Twice now I thought I saw movement in the nest that couldn't have been from chick 1 or 2, but I wasn't completely sure. Well, #3 finally poked it's head up! There is one on the left and two on the right, one right behind the other.

This is the the only view I have seen of the osprey family today. You can see the top of one of the parent's head in the lower left corner of the picture. They have been using the live feed to broadcast the senate hearing all day, and if they aren't showing the hearing they're aiming the camera at absolutely nothing. So frustrating!

I'm worried. We need to make sure the 3rd chick is okay! I came in on a feed and did not see it for a long time. Finally over time it raised it's head 3 times, but no movement of body as the others were doing. Unable to go back on timeline d/t malfunction that it does frequently, but may be able to go back later this eve as sometimes it doesn't work now, but next time it does.

:teehee: Apparently, I was right about the goldfish! Saw this post under a vid posted by the tv station to watch the chicks eating a meal the other day:

I counted my koi this morning! Dinner came from elsewhere, thank goodness!

I think Mom just fed the chicks (stream was choppy and there was a glare from the sun, and a darn stick!)...
I counted 3 - didn't see anyone get fed, but they were all moving (and bobbing!); as a matter of fact, they all looked feisty! One was facing the wrong way, but I didn't see any bonking....

:loveheart:

I saw some bonking yesterday between the two oldest. They weren't being fed at the time, they just looked like they needed something to do.

This was taken around 7:00 this morning. They're just so stinking cute!

Busy morning for the osprey family! I've already seen three feedings. This is the end of the first feeding:
Image

Mom had just got all three settled down for a nap when Dad showed up with another fish, presumably from his favorite Headless Fish Mart. Dad starts to nibble on the fish while one of the babies eyes him hoping for a bite:
Image

Mom finally decides to get up and begin feeding #2. Meanwhile, baby is slowly inching closer and closer to Dad, still hoping to score a bite. Surprise, surprise! Dad actually feeds junior the last bite he got before Mom took the fish away! Look at the baby here -- are we sure these ospreys aren't part giraffe?
Image

After feeding #2, Mom is getting the bunch settled down again when she either hears or sees the camera moving, prompting this brief staredown:
Image

Dad arrives with another purchase from the Headless Fish Mart, and the babies are ready for Round 3.
Image

Ew! Well, I guess we now know what that fish had for breakfast.
Image

Another close-up of our little darlings. Based on the amount of fuzzy down left, I'm guessing - and this is only a guess - that the oldest is on the right, the second oldest is on the left, and the baby is in the middle.

Wonderful coverage and photos, many thanks.
I watch when I can and I also was worried about
#3. They adults have been great parents this year.
AND 3 little ones are a lot to handle!

Well, #3 got stuffed this morning! He (or she) likes to hang back and wait for his turn. So far I haven't seen any aggressiveness during feeding. The worst they might do is steal a bite that's hanging out of another chick's mouth. Overall they're a very polite bunch.

The osprey nest has not been online since Tuesday. Yesterday the live feed was focused on the fire in London and the shootings in DC. Today the live feed shows the "We'll be right back" message. When I called the tv station I was told that they are "working on it and hope to have the osprey nest back online in a couple of days." I asked if there is a technical problem with the feed or a problem with the osprey nest itself, but she didn't know. She was instructed to give the above statement to anyone who inquired about the ospreys.

These pictures were all taken on Tuesday, June 13th.

Early morning, just after sunrise but before the red light had shut off for the day.
Image

Breakfast! Even more of the chick's fuzzy down has fallen out and little feathers are starting to emerge.
Image

This is the last picture I have of the nest, taken around 7pm. It appears the camera was the victim of a well-aimed PS.

I called the TV station again today, because I'm nothing if not persistent. :biggrin:

They told me their webcam is broken and the engineers are trying to fix it. Let's hope they are successful!
