Some fun videos…..this is one of the first chicks to hatch in the metro and he is very close to fledging. Still needs to get a little more loft, but he is working hard at it! When I was new at this osprey monitoring, I used to count the flaps….and when they get serious about fledging they will flap 30, 40, 50 times or more! They will be hopping and getting some loft and eventually hovering a few feet above the nest! It’s very exciting.…makes my heart rate go up!
