The Osprey babies stuck their heads above the top of the nest several times today. I could not get them in sharp focus. This is with a zoom lens and heavily cropped. When they grow bigger I hope to get some better images. Most of the time I was looking at the nest I did not see them, and sometimes I saw one head. I have a few images where two heads were visible. They are very small. Have a great Monday!
Welcome, babies!

I saw them mate around April 5. They say two to three days later it will lay eggs.That would be April 8. Then it takes an average of 39 days to hatch. That would mean one hatched maybe on May 17th. So about two weeks before I saw a head, if she produced an egg when mating on April 5.
