![]() I will share that information with you, but there are more nests with larger broods. At that time, we can tell you the % of 2, 3, and 4 chick nests, % that fledged, the % that died and how they died. When all of the ospreys have migrated or fledged and left their territory (September), Claudio and I will crunch the numbers. ‘A’ asked me if there are more than three and four chick osprey nests this year, and the answer is yes. ![]() How many times do I wish there was only one spoiled, well-fed chick at each nest? The Only Bob at Cowlitz appears to be doing well. The three at Barnegat Light are doing fine so far. There is nothing sweeter than a newly hatched osplet – and nothing worse that a hungry Osprey fledgling (like Big and Middle). There are plenty of fish at PSEG Oyster Bay but is the little one getting its share? The oldest is moving into the reptile phase. I remain very concerned for Mini – but always hopeful of a miracle. Mini remains too small and the Big sibling is really showing its dominance as it requires more and more fish. Then after the fish was finished, Big went ‘over’ Mini. Still, the Big ones kept eating and I could not see Mini. I cannot tell who got what…Mum was blocking the view. There was another fish delivery after this one. There were not as much fish at Patchogue today but Mini did eat in the morning and at 1902 was up there getting fish as well. It has been a few hours and he is hungry. Mini is trying to anticipate the next fish delivery and be up close to Mum. But there he was eating and flapping its little wings and walking on its feet, not its ankles today.Īnd a PS.
