Thanks IAN

Patily I posted a map to show you where it was and some photos on the previous page, did you see those!!!   Only saying, just in case you didn't see them

The female at Boulder County nest is still incubating. 

Not quite a corvid but a Grackle has been singing to the female for a while I tried to capture with its mouth open but couldn't quite get it.

The male appeared fishless, stayed a while then left.

I downloaded about 5 hours of BARNEGAT LIGHT, NJ, today.

They have 3 eggs, the male is "banded" but I didn't get the number.

They're at the "he's still tryiing but she's not responding" stage:

Up in the left corner, 2 boys apparently fishing, one with a net on a stick and the other with a kinda sheet-net (don't know what it's called).  There's always been a lot of activity on the road on the right, too - a lot of American ospreys are inured to it.

Don't know if anyone is interested in this from Hellgate.

Iris vs the squirrel

Hi Starling. I keep in touch with Hellgate via videos from people I'm subscribed to. It looked as tho that foolhardy squirrel might have suffered a heckuva fall :(

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Remember we used to watch Hellgate a lot 7 or 8 years ago Starling, then when there was no Stan I stopped watching, plus there were more and more UK nests to follow.   I always thought of Iris being the US equivalent of EJ.  A formidable osprey!  

Mary - oh yes I remember, I'm still very fond of her, she doesn't seem to have had the best of luck since the loss of Stan, I think we had more time to watch then, less webcams as you say, but also information wasn't as readily available, osprey watching has become a full time job :)

Scylla - I never found out what happened to the squirrel, although I didn't try very hard :(
