Family of Ospreys on their nest at the CT Audubon Society's Coastal Center @ Milford Point, in MIlford, Connecticut.

 

The father is on the left, on top of the webcam....the mother is next on the nest, then three of the four little ones in a row.  This breeding pair has never had four at one time before....the last to hatch was only two days after the rest (I believe 2 days between each), yet is obviously smaller and runt-like.  It's amazing to watch and see the mother tear a piece of fish for the small one, then a big one, then back to the small one, then a different big one, then the small one, etc....

 

Check out the Ospreycam by the link below.  Sometimes, for whatever reason, the link decides not to work...if that happens just go to the CT Audubon Society's website and on the left will be a link to thye cam...... or do a Google.
