By Triplet Sprint

Jordan Lake. First Nest. The three bald eagle triplets were all together. It is rather unusual for me to find siblings this close together this far out after their fledging. There they were. So I said let’s see if I can do a video! I hope you enjoy the sprint…

By Mom Osprey is a Sunshade

Jordan Lake. Osprey parents will stand up in their nest and make a sunshade with their wings when it is very hot. They help protect their chicks from the sun this way. Both parents will do this activity. In this case it is mom Osprey and in 2nd part of video she is feeding her chicks.

Jordan Lake. First Nest. I listened and watched as the smallest of the triplets yelled to the whole world – left and right – that he was very very hungry. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Mom Kate approaching carrying a very large fish. As she banked towards the nest I glanced back up to where the fledgling had been and it was gone. I quickly looked back at the nest to see a dust up of feathers and beaks and a lot of squalling. Somebody got the fish, I’m just not sure who.

It is a very rhythmic feeding sequence with the occasional cork popping – oh, I mean an occasional cormorant popping up with a fish.
