Bird Cams Around the World

VIMS osprey seem to be sitting on eggs.

Foggy day...

Great action shots! Thanks!!

April 21. Change on the nest. It must be getting close to hatching.

They were really early for Virginia. I think hatch is still a while, a few weeks.

There may be a hatch. While both birds were feeding separately, I saw the female, on the right, leaning several times forward, as if she was giving food to a hatchling. Of course we cannot be sure before the heads are visible…

May 6. Again, I think I saw feeding (the second picture).

The male brings a snack. The female feeds their offspring. Finally, I was able to see a bobbing head. One only was visible, but I think there is another one too.

Today I saw definitely 2 little heads during the feeding. Also, two little birdies (warblers?) were mating several times on a stick near the right corner of the nest (seen on the last 2 pictures).

Great catch! I'll have to spread the word to CCB. I think the biologists might be banding some ospreys this year, maybe they will do this nest.

For the first time I saw THREE little heads. They are clearly visible on this picture.

That is great news, especially after all the rain and coolness here!!

Three little heads again, even taller...

They are growing fast. Parents leave them sometimes alone.

The youngsters are growing...

They achieved adult size already and they wingercize vigorously...

July 5.

They're beautiful!

One of the young ospreys fledged!







And returned about 30 minutes later.









Later, when 2 young were on the nest, a parent brought some food. The third one appeared quickly. This picture could be entitled “Confusion of wings”.
