She made it through a very cold night in the 30s. For the rest of the week it is supposed to be around freezing every night. Sure hope she can keep the egg(s) warm enough

She does a good job keeping the eggs covered....the male is a little lacks when he takes over.

I wish i knew how to send you pictures. I take them at the site, but I don't how to get them to you. I e-mailed one to Beth (the one that confirmed the first egg) and she put it in for me

Hi Sparky...you can email any of us your pictures and we will post them for you...so email away...or..you can load them on your computer, upload them to a photo sharing service, such as Photobucket, and post them here yourself...

Is there anything besides Photobucket to use? I'm having a real problem with them :evil:

jazzel...I know there is, but I don't know what...I know Dutch Eagle fan posted a site a while back (I think it was DEF) I know there are other photo websites, but don't know if they provide the codes needed to post...

I've been recording in hopes of seeing an "egg roll" or changing of the guard....got the roll...but its gonna really be hard to count eggs....

Sorry guys ... I was off duty today. :roll:

Had company ... great pics SGB!

Glad they made it through the cold night. I hope it warms up down there now.

Sparky - please feel free to email any of us your pics. You can find our emails in the Member List (I think?).

This picture was taken at 8:00 a.m this morning and shows both birds made it through a cold, 38 degree night.

Hope it gets warmer for this couple and the eggs (?)...1/5 am

Tonight is going to be below freezing with a clear sky. This is going to be a real challenge for our Osprey couple. Even though I have not seen both of them on the nest together at the web cam, I walked down to the site and saw the male sitting close to the platform and the female on the nest.

This crazy weather - shesh!! The Mrs. is trying to keep warm, has her head tucked in. Wind is still blowing. I hope it warms up a little there soon!

I don't know what the forecast is for Florida, but Georgia is expecting even colder weather this weekend...possible single digits for us....I just hope it doesn't wind up in Fla as well........ :cold:

Sparky Jones · **Posted:** Wed Jan 06, 2010 7:02 am

Last night was very cold, below freezing. One bird is on the nest this morning, haven't seen other yet. We are supposed to have sustained cold weather for at least another week here in Dunedin. Does anyone know how well Osprey with eggs can do through this long term cold weather?
I'm getting worried!

I just checked in on the nest and saw both ospreys there. They were in the process of switching egg warming duties, and I must admit that they made the transfer very quickly. I don't think even the tiniest bit of cold air reached the egg!

(I sure hope it warms up soon here and elsewhere. I've had more than enough cold weather for this winter!)

Sparky Jones · **Posted:** Wed Jan 06, 2010 8:42 am

glad you saw both of them. With this weather i don't know how long it will be before we confirm eggs 2 and 3. Do you think they will be able to sustain eggs during this weather???? It is supposed to be brutal for at least another week.....i'm getting worried

Sparky...I am not sure.

Maybe Lisa or Ploughboy could help us with cold weather info and eggs?

Jazzel - Have you looked into Picasa? Don't know if it meets this board's parameters but has worked for me on other boards.

Wondering about the cold climate in Finland - especially at the beginning of the osprey mating season. The Finland osprey seem to be able to deal with the cold OK. Here's hoping the same will hold true for our Dunedin couple! Anyone know if more than one egg??
