  • I'm about to sign off.  We started off with three chicks; one flew away; two still on nest. No fish, No Odin, No EJ yet.

  • Hi Annette,

    #3 ( formerly Titch) is  standing  right in front of the camera and looking into the lens . He is so-o-o-o- beautiful !!

  • Of course, just as I'm about to sign off, they both get up. Clearly (well, not really) but one assumes they must be wondering when breakfast will arrive.   Ooh, something flew overhead (didn't see it) and they both ducked. Something's overhead - #1 chick?    One has settled down, the other has started a major flapping event!  Also, one of them seems to do a lot of scratching around the ears - have noticed that for a week or two.  I know as soon as I leave, one will either fledge or someone will show up with fish! Do hurry!

  • #2 is  practicing Jump-flying across the nest . Not much lift yet 

    #3  still doesn't have his wings fully extended horizontally

  • Barbara Jean!  Hurray.  Do you know what bird with the piercing call is?

  • Bird just flew across the background and got their attention.

  • Well, the lack of action on the nest has been remarkable (and I've remarked on it quite a bit!).  All this could go one for another half and hour - but I can't. 

    So who's calling? These guys are both preening and doing yoga - it must be  #1 demanding breakfast off camera.

    Off I go - take care al and Happy Viewing today!

    I have no idea. Perhaps someone with more  knowledge of  bird calls can  answer you
