I noticed one of my coworkers today intently watching her laptop screen for a while.  Later, she jumped up with enthusiasm and showed me what she was watching.  Ferris State University has placed an osprey nesting box on a light pole in the middle of one of its parking lots.  A pair of osprey has taken up residence.  Now, a web cam gives instantaneous updates on the pair’s attempts to raise some kids.  While we watched today, we saw one small osprey that had just hatched and another egg that was just starting to hatch.  One of the parents even brought a fish to the nest from the Muskegon River for the little one to eat.  Very cool.  Anyway, here’s the link:
