The eggcitement is growing! Could we see a pip today? Barb laid the first of her eggs a little over a month ago in early April. Peregrine falcon eggs tend to incubate for 33-36 days so we should see signs of hatching any day now.

#WildlifeWednesday is the best day for a bird cam update! 🪺 Tom & Audrey are still incubating their three eggs. We expect to see some pips in early-June. (/webcams/osprey) 🥚 Pip watch has begun for Barb & Boh! We expect the first of their eggs to show signs of hatching any day now. (/webcams/peregrine-falcon) 🐣 Rell & Eddie's nest is getting a bit more crowded with a few chicks in the nest. Though hard to spot, a few light gray chicks can be seen in the lower right of the nest.

Congrats to the Live Stake Collaborative for collecting 100,000 stakes! Live stakes are plant cuttings that grow into new full-size plants, perfect for stream restoration. Susquehanna students and staff from our Freshwater Research Institute have been contributing to this project since its inception in 2019. Check out the full story in SU’s newsroom. @susquehannau @chesapeakeconservancy

Field day! Recently, our Chesapeake Tributaries Initiative members performed water quality assessments at one of our delisting catchments in Pennsylvania. This stream is just one of many where best management practices have been implemented on nearby farms. Their goal is to assess current water quality conditions by examining chemistry, habitat and benthic macroinvertebrates to see how conditions are changing.

Egg alert! Audrey laid her third egg this morning. Congrats to the expecting osprey parents. We tend to see three eggs from this nest so we're on incubation duty! Osprey eggs tend to incubate for a little over a month so we should start to see hatching signs by early-June.
