I saw both young osprey fly from their nest on Friday morning. One made two trips from the nest and back making large circular flights from land to nest. The other one flew off a lot farther and I gave up waiting for it to return. Hopefully it did at some point.
In the photo above one of the young osprey is flying in to land in the nest and it’s sibling looks like it is cheering it on.
The above photo shows the young osprey approach to the nest after the second flight attempt. It did land on the edge.
Pursuit
The adult male from the other nearby nest decided to harass the kids and mom in the nest I watch after the young osprey had flight practice. The mom complained loudly and the dad from this nest returned and chased off the other male. The male from the nest I watch is in the back. He is recognisable by his eye defect/ injury. The male in the front is the pest from the other nest.
Have a happy Sunday!
