I have some more scaps from earlier.. will post later....

I would like to add at this time my sorrow in the loss of the Male Osprey.. my heart goes out to that nest.. Hope we hear for sure what happened to the deceased Osprey...

11:12am this morning
CHick wingercisng... Look at the incredibale wing span on the sweetie

Bev, always heartbreaking to lose a bird. Losing an adult is, as you know, the worst. I'm hoping this male didn't have a nest yet. Barb will let me know what they find from observing the many nests in the area...but Ospreys are not always near their nest....they fly to the fish, many miles...we may never know.

This nestling will be 6 weeks old Tuesday, Barb will hopefully have it banded soon if possible.

Thanks for observing

Thank you Jazzel... It is my pleasure to observe this nest.. I promised Jean i would ....thank you for the information.. Please keep me posted if you know when and if they will band the nestling... thank you....

Good Morning Dunedin, Good Morning Bev and Jazzel.

Thanks for the info Jazzel. Let me know if the banding is this week. We are still here in Florida till Sunday and could drive up there to see it. Sparky is away for the weekend so I didn't get the news from her yet.

Bev thanks for all the great pictures you are posting. Sure glad it wasn't our Dad! Captured a video of our chick getting a good hardy breakfast this morning.

Enjoying a Nice Breakfast

It's difficult to see, but there is a tall fence along the sidewalk to protect people and cars from getting hit with golf balls. The other nest is at the end of the fence. Then to the far right into the golf course is the other nest. The male that was found most likely was from one of those nests.

That's all... will check in again when I can! Thanks so much Bev for all your great documenting and s'capes!!

Good MOrning Duendin

Good Morning Jean and Jazzel... Jean...you are welcome and it is my pleasure.. love seeing the chick having breakfast..thank you for the picture of the sec. nest
