Baby ospreys hatch at Moraine State Park
Residents can now follow the beginning of the life of three osprey chicks.
The Moraine Preservation Fund is streaming newly born osprey on YouTube. Three chicks were born at Moraine State Park May 21.
The osprey nest sits along the shoreline of Lake Arthur in Moraine State Park. According to the fund, the area around Lake Arthur has one of the most significant clusters of osprey nests in Pennsylvania.
Ospreys are currently considered a recovering species, having previously been endangered. In an effort to help the species, The Moraine Preservation Fund established an Osprey Reintroduction Program in June of 1993. According to the fund, it was a huge success and resulted in 99 fledglings over a four-year period.
The livestream can be found at MorainePreservationFund Osprey Cam Live- 3 CHICKS! Hatch Dates: O19-5/18, O20-5/19, O21-5/21.
