I know this sounds crazy,but if you enlarge my first picture with Mom and Dad,it looks like there is a chick in the nest right behind Mom :egg13:

What do you see :egg16:

I do believe we have our first hatch :egg5:

The chick is being fed right now :egg 19:

We have our second hatch :egghatch:

This looks like Dad is taking away part of an egg shell from the second hatch :egg9:

Here's another feeding :egg7:

I captured these pictures earlier today.I can hardly wait until these chicks grow alittle more so they will be easier to see :egg11:

Does anyone else see a pip in the last egg :egg13:

I think the third egg will hatch early Friday morning :egg9:

These chicks are finally getting big enough for me to capture acouple of good pictures of a feeding :egg7:

I'm guessing we have 2 females and 1 male this year :egg9:

I just read that one of our chicks has passed away :egg10:

I haven't been watching like I used to due to it being soooo hard to see the chicks when they were small.I thought I caught a picture of three chicks,but I guess I was wrong :egg16:

Here's a few pictures I captured a few minuets ago.

Here's one of Mom taking off :egg8:

Both chicks, Ron and Tilly, fledged successfully, and the nest has been empty most of the time lately. Yesterday there were three ospreys in the nest:

Yesterday - Blackwater TV

Lisa posted today that someone got a pic on 9/17 of a Eagle so dad "O" must have left.

I checked today :)))
