Osprey Update: June 6
Wow! That is a fresh, big flounder - it's still moving! The 2nd hatched nestling is 2 weeks old today. They are being fed well and growing fast.


Osprey Update: June 5
What a difference a week makes. The oldest nestling is 2 weeks old today. All three nestlings are robust eaters. Here the female feeds each one bits of fresh fish - each getting their turn. And, if the chunk is too big - mama eats it. At 2 weeks old (and nearly 2 weeks) these osprey nestling have doubled in size. The one on the right has already laid its head down for a nap, the other 2 will follow suit.


Osprey Update: May 28
At less than 1 week old, the 3 osprey nestlings are being well fex.
