If you see female Ospreys sitting low on their nests now, they have started incubating. Ophelia, the Salt Point Natural Area's female in Lansing, laid her first egg— a lovely chocolate brown, cream, rust, and chestnut color—on Easter, April 12. (I'm still trying to ascertain the exact time on the Osprey Cam.) Eggs are usually laid in the morning and I'm guessing Ophelia's second egg was probably laid this morning. Check out the Salt Point Osprey Nest Cam for pictures.
