Doc Ellen’s Evening Note

CategoryOsprey Moment
Jordan Lake. This lovely female osprey certainly made a dramatic moment of herself, her fish and all of the river water that she was leaving behind.
First Nest, First Look at Their Chick
Jordan Lake. Oh, joy! I managed to photograph a chick in the nest with mom Kate. The arrow is pointing at the baby underneath her chest area (above arrow). You can see a silhouette of the head and beak as the chick is facing to the right. Too many shadows for me to have any idea yet of the age of this one.

Osprey!
Jordan Lake. The ospreys have returned. The sky has suddenly filled with their chirps and fishing dives. This female appears to have a full crop and the remains of a fish meal on her lower abdomen. Welcome back Ospreys!
First Nest
Jordan Lake. First Nest. Kate and Bard have a chick or chicks that have hatched. 1) Kate is very proud to be a parent. 2) Mom Kate had been feeding chick(s) below my line of sight then stopped and looked very hard at her youngsters. It will be a while before we actually see the chicks.
