One of the parents watches the babies as the other hunts for food.
At Commodore Park near the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks, a family of osprey has moved into a man-made nest, Seattle City Light reports.
The nest, a 4-by-4 platform secured on a 70-foot pole, was built back in March to provide a safe nesting habitat for breeding ospreys. Seattle Department of Parks and Recreation, Seattle City Light, Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife and the Northern Santa Fe Railroad all teamed up to work on the project.
In 2009, ospreys were seen nesting on a 90-year-old, deteriorating telegraph pole on the trestle bridge, according to an older City Light post. In 2011, it was removed before osprey mating season due to potential safety issues. The new, much safer platform then is something of an upgrade for osprey families.
It wasn't long before a certain male and female osprey duo made the new platform their home and successfully hatched two babies. Given that you can find a high enough vantage point, you should be able to spot them.
No names have been given to the ospreys yet, but it's never too late.
