Catfish is the very early morning breakfast for the osprey fledglings.
This fish was delivered 13 minutes after dad had had his toe bitten
and he is carrying the fish in the foot that had gotten grabbed.
Good to see he had not lost any function in the toe nor drive to feed his offspring.

Rising sun, rising osprey fledgling.
Eyes shining in the light, the youngster landed with the confidence she was gaining.
She had fledged only a few days before.

Ace the Osprey has a favorite perch for eating his fish that he has caught at Jordan Lake.
One of the security lights makes a perfect table.
The slideshow gives you detailed moments to enjoy his power and grace as he makes his approach and landing. Enjoy!
please let me know, good or bad, what you think of the slideshow, thanks
I might be just a tad too high…
I think I’m going to miss my landing, again.
Drat, who keeps moving the nest.
Its hard work being an osprey fledgling.
This osprey fledgling had been chasing his father Ace when he decided to make a landing on the flat surface of the dam’s tailrace. The flat surface makes a landing tricky and takes a lot of concentration…
on July 2, 2015 the final osprey chick of the Jordan Lake family fledged
