Duh! :-)
He will care for her until she's at least 111 to break some records!
I haven't seen Maya yet

Being careful. but 2 things around 17:11
1) There is something calling alongside 1H1.. It has the same pattern as an osprey (i think), but maybe the sound is just off?2) Then at 17:11 a bird flies by.. is it an osprey? (see gif below)(I really, really promise to get better at this!!)
18:16 1H1 had left, but now an osprey is sitting on the cam pole and calling.. now that sounds like 1H1 to me, especially after hearing her all day long
She's on the nest again all morning calling for food. Picture from 7:40.. 1H1 was backing up and calling as if food was brought in.. than looked up and over pretty disappointed nothing was delivered.Haven't seen Maya since 25 aug 15:48...
Hopefully more than 1 fish today for 1H1

She is Korky! She is in prime condition which will set her in good stead to undertake the long journey ahead.
It is nice that she is taking her time but soon she will need to set off.
I am wondering about Maya - I've never known her to leave before the chicks but as Bart mentioned earlier, she has not been seen on the nest since 25 Aug.
09:19 FISH 1H1 had consistently been looking up at one of the adults who had a fish.
Appears to be Maya who has jumped down with it
Quickly taken by 1H1
and off she flies with it
