Osprey Cam Now Live!

Ethel and Oscar returned to their nest in the Halifax Regional Municipality the first week of April.

They quickly started building up their nest; it is considerably bigger this year.

Ethel laid three eggs the second week in May. Only one chick hatched this year, the second week of June.

That may have been due to cold and wet weather during the period in which she was brooding.

Since that single chick is getting a lot of food, it is big for its age.
