YOU ARE THERE - LIVE!
Reality Video: Osprey Family, Hellgate Canyon, Missoula, Montana
Just click the following link and you will be immediately tele-transported to visit an osprey family's home where you will have the unique opportunity to share in their joys and also, perhaps their sorrows, in the coming weeks.
Come back often to check on progress! View the live-stream video at:
6/15/2013 - The eggs, which mom is now so carefully and patiently tending, will hatch (we hope) soon
6/19/2013 - Two baby ospreys hatched
6/26/2013 - Both babies are apparently doing well. They are now often visible in the nest.
7/4/2013 - Both chicks have grown much larger since my last observation and update. They now appear to have pin feathers and can 'almost' stand up for brief periods. Mother seems to spend much of her time shielding them from the hot, summer, Montana sun with her wings and body.
7/13/2013 - Both youngsters appear to be growing rapidly. I saw one of them recently standing rather confidently near the edge of the nest. Father osprey had just returned to the nest with a small fish that was quickly torn into 'bite sized' pieces for Mama and the kids. Father now seems to be rearranging some of the sticks in the nest, perhaps to give a bit more room for his familyl
8/24/2013 - OMG and Damn! ..... I apologize for not keeping us updated on our osprey family. Sorry! All I can see now on the video cam is an EMPTY NEST. I missed all the action! Apparently, the baby birds both learned how to fly and the entire family has migrated south (likely to either Forida, Central America or South America) to spend the winter.
8/25/2013, UPDATE: OPPS! I see today that at least one member of our osprey family is back in the nest, happily eating a fish. I suspect a wildfire in the area seriously disrupted the osprey's normal routine and caused them to abandon the nest for awhile. See the following link:
