The osprey couple with their two chicks June 3, 2025.
On June 2, 2025 the ospreycam at Middle Farms nest captured the second chick hatching from its egg – 2 days after the first chick hatched. Neighboring grackle continued to harass the parents as they provided fish for the chicks and tended to the nest and the remaining egg.
The video clips below capture some of the nest activities during the first two days for the second chick.
