Osprey Part 2 - Eggs, Chicks, and Foster Families - Livestream

In 2023, Stephanie Ellis, Wild Care's Executive Director was tasked with incubating two sets of Osprey eggs, raising the chicks and finding them suitable wild foster nests. In 2024, Stephanie gave a wonderful Birdy Hour talk for our Fall Challenge about this experience, which you can watch for free on our website.

At this year's Birdy Hour, Stephanie will discuss this intensive process along with its successes and challenges, and how the strategies have changed in the past three years. In 2025, Stephanie worked with a local utility company to find suitable nests and gave an infertile Osprey mother a chance to hatch her own eggs. Stephanie will touch upon the history of Osprey on Cape Cod - a true conservation success story, and discuss legalities involved in working with Osprey nests, eggs and chicks.
