It's 3:16AM and Beauty is feeding again. I just shut my computer down 10 min ago! Looking at archive photos, DC made delivery at 3:04AM and looks like he stayed longer this time! I was just thinking about how these kids are very squirmy. Poor Beauty can't get any rest because as soon as they quiet down, one moves and disrupts the whole fluff ball pile! They sure are talkative eyasses!
I don't have ability to post/save pictures in this device, so will insert pictures tomorrow.
I am just amazed to be finding food deliveries made at this time of night! Wish I could tell what kind of prey. The 3:05am cam 2 picture has a good view of Beauty bringing in prey and DC on corner.
Based on these deliveries, I'm guessing he is now staying downtown at night.
Beauty fed until 3:34am. DC stayed on deck, at corner. She then left for about 1-2 minutes while DC stayed. When she returned at 3:36am, he is no longer on stills.
Wow! Who knew?! Thanks for the videos! I guess we learn everyday! They are great parents! |

Osprey Diary Thurs 30th May
Posted on May 30, 2013 by rangeremma

Still we wait, and wait. We have not yet given up hope for osprey eggs hatching at this nest this year, contrary to some newspaper reports.
Whilst egg number one is now ‘overdue’ , tomorrow is still only day 40 for egg two ( within normal range) and eggs 3 and 4 are all still to play for so to speak, as they are not even ‘due’ until tomorrow and Monday at the earliest. Whilst we have some concerns due to the eggs being exposed during incubation, the parents behaviour has been completely normal so we should still remain open-minded.
It is important to remember that this is an aged female bird who has already done more than any other osprey we know of to produce young and help repopulate the area, so really any chicks now are a bonus.
Our Osprey nest watch, protecting the birds form disturbance 24hrs a day, 7 day a week, would not be possible with a small army of volunteers who generously contribute time every year. These range from locals who do couple of hours every week, to full time residential volunteers who contribute 2 months here on the reserve. Two of these wonderful people are leaving us this week, and it seems a good time to say a HUGE THANKYOU to them for all their hard work, patience and perseverance. Julien and Rachel are both going onto to other exciting ecology projects, and we wish the very very best in their conservation careers.
