I ran out today to check the nest that had the latest hatch/ fledge……I was so happy to find at least one chick still here….and got to see Dad deliver a fish to this young one. Another nearby nest had a chick two days ago, but the nest was sadly empty today. We are having strong winds from the north today so this may have been the deciding factor for some of our remaining ospreys. Still, I savored watching that beautiful juvenile osprey sitting in a tree with yellow leaves fluttering in the wind. Suddenly the youngster broke into a desperate whine and flew to the nest and was able to see the Dad as he dropped the fish and then went to the tree where the chick had been perched. Gosh, at this time of year they seem so precious!
