Our pair of Lake Barkley ospreys produced their second new egg on camera at
11:14 am yesterday. Linda Chambers, Cape May, MA was the first person to report
sighting the second egg at about 6 pm EDT. KEEP checked 4,000 saved photos to
find the first image showing a second egg recorded at 11:14 am. A new 2009
second egg gallery is now available with 24 new photos. For the second time egg
laying took place during a severe thunder storm. In the new second egg gallery,
image 22 shows the strong force of the wind bending a wing back and a resulting
feather out of place in photo 23. Note how low the female stays to reduce the
impact of the high winds.
Check out the first video clip of the season using time lapse imaging to show
the complete egg laying sequence of the first egg arrival, one frame each 10
seconds.
