Nova Scotia Ethel and Oscar :loveshow:

May 10, 2010

Nova Scotia Power and the Museum of Natural History are partnering for a
fourth year to allow people worldwide into the home of our favourite ospreys,
Ethel and Oscar, with the help of the 2010 OspreyCam.

The nesting osprey couple has returned. Ethel has laid her eggs just in time
for Mother’s Day.

The webcam is live through May and August. Nova Scotians and wildlife
enthusiasts all over the world can see Ethel, Oscar and their future
offspring at http://museum.gov.ns.ca/mnh/osprey/index.asp

The OspreyCam has become a ritual of sorts for many Nova Scotia Power
employees.

“My wife and I usually check it out every year,” said power line technician
Danny Walker. “It’s an interesting combination of giving everyone the views
the linemen see daily, and getting to watch these osprey in real time.”

Osprey arrive in Nova Scotia during late March and April. Eggs are typically laid
during April and May. Through the OspreyCam, viewers will have a glimpse of
the incubation period (31-41 days), hatching and rearing.

“It’s really nice to see that people have come to appreciate the OspreyCam so much,”
said Janet Maltby, manager of the Museum of Natural History,
“A lot of people have seen the OspreyCam over the last few years.
It’s a terrific and rare opportunity to see these birds nesting.”

Visitors can also visit the Museum of Natural History in Halifax to see
an osprey display, including a real osprey nest on top of a power pole
and information about Nova Scotia Power’s Osprey Relocation Program.

The Museum of Natural History will be re-opening June 4th, after a 9 month
closure for renovations.

photos from previous years.

The cam has been down more than up this season. Last week I contacted the site for an update, I haven't had time to post the reply until now :oops: The cam is still frozen today :x This is the reply I received on 6/21.

"We are so glad you have been following the ospreys! We are very excited to give viewers a chance to watch them again.

There are two eggs in the nest right now, usually kept company by Oscar. We think that this is the second batch of eggs that Oscar and Ethel have had, the first batch could have had many things happen to them, such as being stolen or eaten. The first time we spotted this second batch was on June 10th, but we think they have been there longer. Egg laying begins at the end of April and continues into mid-May with incubation taking 34 to 40 days.

We do not have the exact dates that the birds returned from migration, however they usually arrive here at the end of March, and in early to mid-April.

Thanks again for being engaged with the ospreys. I hope this information helps.

Happy first day of summer!"

The cam is back. There are still two eggs, two adults taking care of each other, and their eggs. This is a second clutch (reported buy the cam site), first observed on 6/10. This would mean the eggs are a minimum of 20 days today, hopefully the eggs were laid earlier than noticed by the site staff. At best, this would be a very late fledge, and migration for all!!!

Also, very interesting!!! The site report states "There are two eggs in the nest right now, usually kept company by "Oscar"....Woods Hole anyone? :o :shock: I need to watch, now that the cam is back, and think about this :thud

Pics from today.

Kitten, it could, it may have already (after 5:30). The best would be if it doesn't hatch...this is a very late nest, second clutch for this pair. You know...."a bird in the hand, is worth two in the bush". I'm just hoping for the best :smilesun:

Kitten, thanks for posting your pic :loveshow: I'm behind on posts :buzzybee:

For anyone interested in naming birds....I received this email(2) from Maeghan :smilesun:


"Good morning,
 
As many of you may know, Ethel and Oscar have a new addition to the nest! On Sunday, July 4th their first egg hatched. As nature has it, chances are we won’t see the other egg hatch, but it is great to have one new chick to watch.

We want your help deciding what the chick should be named. Submissions will be accepted until July 23rd and the most popular names will be put into an online poll. You will then have the chance to vote for your favourite name.

Please note that the sex of the baby cannot be determined from the OspreyCam view, so we encourage unisex names.
 
Thanks again for being engaged with the ospreys. It's fantastic to see so much interest in Nova Scotia's provincial bird!
 
Have a great day!
 
Maeghan

Hi again,
 
I forgot to include the link to the name submission page - sorry about that. Submit your favourite name here:

All the best,"
