The three Osprey pairs at the river have been sitting eggs now for several weeks. Typically, three eggs are laid with an incubation period of 32-43 days. Both the male and female take on nesting duties, however the female sits more while the male brings food. I've tried not to disturb the most accessible of the nests during this period, although we do drive by almost daily and are accustomed to seeing just the top of the Osprey head. Last evening, the female was on the rim of the nest. The male soon joined her offering I'm not sure what little tidbit he had pulled from the adjacent creek feeding into the river. I believe we should see a change in activity in about another week and a half when the first of the eggs hatch.
