The female osprey laid her third egg on May 13. Ospreys typically lay between one and three eggs about three days apart. The first chick is expected to hatch around June 15.<\/strong>

Even from the ground, ospreys, a beautiful native bird of prey, can easily capture the attention of Grand County\u2019s recreators with their smooth flights and swift movements.<\/p>\n

Their natural ability to awe is magnified when viewers can get a bird\u2019s eye view of the ospreys, local Kent Roorda has learned.<\/p>\n

Roorda hosts an online live stream of an osprey couple that\u2019s living in his backyard in Grand Lake during the spring and summer months. This year, the ospreys returned to their nest on April 15 and began mating.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat seems to be the magic date every year \u2026 give or take one or two days,\u201d Roorda said.<\/p>\n
