Been a while SG members!
This year we got the live osprey nest streams back up and running. The nests are out in the middle of the Patuxent River, a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay. Presently nest 1 has 2 eggs and nest 2 has 1 egg. Nest 1 is powered by 2 400w solar panels, nest 2 has 40v ac in a conduit from shore to the platform.
Enjoy:

Both nests now have hatched babies. The youtube live stream can be rewound to spot feedings.
