Thanks for posting the nice video....maybe by nest season I'll learn how to do videos!!!!

SGB, there were actually 4 eggs. The male did his best to incubate them, but the female just watched :roll: ...so the eggs never hatched. The male started covering the eggs with nesting material in early July. They're buried in in the nest. Both ospreys are on the nest everyday, and doing very well as you can see in this pic from yesterday morning. The male is still building up the nest, like it was April :think

The male is the one standing in the nest, the female, as usual, is the one eating the fish :lol:

Thanks Jazzel...I knew it had started with 4 eggs and then the mysterious disappearances...are they young/first time parents?

I'm 100% sure the male is the resident male from previous seasons, he has a very distinct head mark. I'm 90% sure the female is also last seasons resident, I'm still going over her head shots. The old cam was so bad it's harder to get clear pics of her.

They had many intruder issues this season and got a very late start on nest repairs and egg laying. Rob said it's likely the female just didn't have enough of a hormone level to get the incubation message...

Both continue to come to the nest......everyday. The male is still working hard adding nesting material and bringing the female fish. This morning after she took the fish from him, she gave him a nasty peck in the head for his trouble. Maybe she was expecting a bigger fish.
