Congratulations to Mr. Pellock's class from PPMS! We received this picture from them Tuesday. As of today, the third egg has hatched (see picture below - another thanks to PPMS). Keep watching and sending us pictures as there will be a lot of feeding action in the nest. The babies will need to grow big so they will be ready to leave the nest in August. Check out the Picture Gallery for extra pictures that have been sent in to us. [email protected]
At any time now, the first egg can hatch. The final 2017 OSPREY CLASS PRIZE will go to the class that sends us the first screen shot of the baby once it has cracked through the shell. We are looking forward to all of the babies breaking through! send pix to [email protected]
Our pair of Osprey have three eggs for the season. We expect that the first egg will hatch within the next two weeks. A thank you to Mr. Pellock's class from Plum Point Middle for sending this picture to us. Please send more pictures our way so we can share them.

Please continue to share any osprey/prey pictures as well. Will there be a fourth egg? Thanks again to Mill Creek Middle, Ms. Gallihugh, for sending in this picture of the three eggs. Look for the chicks within the next 3.5-4 weeks!

First image of fish in nestWow! There has been a lot of activity at the osprey nest today! Cyrus C., a student from Mr. Kohan’s class at Plum Point Middle School spotted one of the ospreys dining on a fish. It appears to be a White Perch, though a little hard to tell for sure. The next winner will be for the class that photographs the first osprey egg. Keep watching and please don’t forget to share any more images of the ospreys that your students collect.
