Osprey Nest now has a chick!!

Osprey nest is back in action. She had 2 eggs but only one hatched. That's 2 years in a row that only one egg hatched. 3 years back she had 3 that hatched.

Very protective of her chick (3 days old in these pic's) at the moment. When she isn't feeding him she is sitting on top of him!

Excellent Eric, these are terrific. It will be fun to watch this only child grow up.

amazing images of a rarely seen activity

Correction! I thought there was only 1 chick, but I spotted another little head today....Pictures coming soon!

I think I see the second one underneath her in the middle pic!
Awesome shots Eric.

Awesome shots! Love the 2nd one.
