This just in from Smith Mountain Lake State Park-the first hatch on the osprey cam. Join us in welcoming the newest member of the State Parks Family! Assistant Manager Nate Clark wrote me this morning with the news that the first of the four eggs in our Smith Mountain Lake osprey nest LIVE CAM has hatched. You can see the chick in this video recorded earlier this morning: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/32858517 The hatch watch begins in earnest for the rest of the eggs. Be sure to check in at the LIVE CAM regularly.
