Woo hoo...I just read about this on chat at the OKC owl cam and was about to post about it. I am so glad someone is making good use of this nest. 2 eggs - great news. Thanks Beth!

Landings Bird Cam - Savannah
I'm so sorry to have to share this info today:
>Over the last two days, the Osprey pair on camera have been harassed and attacked by at least one aggressive Osprey. Following these recent attacks, the nestling has appeared listless and hasn't responded to the parents' attempts to feed it. At this point, it is unlikely that the chick will survive.

News from Cornell Lab of Ornithology:
"Unfortunately, despite our hopes that the nestling's condition would improve, it appears to have succumbed to its injuries and died.
Since there are eggs still in the nest, the adults will likely continue to incubate the eggs and defend the nest for some time ranging from weeks to even months. They may also continue to try to care for the deceased nestling. Thanks for watching and learning with us."
And I'd like to add this sentiment from one of our facebook followers:
>>"Thanks for the joy and smiles you brought us during the short time you were here."

>A new day dawns over the nest tree. Here's a lovely quote from a dear friend: "Nature is the truest
reality show, bringing both joy and tears - we must accept them both."
At 8:10 this morning the female removed the body of the chick from the nest.

I noticed 3 eggs were laid last spring,
1 chick died
apparantly neither RRP nor bcaw followed afterward.
Does anyone know if this nest fledged a chick?

:spring1:

No fledge (2017) from this nest...

BUT today we have a Osprey on the nest.
I believe they has been working on the nest
since the last week of January.

Yea!!

no fledge?
what happened to baby?

Beth · **Posted:** Sat Feb 10, 2018 1:18 pm

I believe the 2017 parents were young and
defending the nest left the little one
alone. Little ones can only be left a
short timeframe.

Lets hope for a happy 2018 nesting season...

you think a GHO got it?
Thats what happens -
eagle or GHO

No, it was left out in the elements.
Just to small for a parent to leave
without protection of a warm body and food.

Both!

Cam 1 & 2 are down but they are working on it!
