Live video from Grand Lake Osprey camera
September 20: Hello Everyone. It has been eerily quiet around my home today. When the Ospreys are here, they generally ‘chat’ quite a bit, especially if they are bringing a freshly caught fish to the nest. As I mentioned previously, my past calendars all indicate that the Ospreys have left on, or very close to this date every year. This has been an interesting year in many regards, especially in that a number of events occurred a bit earlier than in previous years, such as fledging from the nest, which occurred a few weeks earlier this year – and without their ‘adult’ feathers completely replacing their ‘baby’ feather. The gestation time of the eggs was also nearly two weeks shorted this year. Thanks again to all of you for your help, participation, encouragement, and contributions. In a week or so, I will start making some upgrades and performing maintenance on the camera and nest. Do continue to stay tuned to the camera as I will be repositioning it so that you will be able to see great views of Shadow Mountain Lake, the Continental Diving and many beautiful sunrises and sunsets. . If you would like to hear the audio from the nest, move your curser to the lower LEFT corner of the picture and click on the speaker you will see. You can also adjust the volume of the audio by moving the cursor to the left or right on the audio lines. It you would like to watch the Osprey 'full screen', click on the small square in the lower right corner of the picture. A number of you have made VERY generous contributions to help me keep this video stream going and to maintain the nest and camera. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
