PSNH Osprey Update  -  April, 2008

The Osprey have returned!

Our pair of Osprey has returned to the nest the birds occupied last year. 

This year should be particularly exciting because of a few "upgrades" we made over the winter.  First, we built a new and sturdier platform for the nest, which the Osprey continue to enlarge.  We also upgraded our video camera system for a steadier shot with better resolution. (The new camera will be operational soon.)

Osprey Factoid:  Experienced ospreys will typically lay three eggs each season in late April to early May. Both adults will incubate the eggs; however, the females do most of the incubating while the males supply the majority of the food to the family. A clutch of eggs incubates about 40 days before hatching.

Watch the Opreys from the hidden video camera that captures live images of Osprey activity at a nest at PSNH’s Ayers Island Hydro Plant in New Hampton, NH.

So that our many thousands of visitors can enjoy this feature, we are limiting the duration of individual connections to the live Ospreycam to 10 minutes.

If you receive a message stating that your session is over before the osprey footage begins, it is because all of the connections are full, so please wait and try again.
