| DarrenH | 05/22/08 04:06 pm | Was watching the female feed the chicks bout 30 mins ago and i am sure i saw 4 chicks..can anyone else confirm this? |
| Kelly | 05/22/08 04:42 pm | Indeed there is now a 4th chick, as posted on their homepage. I haven't yet caught sight of it. |
| Kelly | 05/22/08 07:18 pm | Got a captue of the 4 little darlings! |
| lynn | 05/22/08 07:39 pm | What a treat to see four chicks in this nest after all the problems at other nests. Thanks for the great capture! :-)) Lyn |
| Tiger | 05/22/08 08:18 pm | It is possible to get four juves. See Four Juves I am aware of three other examples of a nest raising four chicks including Blackwater two years ago. |
| Celeste | 05/22/08 08:20 pm | So cute all lined up. Except for Blackwater having 4 surviving chicks that fledged, that is one thing I would have loved seeing on streaming video with sound...4 chicks chirping for food, 4 chicks flapping their wings and making lift off's, etc...What a sight that would be! |
| Kelly | 05/22/08 08:23 pm | Thanks, Tiger. Well they certainly have two great parents; so in my opinion the chances of the 4 of them fledging are pretty good! Of course it is early in the "process." But my fingers are crossed!!! |
| Tiger | 05/22/08 08:29 pm | Oh Kelly the parents of those juves in the picture were remarkable in that they repeated the feat the very next year. Not sure I can produce a picture mind you. |
| Kelly | 05/22/08 08:33 pm | What nest is that, Tiger? Is it still on-line? |
| lynn | 05/22/08 08:39 pm | That capture is great Tiger! It looks like they are on the runway lining up for their take off, just waiting for the control tower to give them the okay!! Lyn |
| Tiger | 05/22/08 08:45 pm | I do not know for definite but I think it is one in Minnesota. Interestingly Minnesota did not have any ospreys until about 24 years ago when they started a translocation project and released 282 young ospreys over a number of years. Last I heard there were at least 15 nests in the state. See Ospreys in Minnesota |
| Tiger | 05/22/08 08:49 pm | I think it may be this nest. See Osprey Cam |
| Kelly | 05/22/08 09:06 pm | That's a pretty remarkable program. At first, though, I wasn't quite sure about "hacking" the chicks ... visions of a horror movie danced through my head! And thanks for the link ... lots of great images. |
| Tiger | 05/22/08 09:11 pm | The ospreys at Rutland were translocated (hacked) over a period of five years. Before the project began they did study how it was done in Minnesota. Similar techniques are now being used to bring the osprey back to Spain and Italy. |
| Madeline | 05/24/08 01:46 am | Four little chicks waiting for mom to feed them. What little cuties. Nice capture Kelly. Tiger, thanks for the link, even though I thought I had that on my favorites already. Apparently I don't. Maybe it's on my AOL favs. Amazing how the 4 juves fit in the nest. Celeste, you're so right about it being an exciting active and noisy event. Do you think we'll ever see the DPOF cam again? I really miss it;-( |
