Yadkin Ospreys Take Flight


Those of you who have been following our OspreyCam know that our three baby chicks – Ollie, Olive and Oscar Jr. – have recently taken flight and are preparing to leave the next and migrate south in the next few weeks.

We’ve received a ton of positive feedback about the OspreyCam and I wanted to share a few comments with you:

 “I want to thank you all for your time and effort and taking care of the camera so we can all enjoy watching Oscar & Oliveea and their babies.  I am an elementary school teacher in Los Angeles, and my classes and I have enjoyed the past two years of the activity there in Yadkin atop the dam.  It is so wonderful!  Will be tuning in next winter to see the new family of babies!!  Thanks so much, and God bless you all.”

“Thank you for this wonderful site!  I just discovered it this year and have deeply enjoyed watching the little family start and grow!  I am sure I will miss them when they leave this year, but looking forward to following it all again next year. Thank you for helping our wildlife and giving us a site like this to learn and enjoy.”

We look forward to watching the osprey again next year and hope you will join us to see the arrival of a new set of baby chicks. Osprey typically began working on their nest atop the Narrows Dam at Badin Lake in March. The chicks hatch in late April and take flight in June.
