🚨FACT FRIDAY🚨 Osprey are quite expressive and great communicators, primarily because they have 8 unique vocalizations and 11 physical displays to express feelings and convey a message! P.S. Jack and Edie have two chicks now, and they’re already making quiet little noises too!
Gotta love these silly little bobble-headed guys
Welcome go the world CO7! (Captiva Osprey 7) 🐣 Just a few moments ago, we got another glimpse of the new Osprey chick! The hatch occurred sometime overnight and we got our first view at 7:39 AM EDT. Tune in on Twitch or YouTube to see for yourself! 🥰
It’s tiring work being a parent, and the eggs haven’t even hatched yet! But we’re hoping for a hatch sometime this week. Tune in on Twitch or YouTube to watch with us!🤞🐣
🚨FACT FRIDAY🚨 Osprey feathers are not naturally waterproof, but they can make them highly water resistant using waxes/oils produced by the preen gland. This helps greatly given their sea-faring lifestyle! Here you can see water beading up as opposed to soaking into feathers.
🚨FACT FRIDAY🚨 Osprey have been observed having a nearly 70% success rate on fishing attempts! Most of our followers may be familiar with the fact Osprey are excellent fishers, but may not know (until now) that the average Osprey will catch a fish once every four attempts! 🎣
Edie and Jack are still working hard to take care of their 4(!!!!!) eggs! We’re ~ 7-10 days out from when we anticipate the first one may hatch 🐣
🚨FACT FRIDAY🚨 During nesting season, most birds will develop a “brood patch”, which is a section of no feathers or significantly fewer feathers on their underside. This is because feathers are an effective insulator, and would inhibit the warming benefit of incubation!
The best part of this might be Edie’s reaction afterwards ❗️

Jack: “AAAAAAAA”, poops, refuses to elaborate, leaves. ??? Life of a bird
🚨FACT FRIDAY🚨 Osprey nests can get quite big (some as big as 5 feet across and 2 feet deep in the first year!). Sometimes other species will use Osprey nests for themselves too. Cavity-nesting birds like tree swallows have even been observed building nests inside them!
Angel Watch is in full effect! Both Angel and Tom have been visiting the nest multiple times a day and bringing nesting materials as well 🪹
🚨FACT FRIDAY🚨 The osprey species is at least 11 million years old! 🗓️ In addition, because they have been around for so long, they have some cool adaptations for their fish-hunting lifestyle! Osprey have the ability to close their nostrils when they dive for fish 🎣
For those keeping score at home: 🥚🥚🥚 Jack and Edie have quite the potential brood developing with 3 eggs now! Be sure to tune in on YouTube or Twitch to watch them
🚨FACT FRIDAY🚨 Osprey can be found on every continent except Antarctica! Though ornithologists estimate a global population of less than half of the Red-Tailed Hawk (1.2m vs 3.1m), Osprey can be found nearly globally, whereas the RTH is in primarily North and Central America.
As if the day couldn’t be any more egg-citing, Edie and Jack now have 2 eggs in the nest as of roughly 12:20 PM, EDT! 🥚🥚
After 85 days from hatch to fledge, Cal (CE11) has officially flown away from the nest for the first time! We’re so happy to have some good news to share with everyone. The still image here is Cal in a nearby tree 🦅
EGG ALERT!!!! 🥚 Just a few minutes ago we got our first look at an Osprey egg for this season! We’re so excited to watch Jack and Edie during this process.
