This is day 40 of incubation. Ospreys incubate between 35 and 42 days. The pair has survived one of the longest periods of freezing weather in the history of Florida. One chick began fledging by March 23rd of last year. It has been confirmed that there are 3 eggs in the nest. A common concern is the reduction of the fish population due to the freezing temperatures. The Ospreys seem to be getting enough fish now, but it is a concern whether the food supply has been impacted so much that offspring will have trouble getting enough to eat causing a high mortality rate due to emaciation. Time will tell.....

Our mission is to enable Dunedin's residents, visitors and students to look inside a local osprey nest on-line, to see eggs when they are laid, watch the eggs hatch and track the development of young ospreys until they fledge. A major component of this project is education. A curriculum for fourth and fifth graders has been developed to incorporate the project into classrooms across the city, county and state.
