Mom continues to bring new sticks and bedding to the nest. This was around 12:50 nest time.



I have a few more pictures but we are heading to the gym now. I'll try to post some of them when I get back. Will run my video just in case Dad arrives. Hope you are doing the same Darlene!

No, sorry, I am at work so can't run video or take scaps. I have been taking my breaks at my desk so I can post and watch while on my break!

That was cool to see the male osprey that came in, hoping. Fun to watch this cam again.

Thanks's all - Jean and Darlene.

I'm back for just a few minutes and then it's time for me to call it a night. I kept a video running while we were at the gym, but nothing much happened. No signs of Dad. Mom did make several trips to the nest bringing more sticks and bedding and arranging them. At one point she mantled a little bit and then layed down in the nest. Wonder if the intruder was back again. I didn't see him/her attempt to land in the nest this time. Mom was just on the defensive side.


4:06pm- Landing with another stick.


4:06pm- Moving it to the side.


4:11pm- laying in nest. An intruder must be around and she is being defensive of her nest!


HI Carolyn! Thanks for stopping in! Sure hope Dad arrives soon. Looks like Mom has at least one interested male that wants to court her!

6:38pm- Look at this large stick Mom flew in with! It's amazing how she could fly with it!


6:38pm- Laying it in place.

Time for me to say Good Night. Hope everyone has a good evening!
