Young ospreys begin peaking over the nest edges during June. Tuesdays and Thursdays are available for group requested cruises for a variety of cruise themes, durations, and times. Additional cruise times and themes will be added for the expanded summer schedule to be announced. An osprey song, written last summer at Lake Barkley, is performed for participants during all osprey nesting cruises. The song usually includes ospreys singing in the background.
Additional songs are available for other featured wildlife observed.
An osprey nesting survey, for all of Lake Barkley in Kentucky, is available for a limited number of public participants again this year. The osprey nesting survey, conducted in cooperation with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, is scheduled for July 9 and 10. Anyone wishing to attend one of these two special five hour survey cruises are encouraged to register early. Copyrighted 1998-2000 by Command Internet Services, Inc.
