We noticed a large bird visiting our Osprey nest over the last couple days. Sure enough, again today, we got another visit. I was able to pull some video and pictures. Pretty cool to see this Bald Eagle pop in and check things out.

Congrats! to Duke and Duchess. First chick arrived today! Mom and dad are already feeding the little tyke. We still have two more eggs to go, but we are well on our way. 

Things happened a bit earlier this year then in the past. We had previously seen our chicks hatch in the first week in June. Looks like this little one just couldn't wait.

Three Eggs - 2018

5/23/2018

 
Picture
My Apologies for all that follow our #OspreyMontana.com cam about the delay in getting this posted. We confirmed on 05/01/2018 that we have Three (3) Eggs in our nest again this year. Congrats to Duchess and Duke and we all hope for the best for these three potential chicks. 

Last year we saw the first chick hatch the first week of June. So keep your eyes open in the next couple weeks and we hope to see some small bundles of fuzz in the nest.

Duke Has Landed

4/4/2018

 

We Have Osprey!
​This time it is not April Fools

Looks like Duke made it back. Showed up just this evening at 5:40pm. This signals the start of another year for us to observe Duke and Duchess raising their chicks. We can't wait to see what this year has in store! 

​You can watch 24/7 at www.ospreymontana.com and follow along.
Please feel free to pass it along to your friends and family.

What a great thing to wake up to on April 1st this year. Two birds touched down in our nest. They felt right at home and were soon nestled down and enjoying their perch. Feels great to have birds in the nest starting our 2018 season!

Osprey Population In The Flathead Valley

9/9/2017

7 Comments

 
By Doug MacCarter

I would like to thank all of you who participated in viewing the Ospreys at Snappy's. Three years of collecting data on Ospreys in the Flathead Valley indicates that the population trend of Ospreys has remained stable. The average number of occupied nests ( both parents) was 25, producing an average of 32 young per year. Fledging success average 93%. Studying the reproductive performance of Ospreys shows a productivity (number of young per occupied nest) rate of 1.3. It is believed that each breeding pair in the population must reproduce an average of .95 to 1.30. This productivity seems to be sufficient to maintain a stable population. Tune in for next year.
