Incubation period for osprey ... 35 - 40 days
Fledge period for osprey ... 7 - 8 weeks

Second is a red-tailed hawk in Ithaca, NY. One of the three eggs has hatched! The other two should be within days.

Egg #4

Egg #4, appeared sometime between 8:15 and 10:37.

Comparing Mom and Dad

Update: I caught a better pic of mom this morning. See third pic.

I have been trying to capture images of female and male on the nest to see the differences. I think you can see in the top image, that if she was turned fully sideways like the bottom image, that her tail feathers would hang onto that ledge. Where on the bottom photo his feathers dont reach the ledge.

Nest Talk

This is interesting video captured by Skygirlblue of the pair 'chatting' about the nest on April 9, three days before first egg. The male is the one you see the most of here.

Egg #3

Egg #3 - this pic taken about 1pm

Just got official word that the nest cams are on! (This is my view of the box from my office across the street.)
