Oh dear! Last weeks storm destroyed the nest. The dead tree snapped in two. Thankfully all four osprey are safe, and they continue to gather at a nearby tree.
So excited to watch both chicks practicing flying, then returning to the nest. Both are doing very well. A great blue heron nest nearby has two new fliers as well.
I spotted a chick 6/6/2015 and was so excited to see the family growing. Darn though, I saw the chick one or times after that, and now I don't see him anymore. both adults are still active in the area, and sit on the nest, but no chicks!
I have been away for a week and couldn't wait to get back to observe. One adult was sitting on the nest, the other close by. Visited today, and yesterday.
I watched this nest last year, and it was late compared to other FLSP nests. One chick was hatched, and I watched him/her all season. The pics I posted this year are of the first adult arrival (3/15/2015) and then two adults observed 3/19/2015. Let the games begin!
