Friday Morning July 22, 2016Dear Friends, Customers & Viewers Worldwide: Thank you for enjoying with us, Snappy’s “Osprey Cam”, and for following this wonderful natural phenomenon of these beautiful raptors. It’s been quite terrific to view and follow these magnificent birds – their nest building and mating, their patient process of feeding and waiting for eggs, then the laying of three eggs, the hatching of two chicks, and now “Duke & Duchess” raising their offspring, soon to fledge (def: leaving of the nest). Also, I would like to extend a very sincere thank you to Mr. Doug MacCarter, who has achieved extensive graduate studies on the osprey species, and who has provided to us, invaluable counsel and knowledge. Most important, he has become a great friend. THANK YOU, DOUG! And the following are some educational tidbits, passed through to you, direct from Mr. MacCarter.
Thanks again for joining and observing. Please also join us in naming the chicks, which we will continue through Sunday, July 31st. All the best, B. J. Lupton

Thank you for all the fascinating info & timelines of what to expect in the coming weeks. Answered all my current questions! I did observe one chick doing a little wing flapping a day or so ago & was awed by the wing span already.

We watched the third egg being moved around the nest, sometimes several times per day. When was the third egg dispatched from the nest? And, was anyone able to determine the contents of that egg?

Wow, the chicks are so close to fledging....spreading their wings, looking around at the world awaiting them....Sure going to miss them....they are like part of our family after all these months of observing them grow, and parents keeping watch over them.

It appears that Duke and Duchess are already gone. I've only seen one fledging recently. Has one already left?
