How different yesterday has ended than the day before when the boys nestled together on the nest! One reason being that the cam inexplicably zoomed in around Night Cam time and never returned to normal. So we are not exactly sure who is on the nest tonight, though we can guess it is Willow.And we assume no one else is standing on the other side! Yesterday brought many flights on and off the nest for both siblings. Willow managed to fly off the nest with his fish, another milestone in a young osprey's development. Some speculated again about when EJ would venture fishing to support the increased volume needed of fish, now that both youngsters are airborne. And yet again Granny Smith supplied superb photos and a report of her visit to the VC.
One thing is certain, though the nest was empty a few times today, true ENS has not yet set in for us. Hopefully the cam pic will be normalized, and with good focus. :-?

Good morning MC. Sooner they alter the camera the better!
Birdies LG DU update.
One boy has just flown, can't make out who it was. Remainer has his back to us and I can't read the ring.

It was Rowan who flew:
EJ mantling and alarm chirping:
Odin is alarming calling too.
EJ louder.
Wings not blurred in this one:
EJ sounding more urgent, Odin too !!!
She's flown, shouting.
Back on the nest, shouting. Odin chipping/chirping.
This intruder won't give up!
Still going on.
