May 2016 - Osprey Eggs Destroyed

A young osprey couple called CBF's Bay Cam nest their home and even produced some eggs. Unfortunately, those eggs were consumed by a crow when left unattended.

The Chesapeake Bay has the most concentrated population of osprey in the world with more than 2,000 nesting pairs. After the females lay eggs (which they incubate for one to two months), the devoted parents stick together and feed and care for the nestlings for 40-55 days after hatching until they learn to fly. Keep an eye on our Bay cam.
