Osprey Family


Here are the pair of osprey from the nest box on the telephone pole. I have been keeping an eye on the nest (from a distance) to see if I can tell if she has any chicks yet.  The other day it almost looked like she could be feeding babies, but it is also possible she was simply devouring the fish herself.  It seems to me, though, that the male has stepped up his feeding schedule and I have seen her join him in looking for fish once or twice, so maybe they are feeding chicks now.  A little head or two would answer the question.
