived on January 28th. The first egg was laid February 11th and the second egg was laid February 13th. For those of you that have been following us you’ll remember that the last three years Bea and Jasper’s nest has failed. How many eggs will she have? How many chicks will fledge? We are eager for a successful season and to see juvenile ospreys take flight.
Currently, our cam refresh rate is extremely slow (5 minutes) due to recent equipment added to our network that has consumed bandwidth. We anticipate to have that corrected in the near future.
Thank you for joining us for another season and for taking part in our Osprey Blog.
Below is a close-up of Jasper, the two eggs, and Bea incubating the eggs.
