Subject: first egg!!!


The first egg was laid at http://DunedinOspreyCam.org Saturday, March 16 in the afternoon. We were getting concerned because egg laying is normally January/February in this part of Florida. Also, the female seems quite young. In fact we don't even think she is the same female that was at the nest earlier in the season.

There is a good chance that one or two more eggs will be laid within the week. Normal incubation time for Osprey eggs is 32 - 43 days.

The egg is the normal reddish brown color. The female will spend most of her time incubating or sitting on the egg(s). She will occasionally get up and roll the egg around. The male also will give her a break and incubate the egg himself. The male will spend most of his time hunting for fish. He will eat first and then bring the rest of the fish back for the female.

This picture below was taken by Anne Lavelle.

Thanks to the City of Dunedin and sponsors for making the OspreyCam possible. Also thank you to our many viewers for supplying wonderful pictures, videos and commentary on the birds.

Should be an exciting rest of the season.

First Feeding for our New Little Chick at Dunedin

Julkaistu kello 25.04.2013

Stirling brought a fish for the new little chick. At first it looked like Pinella didn't know what she was supposed to do and then with a little coaxing from Stirling, she began feeding the baby

Jean / Dunedin Osprey Cam Facebook kirjoitti: Good Afternoon Friends! It has been a very tearful day for us at the Dunedin Cam! Sparky was removed from the nest for banding this morning and went into shock. For those that were watching and saw the truck race away, he was taken to a local rehabber but did not survive. It is thought that he had a weak heart and was unusually small for his age. As more information is passed on to us, I will be sure to post for all our viewers!

A special thanks to Nancy Abouhanna for posting news our loss. I have been having a hard time trying to gather my thoughts to post this information! - Jean

Nancy's Post:

It is with great sadness to let everyone here know that our little Sparky has passed away today 06.10.2013 Monday in Dunedin, FL I received word from Barbara Walker that Sparky didn't make it once at the rehab center. I do not know the cause of his death. Please, everyone say prayers everyday to help Pinella and Stirling to begin healing their broken hearts. They need the prayers. Sparky was a survivor from when he was born, bring such joy to his parents with how he grew so handsomely fast and was wingersizing, eating on his own at times. Sparky will never be forgotten and will always be remembered in our thoughts, prayers, souls. May God give peace to his broken hearted parents.
