Well this sure is getting interesting

I can't record...my 'new computer has the same issue as the one I replaced... When the 'new computer' gets back from Memphis....I'll record

I can't watch nest cams while I'm out all day checking my nests, and this PC has no record, that I have time to figure out

Welcome to the 2012 season of Ethel and Oscar the Halifax, Nova Scotia Ospreys !

Cap is courtesy of Bev.. ( Irish Eyes)

In 2008 Nova Scotia Power and the Nova Scotia Museum of Natural History launched the Osprey cam to track the family of Ethel and Oscar and their offspring.. after nesting on a utility pole, power line technicians moved the nest to a safe location where the Osprey have returned to each spring.. for the protection of the birds the actual location of the nest is not released.

Link to cam....HERE

Link to 2010/ 2011 Nesting Seasons...HERE

2012 Season..

Cam on..
Thursday April 19, 2012.
Male Osprey was seen on April 14, 2012 by Kelly .. ground observer.. then Oscar was seen on the nest April 19, 2012..

Eggs laid..

Is the 2010 nest history correct

I have a re-nest with 2 eggs, 1 hatch 7/4/10, fledge 8/24/10. Just trying to confirm.

This nest, 2012, should have time to produce/fledge young if, key, if the mate issues are resolved soon.

Never a dull moment on this nest
